Did they have to rub it in? Alexander already felt sad about having no girlfriend.
Scarlett's and Raymond's parents died.
Rowan was going to give a wedding speech on behalf of their parents.
Rowan attended the wedding, which showed how much he valued this wedding.
Rowan had been retired from the army for many years and his speech was as short and solemn as a soldier's. "Today is a good day. My granddaughter Scarlett finds her beloved man and they are ready to get married. I feel very happy for them.
Raymond, our family loves and cherishes Scarlett very much. Today, you are going to be Scarlett's husband. I hope you cherish her." "I will, Rowan."
Raymond looked serious and promised Rowan. Rowan nodded in satisfaction and left the stage.
The host put the focus back on Raymond and Scarlett and let them do the speech.
Taking the microphone, Scarlett looked at Raymond and said with a smile, "I have a good memory. I remember what you said. I hope you remember too."
Scarlett was not a sentimental woman. She wouldn't say something sensational.
She would not say sweet words and neither would Raymond.
Hearing what she said, Raymond looked at her and responded, "I have a good memory too. I won't forget what I promised."
"That's good."
They didn’t say anything sentimental, but the people on the stage still felt very romantic.
Alexander felt bad about being single and said, "Their wedding speeches are so special. Only they know what each other is saying."
