To the Love of My Life

Chapter 862: Chapter 862 Ruby Time: The Wedding (Finale 32)_1

So much so that in the end, there was a long line of vehicles outside the gates of Red Park Resort & Villas.

Dozens of sightseeing cars brought guests up the mountain, one after another.

By eleven o’clock in the afternoon, almost all the guests had arrived.

Ruby Gregory, the bride, had yet to make an appearance, leaving the groom Steve Burton and his groomsmen, Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, and Howard Coleman, to welcome the guests at the wedding venue.

Madam Burton had already arranged the seating based on the family network in advance, so guests simply had to present their invitation to be led to their tables by servers dressed in festive red with smiling faces.

At the wedding scene, despite the comings and goings of many people, there was not the slightest hint of chaos; everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

...

Although The Burtons and The Gregorys both advocated for a wedding reception with close family and friends, Pristine’s Enterprises backed a large number of well-wishers in the capital city, many of whom would not miss the opportunity to curry favor. Today being Steve’s wedding, naturally, many uninvited guests also came to offer their congratulations.

Since it was a celebration for all under the heavens, it seemed uncouth to turn away those bringing gifts, so Madam Burton deliberately left fifty tables without name tags reserved when arranging the banquet.

Edric Reat had previously told Ruby Gregory at their farewell to single life party that he might not be able to attend her wedding. He indeed had no plans to do so, even booking his flight to Costa Luna for one o’clock in the afternoon on the day of Steve and Ruby’s wedding.

As Edric Reat packed his luggage and drove to the airport, he hesitated for a moment, then turned his steering wheel, deciding to drive to Red Park Resort & Villas.

Perhaps fate itself looked favorably upon Steve and Ruby on this special day, for the weather was exceptionally good. Despite the blazing summer season, when the sunlight could be scorching, the temperature was pleasantly moderate today. Arriving at the picturesque Red Park Resort & Villas with clear skies and bright sunshine, a refreshing breeze added a touch of crispness to the air.

As Edric sat on the sightseeing car to the mountain’s peak, he was irritated by the red lanterns festooned throughout the venue and the standees, placed every hundred meters along the road, displaying wedding photos of Steve and Ruby.

Upon reaching the top of the mountain and stepping into the entrance of the wedding venue, Edric immediately noticed the registration area. Two people were ahead of him in line, first handing over red envelopes, then receiving red gift envelopes in return, followed by being led away by the beautiful servers.

After waiting for about two minutes, it was Edric’s turn. He took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance, and when asked for his name, he received a gift envelope with a smile from the staff despite not having an invitation. The staff then nodded to a server standing by.

The server gestured to Edric, “Sir, please follow me.”

Edric stood still, taking one more glance at the wedding scene, with its radiant diamonds and crystals, the transparent glass corridor underneath the kaleidoscope of lights, the elegantly dressed guests, the fresh lilies, the colorful assortment of alcohol… And the constant wedding march playing in the background.

Such a scene seemed like a lavish dream set from a Hollywood movie.
