Her Broken Dreams For a Beautiful Wedding

The aftermath of Matthias' shocking revelation left the wedding in a mess. The guests blankly stared at one another, unsure of what to do until a voice resounded from the speaker.

Declan stood near the altar, holding a microphone.

"As the Elsher family's representative, I apologize for showing such a scene to all of you."

Declan paused, letting the confused guests register his words. Feeling a lump in his throat, he forced himself to resume, holding up his cracked composure.

"The ceremony won't be happening but, please make your way to the reception hall. The meals will still be served as scheduled."

Declan regrettably made the announcement, stepping up for Jonathan because his father was too upset to face the guests. 

Stephanie had run off, most likely heading to the dressing room. Samantha, Fridah and the others followed suit.
