Chapter 168: A shot gun wedding.
It was the second wedding that the Thorin’s were attending in which the groom had a black eye. The bride looked as unhappy as Sigrid had looked on the day of her wedding and the groom, he was not exactly smiling.
A shot gun wedding was no way for two people to get married. Even though the Thorin’s wanted the union, this was not the way they dreamed of it happening. It was the same for the Givenchy’s who never thought that they would be giving their daughter out in this way.
Lady Givenchy was crying and Sigrid did not think that they were tears of joy. Abigail’s five brothers looked almost murderous. They was they were looking at John’s neck was very unsettling.
"Let us begin." The priest said after casting a worried glance at the groom. It was not his first time joining a couple that had been caught in mischief but it was his first time joining a groom to a bride that had just beaten him.
"Did I look like that at our wedding?" Roland whispered to Sigrid.
"I don’t recall beating you up as badly as Abigail has beaten my brother."
Roland leaned his head down and whispered a question into her ears. "Does she like him because if she doesn’t, I can find an excuse to end the wedding and...."
"She likes him." Sigrid butted in with a fact that she had heard from John himself.
"And him, how does he feel about her?" he asked.
