Downstairs, all the guests were seated, everyone surfing the web on their phones, waiting for today's two stars to make their entrance.
"Ha, check this out!" Someone snickered and passed their phone to a friend.
"Wow, this."
A few people gasped, covering their mouths, then exchanged glances. Their faces were a mix of expressions, all a bit awkward.
"What's going on here? It's just the engagement party, how could these pictures have popped up?"
"I have no clue."
Slowly, the large engagement party was filled with a slight buzz. Everyone was trying not to make a scene given the event, but with so many people, how could gossip be avoided?
"Look, up on the spiral staircase on the second floor, it's Lance and Keira."
"She’s dressed so beautifully today. She’s always maintained such a pure image since her debut, who would’ve thought."
"Stars, they're all about appearances. A pure image makes her more popular. But now it seems."
Everyone's eyes shifted towards the second floor, pointing at Keira and Lance. Their faces were a mix of expressions, with occasionally giggles coming from everywhere.
Keira was used to being in the spotlight, and accepting compliments. Despite feeling a bit nervous right now, under the gaze of so many people, she lifted her chin, smiled, and appeared quite composed.
The MC took the stage, after the opening remarks, naturally said, "Next, let's welcome our two newlyweds of the day, and witness their lifelong promise!"
The MC started the applause, and everyone in the room followed suit.
