Remarks:
From the looks of this place, Alma Jr.’s wedding must have been “real nice.” Standing here, it is very easy to picture Monroe, dressed in his smartest apron, punch ladle in hand, presiding over the chafing dishes, finger sandwiches, condiments, and rented cutlery.

Although we don’t doubt that Kate Mara’s memorable articulation of the word “Methodist” (“METH uh dist”) is an authentic Wyoming pronunciation, none of several locals we asked about the word followed her example.

Quotation:
“The weddin’ll be June 5th at the Methodist Church. Jenny’ll be singin’, and Monroe is gonna cater the reception.”
