The pastor had officiated many weddings, but he had never seen a couple so unwilling to get married.
Nevertheless, being an experienced person, he cleared his throat and solemnly began the ceremony.
When the pastor asked Lucas Hutt if he was willing to marry Tina Hernandez, Lucas deliberately hesitated. Just when everyone was growing impatient, he finally grinned maliciously, "Who would want to marry second-hand goods that can't stay put in their own home? I certainly don't. If any of you here are willing, then go ahead and marry her..."
There were many guests attending the wedding today.
Everyone knew this was a marriage of business alliance, but they hadn't expected the groom to insult the bride like this during the vow ceremony. No wonder they said Lucas Hutt had offended all the young ladies in West Grove. With his vile and foul mouth, which woman could take it?
As soon as Lucas spoke, it became eerily quiet.
