The opening of the book introduces the wedding of Billy and Bertram through the clergyman’s familiar words, highlighting the couple's joy and naivety as they exchange vows. This moment leads to reflections from family members about their concerns for the couple's future, notably Billy's perceived irresponsibility and lack of practical skills.
