The following quote is from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 14, “A Marriage Takes Place.” Copyright 1991 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“ I had so far avoided looking at him, but now glanced up to find him staring down at me. His face was white and carefully expressionless; he looked as he had when I dressed the wound in his shoulder. I tried to smile at him, but the corners of my mouth wobbled precariously. The pressure of his fingers on mine increased. I had the impression that we were holding each other up; if either of us let go or looked away, we would both fall down. Oddly, the feeling was mildly reassuring. Whatever we were in for, at least there were two of us.“

[> This whole scene is wonderful...so well written. Diana captures their spirits. And in all honesty, I felt a little like this at my wedding, too. Like, "OMG, this is real!" -- Janet, Tue, April 11 2023, 10:42:22

[> It's so sweet that he was scared, too. It really does capture the uncertainty and nervousness of the ceremony. -- kgp, Tue, April 11 2023, 12:44:33
