Edward: (nervously) Yeah, everything's fine.

Edward's Mother: (encouragingly) Yes, let's continue.

Edward: (stalling) Wait.

Minister: (pausing) Is something wrong, Edward?

Edward: 😓 I can't do this. I'm sorry, Sara. I never wanted to marry you.Because I love someone and you know it's Jessica

Edward's mother: 😡 Edward what are you doing. Edward: Sorry mom but i... (Edward go outside of the room)

(The room falls silent, with all eyes on Edward. Edward's mother storms into the marriage room, her face red with anger)

Edward's Mother: Why you leave the room and standing room edward, how dare you to embarrass me like this!

Edward: Mother, I told you I didn't want to marry Sara.

Edward's Mother: (slapping him) You ungrateful child! After everything I've done for you!

Edward: (rubbing his cheek) Mother, stop. Please.

Edward's Mother: You're throwing away our family's legacy for that... that... Jessica!

Edward: Mother, I love Jessica. Not Sara.

Edward's Mother: 😤 Marry Sara. If you will not marry to her today i will drink poison.

Edward: Okay ok I'm ready , Mother. But know this: my heart belongs to Jessica.

Edward's Mother: 😏 We'll see about that.
