The first floor was exquisitely decorated, featuring a traditional Chesian wedding theme of abundance, characterized by violet hues and golden accents.
Irene, dressed in a delicate pale gown, stood at the entrance welcoming guests alongside Anton. It was impressive how she maintained such a slim and graceful figure despite her age.
Anton and Irene wore coordinated outfits.
As his friends arrived, Anton stepped forward to greet them, offering cigarettes and engaging in conversation with a few familiar faces.
The atmosphere was vibrant and upbeat.
Inside the hall, many guests were taking selfies and posting them on Twitter, proudly showcasing their presence at the Whites' wedding.
Kaylee, stuck in traffic on her way to the Majestic Hotel, finally arrived only to find that the driver struggled to locate a parking spot. To avoid risking damage to the luxury vehicles, he proceeded with caution.
Kaylee decided to get out of the car and let the driver handle the parking.
Upon reaching the entrance, she coincidentally ran into Zoren and Jasper.
"Kay!"
Kaylee turned to see them and greeted with a smile, "Did you guys hit traffic too?"
Zoren approached. "We didn't get stuck. We just had a hard time finding a parking spot."
Kaylee replied, "There are so many luxury cars here. It almost looks like a car show."
Jasper added, "Luckily, Niall had reserved a spot for us, but with so many cars, it took a while to find it."
Kaylee thought that without the wedding, she might never have seen so many luxury vehicles gathered in one place.
Zoren looked Kaylee up and down and complimented her, "You look fantastic. Very fashionable."
Kaylee had dressed up for the occasion in a rarely worn dress that highlighted her slender figure and radiant complexion.
With the summer heat, she had her hair styled up and carried a simple white clutch—elegant yet understated, reflecting her years in the industry.
Kaylee blushed slightly. "Are you teasing me?"
Zoren replied, "Not at all. I genuinely mean it. Let's head inside.
"My parents got here early this morning and are probably already mingling inside."
The three of them entered the banquet hall and greeted Irene and Anton. Irene glanced at Kaylee with a look of recognition.
Kaylee said, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. White."
Irene gave Kaylee's shoulder a gentle pat and smiled. "Vio is upstairs. Go on up and enjoy yourselves."
