In The Land Of INVENTED LANGUAGES - Plot & Excerpts
The soft rustling that accompanied the reading of their vows was not the sound of autumn leaves but the fluttering of sheets of white paper, each one printed with a copy of the vows and distributed among the guests so they would be able to follow along. Bob, a large, heavyset man with a wide smile, went first: mi prami tu“I love you” .i mi djica lepo mi kansa tu“I desire the state of being with you” .i mi cuxna lepo mi speni tu“I choose the state of being married to you” Nora, petite and shy and unaccustomed to public speaking, was so nervous when it was her turn that she skipped a line without realizing it. After the ceremony, one of the guests, a student who had been taking the Loglan class that Bob and Nora held at their home, pointed out her mistake, and someone caught a photo of her reacting to the news with an embarrassed, happy laugh. Loglan had brought Bob and Nora together. Nora was one of the few women who ordered a copy of Brown's Loglan book (which he finally published in 1975) after she saw an ad for it in Scientific American.
