Chapter 251

The tables were decorated with a rose and yellow topiary as the center piece. The tables in the center were circular seating ten people. The chairs had white slip covers on them with bow tie at the back and fringes hanging near the four legs just below the seat leaving the legs bare. The dinnerwares were arranged beautifully in reactive bands of colors in sweet flavored hues marked in caramel swirl along the rim. The edges of embossed rims broke through the glaze to add subtle contrast to a hand-spun look and were accompanied by a cappuccino stemware ready for toasting. The tables along the corners were more of a square, seating eight people comfortably with the topiary more along the wall leaving more space for conversation.

They were more than an hour late and the place was crowded by the time they walked in. Her Nine West "Luxious" Slingback Peep-Toe Pump with her matching purse that added instant drama in its ruched metallic sling back also by Nine West complementing her olive green gown next to Pryag’s dark blue suit with golden cufflinks giving a feel as if they were a set. They looked for their name on the tables and unable to find the tags, spoke to one of the attendants and indeed they had his name on the list but didn’t have a name tag place on any of the tables. Pryag knew why, as he had mentioned that he will make is if he was doing well, so the attendant asked them to take a seat in one of the tables around the corner.

They decided to take the one next to the one at the back corner as it was empty and they didn’t really know anyone over there that seemed liked a good choice. The bride and groom were already on the stage posing for pictures. Pryag held her hand and smiled, “Look. Maybe someday it would be us standing up there. I and Jonathan knew each other from out first grade and I never thought he would be the first one to get married. They seem to make a nice couple out there and I hope couple of my old buddies show up today. She looked around to see if she recognized anyone, saw some women and men all dressed up and chit chatting, obviously none looked familiar.
