Jay could only sigh helplessly. "What kind of marriage did I get myself into?"
Angeline started giggling incessantly.
They were starting to set off fireworks downstairs, and Jay knew that it was now time to leave Swallow City.
Jay said to Angeline, "I'll carry you home now, Angeline."
Angeline spread out her arms and said, "Jaybie, carry me princess style."
Jay nodded.
Just as he picked Angeline up, Lady Severe and Sis Shirley walked in with reddened eyes. There was a reluctant expression on their faces.
"Angeline, promise Mom that you'll be happy," Lady Severe took Angeline's hand over and said in a choked -up manner.
Angeline was initially in a pleasant state of mind. Hearing Lady Severe’s words though, she realized that her mother must be so reluctant to part with her daughter who was getting married. One could only imagine the grief she must be feeling.
Angeline's tears burst out of her eyes.
"Mommy."
The mother and daughter cried in each other's embrace.
Sis Shirley comforted, saying, "You have to visit more often, Angeline. Mom and I are both looking forward t o it."
"Alright."
Jay wiped Angeline's tears for her and said, "Now, now, don't cry. You’re the most beautiful bride today. Are you planning to get married with puffy eyes?"
Lady Severe pushed Angeline in front of Jay and firmly said, "You can take her away now, JJ."
Jay carried Angeline and walked out the door.
