Sreya was getting impatient, "Can you read the damn thing?" Her friend laughed, "Woah, hold on tiger" Ariah sat up and rubbed at her eyes, "I think you meant to say 'sleeping beauty' not rapunzel" But Luna whose impatience topped Sreya's by a hundred and ten percent was already on her phone, she frowned at the screen, "The heading's quite catchy, 'KIRKGARDE WEDDING CANCELED? BRIDE-TO-BE, CRYSTAL JUSTICE, IN TEARS'. Wow".

As I stepped into the bridal suite, the air was thick with excitement and the sweet scent of anticipation. The room itself seemed to come alive with the vibrant energy of my bridesmaids – Aria, Scarlett, and Penny – who were already there, bustling about. Aria was busy organizing the array of makeup and hair products scattered across the vanity. Scarlett, ever the perfectionist, was meticulously arranging my bouquets of flowers, insuring that every petal was fresh. And Penny, with her infectious laughter, was struggling to zip up her dress.

If I were at the wedding, I would be there as the 'sister', not a stranger with luggage in tow. He must have been mistaken. The venue lights dimmed, and Ashton and Lydia stood center stage, exchanging rings and gazing into each other's eyes with syrupy sweetness. The crowd erupted, egging them on to kiss.

Elsie then took the tray away and returned with a gourd tied with a string. The MC announced that it was time for the Wedlock Wine. With the help of Helenor, Elsie undid the string, and the gourd split into two pieces. They poured the wine into each side and handed it to the bride and groom. The bride took her piece of the gourd, lifted her veil above her nose, sipped the wine, then returned it to Elsie, where Blake sipped his side and handed it back to Helenor, where the servants exchanged them, and the bride and groom continued.
