WEDDING CLASH

“OH! There she is!”

Ann: (closing her eyes) crap..

Mrs. Reid: ann! Ann! (runs towards ann) everyone! It’s ann! (points at ann) she’s ann!

Mrs. Reid hugged ann tightly and faced her..

Mrs. Reid: darling! I missed you!

She looked behind ann and frowned..

Mrs. Reid: where’s james?

Ann: (chuckles nervously) uh.. uhmm.. we.. uh.. we parted ways.. I wanted to surprise him that’s why I prepared myself..

Mrs. Reid: (pouts) is that so?

A girl in polka dots dress went closer to them..

Girl: mom, I think we need to (looks at ann) omo..

Mrs.reid: (laughs) I know! She’s stunning!

Girl: is she..

Mrs. Reid: YES! She’s ann! James’ fiancée!

Girl: omo..omo (grins) HI! I’m lauren! James’ worst nightmare!

Ann: (chuckles shyly) hello.. i.. I’m ann li..

Mrs. Reid hurried to the stage and tapped the microphone..

Mrs. Reid: ladies and gentlemen! Please listen up!

The crowd seemed to ignore her then she suddenly shouted.

Mrs. Reid: HEY! (sighs) that’s better (smiles) I would like to introduce to you (chuckles) oh my gosh! It gives me goosebumps! (teary-eyed) my future daughter-in-law!

Applause surrounded the place and cheers were thrown. The spotlight hit ann’s face and she immediately raised her hand to cover it.

Mrs.reid: come darling! Tell us about your experience with james! (smiles)

Ann: oh gosh.. (points at herself) me? (points at the stage) (whispers) there? Oh no.. no..no..no! there’s no way I’m gonna climb up that stage and speak.. no.. please.. don’t do this to be.. you’ve got to be kidding me..no.. you can’t make me come up there..please T^T

Ann: (breathes hard) uh.. good evening everyone..I.. I am ann li.. James’ fiancée..

Loud noise echoed and the cheers seemed to grow louder. After many seconds, the cheers died down..

Ann: (chuckles nervously) uh.. the first time I saw james, I already said that ”I want to marry him” .. I don’t know why but I think love at first sight is really true! (smiles) I think it’s cupid’s stupidity! I think he hit me with 20 arrows! The moment I heard that we’re getting married, I feel like I’m the luckiest person in the world!

Ann’s POV:

Weird.. why do I feel like crying? I can’t help but to remember all the things about our fate..

Ann: (sniffs) I just… I just love him..you know that feeling? Even if sometimes he rejects me, I can still say that I’m happy with him.. he treats me so nice and he always find ways to make me feel special.

I lied. I know it’s not good but I don’t want them to be angry at James.

Ann: I just.. (sniffs) I just love him. He is so special to me that I’m willing to sacrifice everything for him to be happy (teary-eyed) I know that it’s a fixed-marriage but I don’t care! As long as he’s with me (fans her eyes with her hand) oh my! Can I have a tissue please? (chuckles) sorry.. I just can’t help it.. I love her so much.. so much that my heart would drop whenever I see him! His smiles are my ticket to heaven (sniffs) his laughs are my subway to the sky (sobs) oh gosh! Sorry (smiles) I really can’t help it.. (sniffs) he is really a great man and I cn’t wait to be Mrs. Ann Reid (chuckles) I wanted to say in front of you how much I love your James—our James.. I will treasure him and be with him always—I will stay by his side and give him all the love (sniffs) I hope that you can accept—
