First Chapters Beginning New Years Eve

Mary Jane talked about doorways to the future in Spiderman II. Of course, that was after she had jilted her groom leaving him standing at the altar. The fate of her wedding day, like every other bride and groom was an uncertain destiny. What type of wedding she had visioned with Superman lay in the webs. At any wedding related event, the first sight is the doorway. Showers, pre-wedding parties, weddings and their receptions have doorways to enter into the event. What sets New Years aside from other days is the time factor. At the time that most of those who attend leave the event, save for a trip to their car to get something, it will almost certainly be another year. This year, it will be another decade since 2010 will have arrived in style. Garlands and evergreens can be lavished upon door frames. This can be done for every New Years wedding event.
