I really enjoyed this chapter!! I really felt the nervous energy of Frances at the wedding with Beau. When he came out to everyone, I felt that vomitous churning in my stomach laced with the excitement of no longer being in hiding. For the period of time that I was reading this, I wasn't a happily married newlywed. I felt like I was Frances. That's a tribute to your writing skills.

In defense of Charlotte, it was pretty crappy of him to come out at her wedding like that. Regardless of her prior behavior, she deserved that day to be hers. Frances knew that coming out to his family would be dropping a bomb and he did it without really considering his sister's feelings. Granted, the fact that it was Charlotte's day that was ruined tickles me a little.
