The Wrong Woman

"They might play Truth or Dare, or play a game of passing the floral wreath... Wow, I'm really excited. It's making me not even want to watch the bride and groom interact. I just want to skip ahead to the best man's part."

She wasn't very familiar with the Norvanian's customs. She believed registering for marriage had already made it a formal marital relationship.

Little did she know, registering for marriage was just like getting engaged, providing a guarantee that neither party would easily back out.

In everyone's view, the best man and maid of honor must be single. They were expected to participate in many flirtatious interactive games to liven up the wedding atmosphere.
