As the wedding day drew nearer, the echoes of Diana's dramatic outburst at the engagement party still reverberated through everyone's minds, casting a shadow over the approaching celebration.
Sarah, Nick's mother, was determined to divert the focus onto the upcoming banquet, hoping it would steer conversations away from the recent scandal and back to the joyous occasion at hand.
Standing on the grand terrace of the country club, Sarah surveyed the meticulously arranged venue with a sense of satisfaction.
The air was filled with the tantalizing scent of the ocean breeze, the gentle waves of the nearby beach adding a soothing backdrop to the bustling preparations within the club.
The theme of the day, an elegant fusion of serene blue and pristine white, adorned every corner, from the elaborate floral centerpieces to the delicate ribbons draping the chairs.
