Wedding Day

In a future where women outnumber men five to one, marriage has become a carefully regulated arrangement. Four women—Polly, June, Doris, and Sue—have been selected to form a quadracell with Hollis Jamison, a single man who will join their household and complete their legal union. Through telepathy and a year of preparation, the women have learned to share thoughts, feelings, tastes, and responsibilities, creating a cooperative partnership designed to avoid jealousy and conflict.

Now, on the morning of their wedding, they are busy preparing their apartment, arranging flowers, and making themselves beautiful with the help of an exclusive nuptial perfume. Yet beneath the excitement lies a quiet anxiety: even the most carefully matched marriage cell cannot fully control human emotion. As the four women debate coffee, compromise, attraction, and the sacrifices required of them, their perfect unity faces its first real test—just hours before the groom arrives.
