Lois McMaster Bujold. Winterfair Gifts. 2002. Translation: Anna Khodosh. A short story dedicated to the adventures of Miles Vorkosigan, and more specifically, his wedding, which, as you can guess, goes completely differently from ordinary people. Miles decided to get married... But it turns out that not everyone has his plans like it. Some insidious ill-wishers decided to take his fiancee to the grave, and himself to a mental hospital. Two in one bottle, as they say... True, it’s oh so difficult to understand what kind of ill-wishers these are...
