The Day the Dunwoody Mail-Order Brides Never Came: A Humorouss, Faith-Filled Plus-Size Bride Romance
September 5, 1896 - Cedar Bluff, Kansas.
The whole town crowded into the depot that Saturday morning, fanning themselves against the heat, whispering about the grand event: the arrival of eight mail-order brides for the towering Dunwoody brothers.
The brothers - rugged, handsome, and massive in stature - stood polished and pressed, boots shining, collars starched, hearts pounding louder than the train whistle. The women of Cedar Bluff, who had long ignored them, suddenly took notice, eyes sharp with jealousy.
But when the train hissed to a stop, not a single bride stepped down.
Instead, the telegraph rattled out eight telegrams: "We decline. Thank you kindly."
The Dunwoody brothers - strong as oxen, gentle as lambs, and utterly humiliated - were left standing alone. The town gasped. The women snickered. The sheriff looked away.
But when God closes a door, He opens another - sometimes with laughter.
Among the crowd were eight local women: plus-size, robust, overlooked women. Bakers, teachers, prayer warriors. Women who had been hidden in plain sight, praying for months that God would move. When the telegrams clicked in, they knew this was their moment.
Linking arms with the stunned Dunwoody men, they led them not into shame but into a banquet of cinnamon rolls, pies, lemonade - and the chance to be truly seen and loved.
