"Wow, just wow! Breathtaking, truly breathtaking!"
"I guess this must be what Xan mentioned at the Celestial Cinema Awards ceremony, the mountain of irises Mr. Lockwood planted for her?"
"How romantic is that? Which girl could possibly say no?"
Christopher and Susanna were invited to join Theodore and the rest of the Lockwood family on the raised platform to mingle and chat.
Oliver stood off to the side of the stage, silently rehearsing his lines in his head. Ethan and Samuel looked up at the mountain blanketed with irises, utterly astounded.
"Who would have thought? Orion planted a whole mountain of irises. He really loves Xan."
"That's because our Xan is irresistible!"
"Is it time?"
Getting the cue through his earpiece, Oliver picked up the microphone and cleared his throat, facing the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends and family, please take your seats in an orderly fashion; the wedding is about to begin!
I'm deeply honored and thrilled to be here today as the bride's uncle, acting as the officiant for her and her groom's wedding.
Most of you might not know, but the bride and groom have met when they were just children, their bond forged by chance but deeply rooted in mutual affection.
This bond has weathered storms and basked in sunshine, growing stronger with each passing day, blossoming into the beautiful flower of love we celebrate today.
As an elder, I sincerely and wholeheartedly wish them a life filled with love, happiness, and unity! Now, let's welcome our adorable flower boys to join the groom!"
Down the rose petal-covered aisle, a pair of cute little flower boys walked hand in hand.
