IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME UP THE STAGE.Louisa was shocked to the wits when she saw the face of the man.The expression on her face was noticeable. She was sweating vigorously as she sat donHer whole body was shaking.She looked at Grandma Anderson, who was also sweating seriously.

" So, as I said earlier on, this is my grandson Reuben Brooks.He is the heir to this throne.He was sent undercover to the streets to get some things done for the family and, of course, find a good wife for himself.I believe that by chance, a few of you have chanced upon him, mostly, people who live in this city.Now, after his thorough search and being certain of what he wanted, he found someone who matched the description.A gorgeous woman. A woman who did not love him for his money, a woman who did not love him for his fame.But someone who loved him for him.She never knew Reuben was even from this family until about an hour ago.However, she stood against my boy through thick and thin.She always believed in him and did her best to help him become better. Ladies and gentlemen, the precious woman.Let's give it up to the new wife in town, Mrs Annabelle Brooks

John said as he walked unto the stageThe guests clapped with moods of happiness and satisfaction registered on their faces.“ Right ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for giving our boss a listening earVery soon, we will bring this ceremony to an end.However, right after the ceremony ends, I'll entreat all of us to go to the dining hall and have some dinner for ourselves.However, before we move on, we would like to end the ceremony once and for all so that right after dinner, we can all leave for our various houses.
