I found a comfortable seat and settled myself down, since today was the day for the awaited wedding.

Yeah, I know; it’s only been a few days since this crazy idea popped up.

They were all looking beautiful and had huge makeup on their faces, to the point that I was terrified the moment they stepped in.
