All guests were there
Scanning the room, the bride noted the arrival of most guests, all familiar faces. Yet, to her surprise, not a single member of Larry’s family had appeared. Anticipation had mounted for at least twenty relatives from his side, but as time stretched beyond thirty minutes since the last arrival, her hope dwindled.
Anxiety crept in as she grappled with the possibility of Larry’s family failing to show for his special day. Sympathy swelled within her for him, witnessing what seemed like their disinterest in his momentous occasion. She couldn’t help but ponder the potential insensitivity of their absence on such a significant day in Larry’s life. The bride couldn’t shake the deepening concern that Larry’s family might not grace this important event with their presence.
