1 Every Saturday night was like a party.
2 A black drove came up over the hill behind the wedding party.
3 For Antonia and me, the story of the wedding party was never at an end.
4 Grandfather was never a party to what Jake called our feud with the Shimerdas.
5 It was in the dead of winter and the groom's party went over to the wedding in sledges.
6 The party set out with singing and the jingle of sleigh-bells, the groom's sledge going first.
7 After the ceremony at the church, the party went to a dinner given by the parents of the bride.
8 AFTER ANTONIA WENT TO live with the Cutters, she seemed to care about nothing but picnics and parties and having a good time.
9 Young farmers who were in town for Saturday came tramping through the yard to the back door to engage dances, or to invite Tony to parties and picnics.
10 Under Lena's direction she copied Mrs. Gardener's new party dress and Mrs. Smith's street costume so ingeniously in cheap materials that those ladies were greatly annoyed, and Mrs. Cutter, who was jealous of them, was secretly pleased.
11 Fuchs told me that the sunflowers were introduced into that country by the Mormons; that at the time of the persecution, when they left Missouri and struck out into the wilderness to find a place where they could worship God in their own way, the members of the first exploring party, crossing the plains to Utah, scattered sunflower seed as they went.
