I hated being beside him. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining of Alessandro Dante Rossi and Victoria Cecilia Abbot, in holy matrimony but before we begin, I would like to ask if there is anyone here who thinks that these two should not be married?”. The whole room was quiet as I internally wished that someone would rise up from the witnesses and stop me from making a mistake of a lifetime.

Jennifer’s eyes finds me and she glared hard at me, almost like I am interrupting her which I probably am. “What’s up? You finally decided to come to mine after ignoring my messages for almost a month?” Colton asks. “You got married without even telling me of it.
