Thanks for everyone being so patient with me.  I've had the entries for over a
month and a half, I've just never gotten around to judging them.  But I have
now.

I'm not much for giving secondary awards, so I'll make a few breif comments on
each peice and announce the winner.

John - beautiful look at a litugical wedding.  I came off of reading your story
intent on actually looking at the wedding service listed in the Book of Common
Prayer, since you mentioned it when posting.

Joel - nice folktale with a very good twist to the end

Christy - Very inventive use of sci-fi and points for the bonus phrase

Cath - Fun look inside the head of the mother of the bride

Evie - I was ecstatic to know that I could provide a challenge that allowed you
to finnish off Amarya's story, I've loved reading about the Soulcatcher


And so, without further ado, the winner of the challenge is:

Joel Limmer with "The Devil's Bride"
Joel managed the ghost story request and the Irving feel so beautifully, he
definitely takes the prize.  Tag, Joel, you're it.
