My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Irvin and Shirley walked into the church. Mission complete. I heaved a long sigh of relief before I tapped on the tablet in the car.

The church had surveillance cameras from all directions that let people watch the wedding live.

The car door opened, and Hendrix appeared on the roadside. He got in the car and sat beside me. His hand reached over my head and pulled me into his embrace. We hugged each other as we watched the wedding through the screen.

Irvin took his time with every step he made as his smile grew wider. He did not look ill at all.

The veil masked Shirley's face. She matched her pace with Irvin's. With every step she took, every sway of the dress was expressing how lovely she felt right at that moment.

The church had been renovated. The center of the hall was an altar with candle holders on it. A couplet was on each side of the altar. The writings on them were words of the uneasiness of marriages.
