Marriage Wheel
by Joel Climenhaga

In the early 1800's, members of a sect followed the custom of marrying by lot.

Certain rules determined this "marriage grab bag."

Worst for the woman, if the man refuses she must become an old maid.

Three couples are involved and due to past family histories and present personality conflicts, their bargaining creates the grist for the "marriage wheel."

In the end all three couples get together and the wheel of marriage continues.
