A Most Blessed and Auspicious Occasion

In this fabulously offbeat story about love, a short story from Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory, a young engaged couple is forced to deal with interfering relatives dictating the appropriate number of ritual goat sacrifices for their wedding. As they navigate unaffordable Promise Eggs and traditional Shrieking Choruses, the betrothed start to question what it means to have a wedding—and what it will mean to be married to each other. A Vintage Short.
