Edward felt a pang of frustration and disappointment, realizing that his parents had different expectations for his wedding day. He turned to Annabelle, silently apologizing for not discussing this matter with her beforehand.
Annabelle's mind raced as she tried to process the situation. It seemed that the simple court wedding plan they had initially agreed upon was now turning into something completely different. She couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the sudden change in circumstances.
Taking a deep breath, Annabelle spoke up, her voice filled with determination. "I understand the importance of this day, and I respect your wishes, Mr. Quin. However, I believe it's essential for Edward and me to have a say in the matter as well. We need some time to discuss this amongst ourselves and come up with a solution that satisfies both parties."
