Oh I don't know... yes, I can understand Claire's reaction, until now she's been taking notes for her own wedding.

SHORT DIGRESSION: I may be over-thinking this, but I suspect Jeph has done far more behind the scenes research than you realise. Take a look at Claire's body language. She "vibes" far more Girl than the others, see demure position of arms etc. Not an act, just the way some are, the way some guys are all macho, strutting like peacocks and swinging their, um, carkeys.
She's a bit of an old-fashioned girl, like me, My bet is that her dreams involve a white knight on a steed, a white picket fence, and a family. OK, adopted, no biggie. She might even have a hope chest.
/DIGRESSION

This actual ceremony was much like ours, 31 years and 9 days ago. An outdoor wedding, but the day the 3-year drought broke, so it was conducted in the shelter of a closed souvenir kiosk's awning, and somewhat abbreviated due to gale-force winds. It sufficed.

Music planned (the cassette tape machine got soaked of course so no music)

Entry of the couple and gathering of the wedding party:

It was playing in my heart, anyway.

I'd like to think that this wedding had something similar. Words sometimes get in the way.

Dammit, can I be tearing up over a wedding in a comic? Maybe it's a generational thing, I note Veronica is too.

RedWolf4:
Oh man, hope chests. My mother had one of those.

Then she had me at sixteen. I wonder if she gave it to my sister. . .

"Look, you've seen your brother. Don't screw it up!"

Soulsynger:
Oh come on, Claire. Weddings are everything BUT only about the vows, promise and kiss.

Some might even say a wedding is a ceremony lasting a lifetime... but seriously, the party is just getting started.

DSL:
Does seem to be sort of a short ceremony for which to hire a horse. Maybe the horse had to be returned quickly to get back the deposit.

Although, as Akima hinted, getting the deposit might not be a problem.

... aw, Veronica is a sentimental horrid old ... softie. Unless she's focusing her eye laser, I dunno.

Soulsynger:
I got the vibe the horse wasn't even planned but was a last-minute addition of Maurice's after what Veronica said about her and Henry's wedding. He wanted to knock it up a notch.
