Katie’s father, Fung Kwok Thai, paced back and forth in his prison cell like a nervous wreck. Though he was behind bars, he felt like a free man once again. Even though his freedom would only be for one hour. He was looking forward to it and wanted nothing more than to be able to walk his only daughter down the aisle and to give her his blessings.
“Are you ready?” One of the two prison guards came to unlock his cell. They were also the ones in charge of escorting him to and from the wedding ceremony.
“Yes, Sir!” he answered humbly.
Outside the prison gate, Katie waited for her father inside a limo. When he arrived and sat next to her, she got all emotional and tears were starting to form in her eyes.
“No, no, no,” Mr. Fung comforted his daughter and pulled out his handkerchief from the breast pocket of his new suit. “Katie, you mustn’t cry. You are going to be the prettiest bride today. So you mustn’t cry.”
