Eli Yutzy and Joy Petermeyer have decided to get married. What they didn't realize was how much work there was to planning an Amish wedding in the short amount of time the Amish gives them. Joy wants to have the wedding in Uncle Jim's barn, but it hasn't been cleaned for one hundred years. She is supposed to sew her wedding dress, but Joy doesn't know how to sew. She is supposed to cook Eli a meal, but she can't cook. Enos Yutzy refuses to talk to Eli about the wedding, and if he won't attend the wedding then Eli's brothers and their families won't be there either. Daniel Lapp is coming with John Lapp's brother and his family from Tennessee for the wedding. Eli is worried Joy and Daniel might rekindle their romance. Besides all that stress, they have to worry about thieves in the area who are stealing the horse hair from the tails of their horses.
