Ngunit akala ng ilan ay tatanggalin lang ang t-back na iyon. Ipapasuot iyon ni Gretchen kay Anton. Game naman si Anton. Hindi naman kasi niya kakilala ang mga tao doon. Nagsigawan ang mga tao ng magsimulang mag-dirty dancing ang groom na sinabayan pa ng instrumental na tugtog ng saxophone. “Akala mo ha!” pang-aasar pa nito kay Gretchen. Nilubos nila ang masayang okasyon na parang kasal na nga talaga nila. May wedding picture pa sila.

After that the host called for the newly wed to dance. May iba ring nakisayaw at lahat ng kasama ko ay nakihalo doon kaya mag-isa akong naiwan. Pinili kong tumayo para sa likod na lang pumwesto.

Nagsimulang tumugtog ang banda. Marahang pumailanlang sa ere ang unang nota ng My Valentine ni Jim Brickman, kasunod ang boses ng babaeng bokalista. If there were no words No way to speak I would still hear you “May I have this dance, Mrs. Alaric?” tanong ni Rhett sa mababang tinig, bahagyang yumuko na parang nasa isang pormal na ball.

“And for Ana… thank you for being the sister my Belle will always need. Your love is brave. And now, to both of you, Belle and Ana, Adrian and Luke… cheers to messy beginnings and magical endings!” Sabay-sabay nagtaas ng baso ang lahat. “Alright, let’s begin the couples’ dance!” sigaw ng host. “Ladies and gentlemen,” anunsyo ng emcee habang kumikindat sa crowd, “let’s welcome our newlyweds—Mr. and Mrs. Luke and Belle Villa, and Mr. and Mrs. Adrian and Ana Manalo—for their first dance as husband and wife!” Tumunog ang instrumental ng “Can’t Help Falling in Love”.
