Sarah looked at Mark's angry expression, suddenly realizing her major mistake.
She saw the deep disappointment shining in her fiancé's dark eyes.
Bride: Listen to me...
Mark: I have listened to you treat people poorly all morning.
Sarah: It was just an accident, I am just stressed!
Mark: Being stressed does not give you the right to be cruel.
Sarah tried to reach out to touch his expensive black lapel.
Mark stepped backward, completely avoiding her shaking manicured hand.
He looked over at his mother, who was softly crying now.
Eleanor had sacrificed everything to buy him his very first suit.
She had worked late nights so he could go to law school.
He promised himself long ago that he would always protect her.
Seeing her humiliated in front of two hundred guests broke him.
Groom: The wedding is over!
A collective gasp echoed across the vast high-ceiling venue hall.
Sarah gasped loudly, her hand instantly flying up to her mouth.
Tears started streaming down her face, ruining her perfect makeup.
Bride: You cannot be serious right now, Mark, think of the cost!
Groom: Money does not matter compared to basic human respect.
Sarah: Everyone is watching us, please do not do this to me!
Groom: You did this to yourself the moment you yelled at her.
Sarah looked around at the guests, who were all staring back.
Her mother stood up from the front row looking completely horrified.
However, nobody moved forward to defend Sarah's awful bad behavior.
Mark reached out gently and took his mother's shaking cold hand.
He wiped a tear from her cheek with his thumb very carefully.
Groom: Come on, mom, let us get out of here right now.
Mother: Mark, your big day, your future...
Groom: My future starts by doing the right thing today, mom.
He turned his back on the bride, who stood totally frozen.
The entire audience stayed silent as the two moved away slowly.
