Jared was so angry it felt like he was about to explode. He couldn't stop staring at Granny Patricia, surrounded by HIS guests at HIS wedding celebration. How dare she show up here and steal his and Linda's spotlight?
"Why didn't you stay home as I told you to? I knew you would ruin my day," Jared said.
A collective gasp from the guests brought Jared out of his rage. When he turned, everyone was looking at him.
The MC cleared his throat into the microphone. "Er...it seems like a good time for the speeches! Instead of the usual way of doing things, Jared and Linda invite everyone who wishes to bless them on their wedding day to step forward and share their good wishes. Please step forward if you have something to say."
"I have something to say." Patricia patted little Karen's hand, which was still resting on her arm. "Won't you help me to the stage, dear?"
"I don't want you speaking at my wedding," Jared said from somewhere nearby.
Patricia ignored him. She'd held her tongue for long enough.
