Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

In a moment that could have easily turned dramatic, it was fortunate the Costello family decided not to make a fuss about the invitation mix-up at the entrance. They graciously let the guests in anyway.

Meanwhile...

A business owner, robbed of his invitation, wiped away tears as he left in the cold wind. He was only a little late, and the CEO of the Mintons had snatched his invite. A CEO, no less! The audacity to steal! Outrageous!

Elsewhere...

Sophie was in the dressing room, getting her makeup touched up. After the makeup artist ensured everything was perfect, Jenna, her bridesmaid, nervously asked, "Did you remember everything the MC went over? Do you need to look over your vows again?"

Catching Jenna's flustered reflection in the mirror, Sophie couldn't help but laugh, "Jenna, it's my wedding day, why are you more nervous than I am?" "I... of course, I'm nervous!"

"I've never been a bridesmaid before. What if I mess up my speech on stage?"

"That won't happen, bridesmaids don't need to make a speech!"

Angelo suddenly walked in, followed by Sandy. Sophie turned around to see them both approaching.

Jenna asked, "What are you guys doing here? Weren't you going to mingle and enjoy the banquet?"

Sandy replied, "We were, but my brother said he couldn't eat."

"Why not?"

Jenna was puzzled.

Angelo's appetite was legendary; how could he not be hungry? She was worried the twenty-four-course meal per table wouldn't even fill the gaps between his teeth! Angelo hemmed and hawed, "Just not hungry, okay? Why does there have to be a reason?"

"It's because of Odie, isn't it? I bet my brother and I lost our appetites the moment we saw that annoying pest!"

Hearing this, Sophie asked in confusion, "Odie is here?"

"Yeah, apparently got an invite, so

just showed up," Sandy grumbled "Sophie, you and Colby really shouldn't have sent Odie an

invitation. That pest shows up, and there goes the concert!"

At that, Sophie's smile froze, "Concert?"

"Yeah, there was a concert happening outside, quite the lively scene!"

Sophie facepalmed.

This wedding was turning out to be rather unforgettable...

"Sophie, the old man loves a lively atmosphere probably thought the concert would appeal to us youngsters... Though the entrance was a bit explosive, this segment, bizarre as it was, is negligible in the grand scheme!" Jenna tried her best to comfort Sophie.

Sophie responded, "The wedding, for me, is just a formality. As long as everyone else is happy, that's what matters."

Hearing Sophie's words, Jenna breathed a sigh of relief, but then something else crossed her mind, "Wait, where's Adler?"

"He's probably with the groom. Oh right, I'm a groomsman too; sorry, wrong room!"

With that, Angelo turned and hurried off towards Colby's dressing room.

"The bride and groom are about to make their entrance! It's time!"

Suddenly, a voice called out from outside the door.

At that moment, Sophie's heart, which had been calm, began to race. Though she said the wedding was just a formality, this was her first time experiencing one of her own. en.swhovels.net

This time... she was going to be happy.
