The invited guests murmured to each other in praise of Ruby's beauty as she strolled, accompanied by one of her cousins, to the front of the altar, side by side with Mr. Benetton.
Then, the ceremony was held. Salute to the sky, salute to the eldest family. On the altar were the spirit boards of Vince's grandparents and the spirit board of Vince's mother. Meanwhile, Ruby's eldest family was represented by her eldest brother because she was also an orphan.
After that, the two saluted each other face to face, and the ceremony was over. They were legally husband and wife. Vince felt his chest tighten. But he still clapped like the other guests.
Kevin nudged Vince's arm with his elbow. "Hey, your new mommy is so pretty. Don't lure her, okay?"
Vince smiled wryly. His mind screamed, 'I've even slept with her dozens of times!'
"You took my advice, didn't you?" Kevin repeated his poke.
