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."
The bouquet finally fell into Cindy's arms. Scarlett gave her a meaningful look. Cindy took the bouquet and almost fled down the stage.
There were more than a thousand people at the wedding. Raymond wasn't as cold as usual. He and Scarlett toasted to the guests. However, few guests asked them to drink because Scarlett was pregnant. She drank grape juice instead of red wine. There were one hundred and fifty tables at the wedding. They toasted for over an hour, which was fast.
After the toast, Raymond and Scarlett had nothing to do. Raymond accompanied Scarlett to the dressing room. Scarlett took off the heavy wedding dress and replaced it with a light dress.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben kept their eyes on the wedding. Raymond said goodbye to Alexander, Stephen and Jake and took Scarlett back to the Shaw Residence.
It was fair enough for Mr. and Mrs. Tank to stay at the wedding and take care of the guests.
So Raymond and Scarlett left the wedding early. No one could say anything.
After all, they got married today and wanted to enjoy the sweet night.
