It was supposed to be the best day of my life, today would be flawless. I had no idea how much pandemonium was in store.The ceremony proceeded without any problems. I felt like a princess in my outfit, and Finn looked amazing in his tux. We exchanged vows, planted a kiss, and were instantly wed. Together, we sliced the cake at the reception, sharing tiny morsels and giggling as we got frosting all over our faces. It was all so wonderful, almost like a dream come true.Up until our videographer, Mike, gave me a quick smack on the shoulder.
With an unusually serious attitude, he said, “Hey Nora, can I talk to you for a sec?” I gave him a nod and trailed after him to a secluded area of the lobby. “What’s up?”Mike stirred his camera around. “There’s something you need to see.” He pivoted the camera so that I could see the tiny screen on the back. My jaw fell as I watched. < Gerald, my new father-in-law, was there, discreetly approaching the gift table. He was as obvious as day. With a furtive glance around, he picked up a box and hurried out of the room. “Is he stealing our presents?” I let out a gasp. Mike gave a shrug. “I’m at a loss for ideas. I thought you ought to view it.” With my head spinning, I thanked Mike. What on earth was happening? Gerald would take from us, but why?
