Oh, sure, we do have regular churches – my family goes to a Presbyterian one, there are two catholic ones… there must be more… I'm sure there are all kinds – if not in our town then somewhere in driving distance. No, the pastors and ministers didn't come here for a joint protest – they do have "youth clubs" but there is no homework help and their afterschool program is just not fun comparing to this place. Sunday service – you drive the kids here after lunch on Sunday and you're free till 8pm – shopping, resting. They do the sermons but it's the kids who read them. They write essays about a life lesson from a cartoon they watched together in Japanese. Yes, in Japanese. I don't know if they really understand it – never took my kids to Japan. Sure, we do pay but it's not that expensive. Besides we do want this place to look nice. The "IsePope" … he-he-he … no he doesn't call himself that … doesn't have a Ferrari… I don't know what car he has but surely if he drove anything fancy we'd know. Strange, I don't think I ever saw him drive – he just shows up a your door if he has to talk to you. So yeah, he made a name for himself here. To my knowledge he doesn't want to branch out. The "Misses IsePope"? Yes, I think I've seen her but she's probably too shy – she rarely comes out. The kids say they all saw her during the Summer Outings but we don't like people prying into our lives and we let him have his privacy. Probably that's why he picked our town and isn't leaving – I think his lady doesn't like large crowds and in this town you never come across any place with more than 3 cars parked near it.
The wedding – yes, Tammy, my niece, is a happy graduate of all of the programs this place offers, and so is Robert. Yes, high school sweethearts – how romantic is that! Yes, our town doesn't have a separate high school – we pool with 3 more towns and the kids drive there in the morning and drive home. Some have cars, some got parent transportation services he-he-he… Yes there's a bus but you have to request it and kids hate it – you missed it, you stay home, but if you come to the drop-off point early, you freeze or get wet… So Tammy is from our town and Robert from another and they did meet in high school. Tammy got him to come here – told him she's a top notch Healer and their party needs a Alchemist. He starting coming to this place and here they are – graduating from school, from this … khm … Church and joining for life. So sweet… Our little grown-ups… Their parents wanted them to wait up and not rush with the wedding, but they insisted. Oh, the sincerity of the young. They are both going to the same medical school in the Fall – she wants to be a Pediatrician and he wants to be a pharmaceutical scientist – to design new drugs. They got to use the grounds for the wedding for free, I hear, and the IsePope will be officiating. What do you mean he can't officiate – you don't have to be a priest to declare people married – anyone can apply for a license to do marriages in the State of Pennsylvania – not just clergy. The couple gets a marriage license from the town-hall and whoever got an officiating license stamps and dates it. Yes, a license everywhere …
