Wedding Insurance
My paper is going to cover what is supposed to be one of the happiest days in people’s lives, their wedding day. I spoke to my cousin who is a Farm Bureau insurance agent and asked her for some ideas on insurance that is out of the ordinary and she directed me to Wed-Sure, a specialized agency that covers wedding. When I think of that type of insurance, I was thinking that would be used when either the bride or groom backs out at the last minute. I was surprised to see how many different situations can occur to cause a wedding to be delayed.
The story that I have chosen to tell is about an unexpected death that occurred on the eve of a well planned, very expensive, wedding
Sol and Chaya planned their wedding in downtown Washington, D.C., at a grand, historic hotel. It would be a formal event with 300 guests and a four-course meal at the reception. Sol's father was a retired senator, so the guest list was diverse and included many influential and well-known people.
The night before the big event, a more casual, albeit quite swanky, rehearsal dinner was scheduled at the historic bar and grill attached to the hotel. Sol's 88-year-old father, David, was riding the train from New York and two of his favorite indulgences, lobster and prime rib, were on the menu. David was quite proud of his son and fond of his soon-to-be daughter-in-law. He relished the thought of mingling with old friends and spending time with his family.
All was going according to plan until the evening of the rehearsal dinner, when Sol went to the train station to pick up his father. As riders exited the train, David was nowhere to be found.
Sol called his father's cell phone, but there was no answer. He then went to the ticket counter at the train station to see if his father, David had purchased a ticket. Indeed, he had purchased a ticket so his disappearance was disheartening.
Sol noticed a policeman and an EMT boarding the emptied train, and his heart started pounding in his chest. He

    "We are gathered here today to mourn the death of Bramble Elliot, who died on the 22nd of May. A girl who thought taking her life was the only solution and thought she wouldn't have missed or mourned. But she was wrong..." I hear the Priest say but after that I space out. Tears are dowry streaming down my face and I can't focus on anything except a few words. "Guilt...tragedy...pain...death..." Suddenly, someone's shaking my arm and I realize it's time for me to give my eulogy. Snapping out of my daze, I look up to see Mr. Elliot standing in front of me with red eyes filled with tears. I'll admit Paul—Mr. Elliot—is handsome with his short, brown hair, striking grey eyes, tanned skin and a fit body. Perfect like his wife, Ella. She has long, curly brown hair, dazzling blue/green eyes, a skinny body and freckles…
