May There Never Be a Lack of Love
Under the marquee, the party begins. The best man declares it open the way they do in the films, dinner is served, and then come the speeches. The best man, Daniel's father through his son, Daniel's mother in Portuguese, and Grandma Nena's blessing. Make a speech and a toast, say "who would have thought that", pass on "if he'd known, he'd have come", and give a blessing.

THE STORY
Saturday evening, under the marquee. At six the bride and groom come in, and the best man has a surprise for Daniel's mother. At nine dinner is over, the lights Daniel hung on Wednesday are on, and the forro trio is waiting by the stage. Rafael stands up and taps a glass with a fork. Everyone goes quiet, even Uncle Tonho. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
