    I rented a hut from them when I first arrived.” “And you and your wife loved it here so much you chose to stay.” “Actually, I came alone, and met someone here.” “And now you want to marry her.” “Actually, yes, I do.” “And I’ll bet she won’t come here to get married.” Don’s face went pale. How did this stranger know? Pastor Ken smiled a gentle smile and said, “I’m sorry friend, but I don’t know your name.” “Don. Don Taylor.” “Don Taylor, a good name. Don, I’m a third generation pastor. My grandfather and my father built the original church, and took care of the religious needs of the people. I have two sons and I’m hoping one will follow in my path. But if not, then I hope the good Lord will bring me the right person to continue the good work. “Now, being an island native and a third generation pastor, I know a few things. My father and grandfather would often talk about men who would marry women who weren’t native women, but would fall deeply in love with them. These men would come to Cala for different reasons and over time, they would ask for private ceremonies to marry these women. Often, this was the only time they’d see these women. I’m well aware of the whispers and stories of mermaids that live in these waters, and to be honest, if they are true, then they are God’s creatures and deserve to be loved like anyone else.” “Why are you telling me all this?” asked Don. “My father was a good man.

Sadly, just a few years later, my father performed this man’s funeral service. He and a few others were killed in a freak accident. Now, my father never confirmed my suspicions about this woman, but I think she is the barmaid. I have tried to speak with her, and she admits to having two children, and when I inquire about their father, she does say he was killed some time ago, but nothing more.” “And you don’t think she came with the man?” “No, I think she came to the island to find him. However, if she is a mermaid I don’t know. I do know she is an amazing woman and if she really has two children, then she has set an excellent example for them both. Now, as to why I told you this story. My father told me that if a man ever comes by and asks about performing a private wedding, to do it. As I said before, even mermaids are God’s creatures and should enjoy happiness. Now, would you like to bring your bride-to-be here, or would you prefer I come to your home?” Don gaped at Pastor Ken for a moment or two. Did he know about Angel and her people? Had his father and grandfather performed mermaids to human men marriages in the past? “Don’t you require paperwork?” Pastor Ken shook his head. “No Don Taylor. Paperwork doesn’t mean a thing to me. Answer me honestly, if you would please, do you love this woman?” “With all my heart,” ...
