The wedding took place in a small church, with only important guests and relatives invited. Adorned with flowers and soft hues, the intimate setting provided a beautiful backdrop for Lisa and Jennie's union. As the priest, a kindly figure with a warm smile, commenced the ceremony, the air carried a tension.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Lisa and Jennie in holy matrimony. If there is anyone who objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Jennie's nerves were evident as she exchanged glances with Lisa. In the midst of the ceremony, Lisa's disinterest lingered, her gaze wandering while Jennie's anxiety heightened.
"Lisa, do you take Jennie to be your lawfully wedded wife, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health?" the priest inquired, his eyes reflecting a hint of concern.
"Yes," Lisa replied coldly, causing Jennie's heart to sink, her fingers fidgeting with the bouquet in her hands.
"Jennie, do you take Lisa to be your lawfully wedded wife, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health?" The priest's warm smile remained.
"I... I do," Jennie hesitated, stealing a quick glance at Lisa, who remained unemotionally detached.
"I really hope Rosé is the one I'm marrying today," Lisa said internally, her thoughts a mixture of sadness and longing.
The priest, seemingly oblivious to the underlying tension, moved to the anticipated moment.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Lisa turned towards Jennie, her expression unchanging, and delivered a perfunctory kiss on Jennie's cheek. The room held a collective breath, the awkwardness is evident as Jennie's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mrs. and Mrs. Manoban," the priest joyfully announced, maintaining a warm smile that now held a touch of genuine happiness.
Polite applause filled the church, but the atmosphere between the newlyweds remained strained. As they made their way down the aisle, Jennie couldn't help stealing glances at Lisa, who remained impassive.
"Congratulations! What a beautiful ceremony!" a guest exclaimed.
Jennie, attempting a warm smile, responded, "Thank you so much."
Lisa, glancing around uninterested, received well-wishes from her relatives. Lisa's grandma approached, her eyes brimming with joy.
"Lisa, my dear, you've made me so proud!" Grandma exclaimed.
Lisa gave her a fake smile, saying "This is what you want."
Jennie's parents joined in the congratulations, eager to express their happiness.
"Jennie, you look radiant! We're thrilled to welcome Lisa into our family," Jennie's mom and dad said with enthusiasm.
Jennie, beaming, responded, "Thank you mom, thank you dad!"
Jennie POV
The reception unfolded with a mix of congratulations and well-wishing. Despite the warm wishes from our families and guests, Lisa's cold demeanor created a tension. I tried to mask my anxiety, exploring the social interactions with forced smiles. As I stole occasional glances at Lisa, I couldn't shake the feeling of disconnection.
"Lisa, Jennie, let's have a toast to the newlyweds!" a relative proposed.
I raised my glass with more enthusiasm than Lisa, forcing a smile, and said, "Yes, a toast!"
