Can't I get married ? " " The company has no humanity !

It's cold - blooded ! " " She's targeting me ! This is personal ! " She was trying to bend the rules into a story about bullying , attempting to reignite the crowd's outrage . I didn't yell back . I just spoke calmly into the microphone . " Company policy applies to all employees equally . Everyone , probationary or full - time , must follow it . " " This has nothing to do with personal feelings . " As for maliciously using public opinion to attack the company and myself , that is extremely irresponsible behavior . " " Shut up !

" Do you have any idea my parents are watching ?

My friends are watching ? " He wasn't helping me . He was defending his own dignity . Lauren , utterly shredded in front of everyone by the man she was supposed to marry , came completely unglued . She seemed to lose her mind . " You dare yell at me ?! " she screamed , her voice cracking with fury . " You spineless coward ! Your own wife is being attacked , and you side with her ?! " I " What was I even thinking ?! " " Are you even a man ?! ". As she spoke , she actually reached out and shoved the groom . SMACK ! Her palm connected sharply with his face .

The groom clutched his cheek , stunned . The hall erupted in gasps . I signaled to the security personnel below to come up and maintain order , to prevent things from escalating further . Two security guards rushed onto the stage , swiftly inserting themselves between Lauren and the groom .
