Long tables had been set up to one side, piled with food. Not quite so much as at the May Day the Queen had put up a few days ago, but enough to entice anyone even if they had a full stomach already. Meats both warm and cold started at one end of the table, working into the grooms' favorite fruits, nuts, and of course the sweets. Small cakes and sugared nuts and candied fruits and many more in between. Wine, fruit juice, beer, water, and tea were made available at the far end, but no doubt the one cake everyone wished to see the most was kept well out of the way until the proper time.
THE WEDDING FEAST
