**Annulled Marriage** The wedding looks lovely already: fresh scented flowers, elegant decorations, happy guests quietly chatting while waiting for the groom and the bride... Everything looks perfect. The hour slowly grows late and the bride comes in, looking nervous but oh, so beautiful in her dress as she goes waiting beside the Priest. The groom is nowhere to be seen yet. Everyone feels nervous at the situation, hoping nothing bad happened, but then the bride receives a call from Edward, the missing groom: "I'm sorry, I can't get married yet... I still have so much to see and experience, I'm at the airport now... Yes... I'll take some time away to think things through, and travel, I'm sorry but... This is for the best." The lovely bride looks at the phone in her hands feeling lost and hurt, looking around her at the guests and the lovely wedding venue, announcing that the wedding won't be done, when suddenly someone stands up, a tall elegant man, and goes to her as the guests watch silently.
