"Wedding Day" by Winston K. Marks is a science fiction story written in the early 1950s. The narrative explores themes of polygamous marriage in a futuristic setting where societal conditions have drastically changed the dynamic between the sexes. The book likely highlights the intricacies of forming emotional and cognitive connections among multiple partners within a shared marital arrangement. The story centers on four women—Polly, June, Doris, and Sue—who are about to marry Hollis Jamison, the sole man among them in a world where men significantly outnumber women. The narrative unfolds on their wedding day, just moments before the ceremony. As they prepare, the women engage in playful arguments and express their individual anxieties regarding the union. They possess a unique connection through telepathy, which reinforces their bond and signifies the unity required for their marriage cell. Despite their different personalities and skills, they have been matched to complement each other, with shared hopes of a future that includes starting a family. The story culminates in the ceremony, where Hollis ceremoniously places rings on each of their fingers, signifying their new life together. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
