Empty seats
As the guests whispered and speculated about the vacant seats, attention swiftly shifted to the back of the room. There stood Barbara, resplendent in her wedding gown, beginning her graceful descent down the aisle. Radiant and glowing, every detail of her appearance, from her hair and makeup to her gown, shoes, and bouquet, exuded perfection.
With a smile stretching from ear to ear, Barbara made her way towards Larry, who awaited her at the end of the aisle. This was the moment they had eagerly anticipated—the beginning of their journey as husband and wife. Despite the lingering uncertainty about Larry’s family, Barbara was determined to savor every precious moment of this occasion.
