The morning after the wedding, John and Isabelle woke up feeling the fatigue of the previous day's wedding. It was already almost noon by the time they dragged themselves out of bed, both of them were still wrapped in the warmth of the celebration but the weariness was hard to shake off. Isabelle stretched and yawned while John rubbed his eyes trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. They exchanged tired smiles and made their way to the sitting room where Rebecca, Rachel, Emily and Jack were already seated chatting.
As soon as they entered the room, the conversation halted and smiles broke out across everyone's faces. There was a certain glow about John and Isabelle, the newlyweds. Rebecca and Rachel were especially thrilled and their excitement showed through their wide grins.
"Here they are! The newlyweds!"
" Rebecca exclaimed as she stood up and opened her arms widely.
