I know you'd try to win her less than a week before her wedding-day.... But it's not for that I'm going to beat hell out of you! It's because I hate you! Ever since I can remember my father held you up to me!
You beat me the last time in creating a sensation, and now I will give up to your better taste." And rarely has a bride looked sweeter than did Melvina Fenton on her wedding-day.
