1 Sometime after that, Harry and the followers got invited to a awedding,
2 Because some of the guys on the groom's side were worried that the reception would be dull,
3 Since it was taking place in the basement of the church,
4 bWhich wasn't a good sign,
5 At all,
6 And so Harry and the followers agreed to go,
7 Which they did,
8 And had a marvelous time,
9 Because when the wedding vows had been said,
10 And the bride had kissed the groom,
11 And the priest had pronounced them man and wife,
12 Harry spoke up from the back row of the church, saying in a loud voice,
13 Those whom mere words have joined together may not now be separated except by teams of clawyers, at a cost of thousands and thousands of dollars. Is this not a wonder to behold?

4 Who danced with the bride three times,
5 And then with all the bridesmaids,
6 And then with the mother of the bride,
7 And then with the mother of the groom,
8 Not to mention falling into the cake,
9 Which everyone thought was just hilarious,
10 And meant that they should have even more champagne,
11 Which they went to ask Harry to produce,
12 Except that they couldn't find him,
13 Anywhere.

CHAPTER 53
1 Then the followers went looking for Harry,
2 And some went out to look for him in the Silver Cloud,
3 And some went into the bridesmaids' dressing room,
4 And some went back to the hotel,
5 But Harry was in none of these places,
6 Because he had gone upstairs instead,
