For years to come, all Cottonville and Glenville would tell their children and grandchildren about the most extraordinary wedding of the Century. Colin Jacobson, alias Bill Collins, tried to force Laura to marry him at gunpoint. She refused and a fight ensued with cats, police and parishoners ending the battle and hauling Jacobson off to jail. With the wedding behind them, Steve and Laura plan their honeymoon that gets put on hold by weather, illness, and a community construction committee. When they finally get away, Rascal and Mischief hitch a ride with a trucker and seek to bring them back. When she returns, Laura finds a body hanging from the machinery at the bridge construction site.
