Mark walked over to Ellen and helped her stand up from the small chair.
He held her arm gently as they stepped out into the sunlit hallway together.
Sarah stood in front of the stairs, blocking the way down with her spread lace dress.
Sarah: You cannot go downstairs looking like this, Mark!
Sarah: My entire family is sitting in the backyard waiting for us!
Mark: Get out of my way right now, Sarah.
Sarah: Mark, please think about our reputation in this city!
Mark: You should have thought about reputation before committing mortgage fraud.
Sarah: If you call off this wedding, I will lose everything!
Mark: You already lost everything the moment you lied to me.
Mark pushed past Sarah firmly and guided Ellen down the broad wooden stairs.
Sarah ran right behind them, crying loudly and grabbing at her white veil.
They walked through the grand living room toward the clear glass back patio doors.
Outside, rows of white chairs were filled with dressed-up guests under the bright sun.
Flowers decorated the altar, and a string quartet was preparing to play music.
Mark opened the glass door and walked out onto the green lawn with Ellen.
The crowd went completely silent as they noticed Mark's blue suit and serious face.
Sarah's brother, Jason, was standing near the front row wearing a sharp black tuxedo.
Jason walked up to Mark with a quick, nervous smile on his face.
Jason: Hey Mark, man, what is going on here right now?
Jason: Is the ceremony starting early or something?
Mark: No, Jason, the ceremony is never happening.
The guests gasped loudly, and several people stood up from their wooden chairs.
Sarah's mother pushed through the crowd, looking panicked and furious.
Sarah's Mother: Mark, what is the meaning of this childish drama?
Mark: Your daughter and son stole four hundred thousand dollars from my estate.
Jason: That is a serious false accusation, Mark!
Mark: Ellen has the signed bank records right here in her hand, Jason.
Mark took the papers from Ellen and held them up high for everyone to see.
Mark: The Dallas police department is already on their way to this house.
