'' `` Aunt Olivia herself . So it is perfectly true . I 'm awfully sorry in one way -- but oh , wo n't it be splendid to have a real wedding in the family ? She 's going to have a big wedding -- and I am to be bridesmaid . '' `` I should n't think you were old enough to be a bridesmaid , '' said Felicity sharply . `` I 'm nearly fifteen . Anyway , Aunt Olivia says I have to be . '' `` Who 's she going to marry ? '' asked Cecily , gathering herself together after the shock , and finding that the world was going on just the same . `` His name is Dr. Seton and he is a Halifax man . She met him when she was at Uncle Edward 's last summer . They 've been engaged ever since . The wedding is to be the third week in June . '' `` And our school concert comes off the next week , '' complained Felicity . `` Why do things always come together like that ?
