Our Avonlea

Welcome...

Time to meet everyone...

Before the wedding Hetty King had been fretting about all of the changes taking place in Avonlea...and fighting the changes with all of her might. She turned on all of her family, even refusing to go to Gus and Felicity's wedding. Half way through the ceremony; Felicity left the church, ran to Hetty's house and scoulded her for her behavior. Hetty went to the church to see the wedding. At the reception she had the following to say...

The Wedding Toast by Hetty King

   "Ladies and gentlemen, today on this day of days the most
   courageous young woman came to visit me, and I learned
   somthing valuble from her. You see I'd been fretting and
   fumming over the changes sweeping over our little town.
     Change is inevitable-course it is. People will leave our
    town, some may have to, but Avonlea will never vanish.
   Gus and Felicity will be staying here to carry on with the
   Foundling Home and one day start a family of their own
    perhaps. But wherever they go, all the young people of
Avonlea, the memory of this place, the people, the land, the
   sea. These things will never be forgotten, but'll remain in
their hearts forever. And so I'll ask y'all now to raise your
     glasses and join me in a toast. To the bride and groom.
   Friends and loved ones, near and far. That wherever you
wander, whatever glorious adventures lie ahead of you, you
can rest easy knowing you've a place to come home to. The
dearest spot on earth- our Avonlea."-Hetty in "So Dear My
                                         Heart."
