There was much cheer in the anteroom, when Quinn suddenly remembered something and asked, "I wonder how things are going with John's wedding."
While Cordy pursed her lips, Zoe remained cheerful and said nonchalantly, "Who cares? He's not marrying a woman I like, so he can do whatever he wants."
Quinn chuckled. "Well, I'm just a little curious. There's nothing on John in the news at all—it's all you and Jay topping trending searches."
"Of course," Zoe said smugly. "A star director and a star actress—now that's a real power couple. Everyone's going to be as jealous as they are envious."
"Yeah, yeah, you're the best," Quinn replied.
Zoe could not care less—she was the main event and the happiest person there was.
They continued chatting and laughing for a while until a staff member entered. "Ms. York? You may enter the wedding hall now."
Zoe became visibly agitated. "What should I do? I'm getting a little nervous…"
"Aren't you a star actress who's used to red carpet events? Are you going to let a little wedding get you down?" Quinn teased.
"That's different. I fake it for red carpet events, but this is my wedding!" Zoe exclaimed with thrill. "I can't help getting excited, knowing that I'm going on stage with my beloved…"
"Whatever. Get a move on already, or you'd be delaying it," Quinn urged.
Zoe pouted—Quinn must be jealous of her being caught in bliss, and she lifted her skirt to stride out.
Yelena was already brought to the aisle since she was the flower girl, and she had to prepare.
Cordy and Quinn followed Zoe to the wedding hall, entering the miniature castle arch placed opposite the stage. Curtains formed the ramparts on both sides, hiding them and keeping things mysterious.
