"P" is prompting

After a little prompting from the minister, Ennis kissed his new wife.

"R" is restrained

The aforementioned kiss was rather restrained.  I wonder what the minister could have done.

"S" is sealed
« Reply #12052 on: March 23, 2007, 09:30:30 am »
The wedding ceremony was sealed with a somewhat restrained kiss. Perhaps the reason was that the groom's lips were sealed about whom he had previously kissed.

                    JOLLY MINISTER
          ...under the powers vested in me, I now
          pronounce you man and wife... you may
          kiss the bride...
               (wink, smile)
          ...and if you don't, I will....

EVERYONE titters.  ENNIS and ALMA, both nervous and shy,
smile, kiss one another.  [screenplay]

"U" is unachievable
« Reply #12054 on: March 23, 2007, 10:42:16 am »
Ennis knows that an open long-term relationship between two men is unachievable in 1963 Wyoming.   There would have been more than titters if he were standing there kissing Jack Twist.

However ill-advised, Ennis was now in the vise grip of marriage.

The story has Ennis and Alma in wedlock in December of 1963.

The Jolly Minister xerts the powers vested in him to marry Ennis and Alma and to kiss the bride if the groom doesn't.

"A" is attendance
« Reply #12059 on: March 23, 2007, 12:01:41 pm »
Both Ennis and Alma had family members in attendance at the wedding in Riverton on that November/December day of 1963:

  • ENNIS'S RAW-BONED SISTER,
  • ENNIS'S RAW-BONED BROTHER,
  • ALMA'S LITTLE PARENTS,
  • ALMA'S LITTLE GRANDMOTHER,
  • and A FEW COWBOYS.
