...Julie's wedding shoes, low-heeled white satin pumps with tiny seed-pearl bows in the back, come from Bendel's. Priscilla of Boston, who produced Luci Baines Johnson's 1966 wedding to Patrick Nugent, rounded up the wedding gown, bridesmaids' dresses and trousseau. The bridesmaids will wear pink...
...weeks into days. Mother and bride pored endlessly over lists of names before culling a roster of 700-plus guests. Myriad flowers were planted and nurtured, a raft of invitations elegantly addressed by three staff calligraphers.

Time is the real protagonist. Language gives the play its life. "Everything is finished," says the old maid.
