"E" is erupted

The congregation erupted into titters after the jolly minister's "...and if you don't, I will" comment.

Alma would get a wedding ring to wear on her finger. Was it from J.C. Penny's also?

"G" is Gothic

The Del Mar-Beers wedding portrait resembles the Grant Wood painting "American Gothic" in its severity.  The gothic windows in the farmhouse match those in the wedding chapel.

"H" is hesitated

Ennis hesitated before kissing his new wife; he seemed to be following the minister's instructions like a robot.

It is unclear who all the invitees to the wedding are.

=aside= Paul
Interesting observation about "American Gothic."

"J" is jambs

Inside the "little pine box of a church," the window jambs appear to match the paneling on the walls.

"L" is letting

By marrying Alma, Ennis is letting his old plans with Alma and her family override his true desires.

"M" is mingling

Little did Ennis know, when he proposed to Alma Beers, that he would be mingling happiness with regret on their wedding day.

"N" is nuptial

It wasn't all nuptial bliss that winter day in 1963; is Ennis thinking about Jack?

"O" is off-the-rack

Alma bought an off-the-rack wedding dress at J.C. Penny. (Lureen probably wore Dior.)
