This story is a work of fiction. If you are looking for sex pass this one by.

The day before the wedding people began arriving from Wiley’s Gap. The real surprise was the Brothers Martin were there. They were sober and all smiles.

The owner of the Freight Company was also there and I had to reinforce the rules. No business until after the wedding. I carried on my usual day which is always busy. For some reason the Wolves seemed to be drawn to me today, They were constantly under foot. I think it was due to all the strangers camped all around.

After supper I opened the door to my room and was very surprised to see a set of Buckskins very well made and decorated, supple and soft… I think Bright Moon had been busy …

The ceremony began at dawn with a cold bath then they began the plating of their hair then the dressing. Each article of clothing was offered to the spirits North, South, East and West. Then brought to the Tepees where they were dressing. The head dressing was the last. The Medicine Man blessed the opening of the Tepees.

The drums which had been echoing the Medicine Man’s movement. Suddenly… the sound ceased… The Flap on the Tepees opened. Running Wolf stepped out of his first and walked to the Medicine Man. The detail of the markings of his Buckskins were well made. While everyone admired Running Wolf. I stepped to Bright Moon’s Tepee and held out my arm and escorted her toward the Medicine Man.

When she was noticed the guests began to mumble, Bright Moon was Beautiful I placed her hand into Running Wolf’s hand and backed to the side. Little Sky had a strip of Buckskin that matched their outfits. He laced it across their hands and began to chant to the Spirits. ( as I mentioned the Comanche have no wedding ceremony )

No one including the other Comanches could understand what Little Sky was saying but he was milking it for all he was worth. Lastly he held both hands to the sky. As if on cue there was a clap of thunder and a streak of lightning. He gripped their hands held them up and said in English, “The Spirits approve.” Everyone yelled and clapped, “

Nothing else needed to be said everyone began moving toward the food. That is except Bright Moon and Running Wolf.
