Jennifer couldn’t hold back her feelings . She almost broke everything in sight , like smashing stuff would somehow make her feel better .
She had everything planned perfectly , even used her pregnancy as a reason when everyone saw Michael . This was supposed to be a beautiful wedding .
but Gordon ruined it all .
Donald saw she was about to lose it and quickly pulled her away . The guests looked at each other and started whispering . Backstage , Donald kept trying to calm Jennifer down , hoping she’d fix her dress and go out .
“ No one’s going to care about what just happened . They’ll just think Gordon’s crazy , ” he said . But Jennifer refused to go out . Even if she fixed her dress , people would just laugh at her .
Donald had no choice but to leave alone . As soon as he left , Jennifer swept everything off the table .
Evelyn came over to try and talk some sense into Jennifer . “ What’s done is done . The most important thing now is to calm the guests and keep the wedding going . ”
Teresa spoke , “ You can still fix this if you go out now . ”
Jennifer shot Teresa a glare . “ You brought Mike here just to watch me fall apart , didn’t you ? Now the wedding is a mess , and I look so pathetic . Are you happy now ? ”
Teresa’s temper flared . “ You think your nephew ruined your wedding ? I brought him for the food and made sure he stayed out of your way . Your husband asked me to sing for you , and I shouldn’t have said yes ! ”
“ I never begged you to sing . Just get out . ”
“ Honestly , you don’t appreciate anything , do you ? If it weren’t to save your face , I wouldn’t even bother showing up . Everyone’s already going out of their way for you . What more do you want ? ”
“ Enough , both of you ,” Evelyn said , stopping their fight .
Teresa left without another word . She wanted nothing to do with this mess . Outside , the guests were still waiting for the bride . The ceremony was only halfway done , the vows hadn’t even been said , and the bride was hiding backstage .
Cathy and Werner urged Donald to go get Jennifer . “ What’s done is done ,” they said . “ The most important thing now is to fix it , not just hide . ”
But Donald thought about Jennifer’s temper and that she had just told him she was pregnant . He didn’t want to make things harder for her .
So Donald said , “ Sorry , everyone . The bride isn’t feeling well , so we have to end the wedding here today . ”
Everyone was shocked . The Lynn family members , Jennifer and Donald’s friends , coworkers , and classmates – so many people were there , watching this disaster happen .
After Donald apologized , he stepped down from the stage , leaving Cathy and Werner to see everyone out .
Jennifer sat quietly in the room . She just couldn’t accept it – her wedding , the one she planned so carefully , was ruined forever .
Nothing was going right for her lately . She almost lost her job because of a medical problem , and even her wedding was a total mess .
With a loud crash , another glass broke on the floor – her way of letting out her anger . The sound made Sanford jump . He pressed his lips together and
walked over .
Jennifer shot . Sanford a cold look . “ Did you come to see me fall apart too ? ”
Sanford let out a helpless sigh . The guests have all left . Don’t beat yourself up . No one’s going to keep talking about it . ”

Jennifer let out a bitter laugh . “ Everyone’s going to talk about me and laugh at me . I’m the joke now . ”
Sanford said , “ Why do you care so much about what other people think ? ”

“ You don’t get it . ” Jennifer shook her head , still holding her forehead . Sanford understood her all too well . They had been in college together – he knew how much of a perfectionist Jennifer was .
If anyone pointed out even a tiny mistake in her thesis , she’d obsessively fix it over and over , like she just couldn’t accept making mistakes . Or maybe , she just couldn’t accept being anything less than perfect .
Sanford wanted to comfort her , but seeing her still in that wedding dress , the hand he raised to pat her shoulder dropped back down . In the end , he just walked away .
By the time Jennifer snapped out of it , she saw a cup of lemon water sitting on the table .
Donald came back in . He froze for a moment when he saw the mess on the floor . He stepped around it and pulled her into his arms . “ I’m sorry . This is all my fault . ”
“ It’s not your fault . I know , ” Jennifer said , resting her head on Donald’s shoulder .
Donald let out a sigh . “ Let’s just call it a day and go home , okay ? ”
“ Call it a day ? ” Jennifer shot back , her voice cold . “ Your family is nothing but trouble . Irene ruined my wedding . I’m not letting this go . ”
Donald said , “ My parents have already gone to the hospital . I promise , they’ll handle this . ”
After Gordon was taken to the hospital , they gave him a sedative , and he finally fell asleep .
Jonathan stood by the bed , looking at Gordon , and turned to Irene . “ Why did you bring Grandpa to Donald’s wedding ? ”
“ Ask Heidi . She was the one who brought him , ” Irene snapped .
Heidi said , “ Your grandpa wanted to see Irene , but she said she couldn’t leave the wedding . She told me to bring him so he could have a nice meal there . How is this my fault ? ”
Irene explained to Jonathan , “ I was worried Hayden would be upset if I wasn’t there for the photos , so I thought I’d just bring him . The doctor said he’s
been more stable lately , so I thought it would be okay . ”
No one would have guessed that Gordon , who usually seemed fine , would suddenly lose it when he saw Jennifer on stage . He lunged at her , grabbed her
wrist , and started shouting that the bracelet was Fiona’s .
For his age , he moved surprisingly fast . By the time Irene and Heidi reacted , Gordon had already yanked the bracelet off Jennifer’s wrist and held it tight .
Knocked out by the sedative , Gordon was still gripping that green bracelet , refusing to let go .
Jonathan’s eyes darkened . “ So , what’s the story behind this bracelet ? ”
