“I knew I would get you on my arm one day,” Brent whispered as they smiled brightly at the clapping wedding guests.
Candace kept the smile planted on her face, but gritted out between clenched teeth. “In your dreams, playboy. This is a requirement.”
As soon as they were on the other side of the double doors, Candace dropped his arm and took several steps away from him.
Brent pressed a hand to his chest in mock pain. “You wound me.”
She only rolled her eyes and began walking toward the event room they had rented out. “We need to get to the reception.”
He fell into step beside her. “Slow down, Speedy Gonzales. What’s the rush?”
She rolled her eyes again. By the end of the evening, she wouldn’t be surprised if she sprained her eyes by how much she expected to be rolling them.
“You know we have to beat the bride and groom there. As maid of honor and best man, it’s our duty to be there before they arrive, so we can announce their arrival.”
“Isn’t that the DJ’s job?”
Candace stopped abruptly, and Brent had to backtrack several steps to stand beside her again.
“Brent, did you not listen to anything I told you yesterday?”
“Well, I don’t know,Candace. You were talkingatme about five hundred different things. It’s a little hard to keep track of it all.”
She refrained from rolling her eyes. “The DJ didn’t make it up the mountain. We are in charge of music and announcing everything.”
“We are in charge of music?”
The weight of the wedding pressed on her shoulders, and she pressed the palms of her hands into her eyes before she realized she was smudging her makeup.
“I guess I’m glad I didn’t ask you to create a playlist last night,” she muttered as she picked up her pace.
She entered the reception hall, which was beautifully decorated with glittering snowflakes and white flowers, bringing out the winter theme Jessica had wanted. White tablecloths covered the round tables, which had been significantly reduced as there were very few guests in attendance. A small vase of white roses, tipped with blue glitter, sat in the middle.
The Wintervale Resort had gone all out for this event, and she couldn’t have been more thankful to the amazing staff for accommodating the last-minute changes.
