As much as everyone was eager to move along with the rehearsal, Julia and Heather wanted everything to be perfect. That caused Jeff to stand next to Mr. Price at the makeshift altar for more than ten minutes while watching Jasper and Ellie with their arms linked standing at the opposite end of the imaginary red carpet without moving. Two wedding planners were going several times over every little detail related to pacing, size of steps, straightening the back, head position, etc.

After few minutes of standing, Ellie exhaled and started shifting her weight from one leg to another.
Jasper didn't miss that his walking-partner is restless. "You seem to be eager to eat the cake…", his deep voice almost startled her.
