Lucy’s kind words
“Mark, you mean everything to us, and we don’t care what other people think; you are truly our friend, and we are honored to have you at our wedding.”
I’m sure once people get to know you, everyone will love you; all you have to do is be yourself!”

Mark cooled down and realized Lucy was correct. With his problems, he had almost wrecked her big day. He wanted his surprise to be big this time. He gathered himself and walked boldly back to his seat, holding his head high and staring straight ahead.
