Wedding Day is a Z-machine interactive fiction story written with Inform 7 and is © 2014 by E. Joyce. It was an entry in Ectocomp 2014 where it took 5th place.
In this short story, it's your wedding day. You are not young for a bride. Once dressed, you try to enjoy the celebration in the village square. But as the crowd dances and the Village Elder stands apart, watching, you wonder if you can truly go through with it. Are you ready?
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the story.
