When Quentin Thorne mentioned this, Lawyer Caldwell immediately agreed: "My daughter met a decent boy before, and they were compatible in many ways, but the guy insisted on having the wedding back in his hometown at the start. My daughter learned she wouldn't get to wear a wedding dress at her own wedding, saying it would be a lifelong regret. We all advised her that as long as the guy was nice, wearing a wedding dress wasn't that important... But what did the kid say? He wouldn't even give me the wedding I wanted, so how could he be considered nice?"
Quentin Thorne quickly asked, "So what happened in the end? Did they get married?"
Lawyer Caldwell laughed: "Old Thornton, you know my daughter is still single. Would she be single if it had worked out?"
It didn't seem like he regretted his daughter losing a match due to the wedding, but rather there was a hint of approval.
Simon Forrester understood what these two old-timers, who added up over a hundred years, meant.
