Take My Breath Away

The first question was so easy it felt like a piece of cake! Sheffield quickly answered, "Evelyn's favorite snack is preserved plums, her favorite fruit is mango, and among desserts, she loves Tiramisu the most. Is my answer good enough? If not, I can continue."

Just a simple response with the answer "preserved plums" would have been enough for the bridesmaids, who didn't expect him to list out so many things.

Libby raised her hand and nodded. "That's enough. Next question, please recite the bride's phone number backwards."

Sheffield was gifted with sharp memory and as such, he was able to recite Evelyn's number backwards ever since she gave him her number. He knew he was going to glide through these questions with ease. Under everyone's baffled gaze, he answered the question easily, and added, "This is no fun. Can you please ask some harder questions?"

Joshua couldn't help but ask, "Dude, did you take a peep at the questions in advance?"

One of the bridesmaids explained, "I'm certain that he didn't. We came up with these questions just this morning. Since the groom came with you, there is no way he could have known these questions earlier."

"All right, I'll take your word for it!" Joshua said. Then he turned to face Sheffield, giving him a thumbs up, and said, "Nicely done, man!"

The bridesmaids continued with their interrogation. "Next question: what's the size of the bride's shoes?"

"36."

"What are the ten nicknames of the bride?"

"Eve, Evelyn, darling, Piggy, honey, my queen..." The room broke into a smattering of laughter, not to mention the bridesmaids who all guffawed loudly.

"The last question. What's the total sum of the bride's ID card number?"

"That's too hard! How can anyone expect him to know that?" the best men exclaimed in unison.

"I bet Sheffield doesn't know the answer!"

"Gifford, you're the strongest among us three. Go pick one of the bridesmaids and carry her on your back around the room three times."

Everyone was ready to make fun of Sheffield, yet in less than two seconds, he gave the correct answer with a mysterious smile at Evelyn. "76," he said.

Two years ago, he found out what Evelyn's ID card number was when they had planned to go to France. While he was waiting for her at the airport, out of sheer boredom, he had written his and Evelyn's names down on a piece of paper.

Then, he added up the numbers of their ID cards respectively. In the end, after doing the math, Sheff

streaked across his lips. There were times when both men almost kissed in the middle, sending the audience wailing with excitement.

In the end, Sheffield's lips looked like fat sausages and there was even a shade of red under his nose.

Sheffield pushed Gifford away furiously and said, "Find a woman to practice your skills on as soon as you go back home."

Then, instead of whining, Sheffield lay prostrate with his groomsmen in a row to commence with the punishment.

Fortunately, the groomsmen were regulars at the gym and as such, 20 push-ups felt almost effortless to them.

The bridesmaids kept their word and helped Sheffield clean up before they played two more games. After a long dreaded wait, the groom finally approached the bride.

He took the bouquet of flowers from Joshua and affectionately said, "Evelyn, I'm here to take your hand in marriage."

The emcee of the ceremonies remarked, "Don't just talk. Just kneel down and hand over the flowers to the bride."

Thud! Sheffield immediately knelt down on the carpet beside the bed.

Almost in response, an explosion of laughter shook the room, because Sheffield had gone on both knees.

The emcee reminded the groom helplessly, "Hey, Mr. Tang, you're only supposed to get down on one knee!"

Sheffield feigned laughter and said, "I'm sorry. I was just excited to see my wife."

Evelyn was so moved by his words that she almost failed to hold back her tears. This man was getting increasingly adorable.

He handed her the bouquet and cleared his throat before saying, "Evelyn Huo, you are the only woman I wish to spend the rest of my life with. Please, marry me."
