    The two were betrothed and had arranged to take wedding photos, but neither of them showed up. The final photos were photoshopped, and the bride was very laid-back about it. During their time together, the groom developed feelings for her [eating melon emoji], and the bride was the groom's ideal woman [sending a heart emoji] hahaha. Both the main and side storylines are great! Highly recommended! [Licking screen emoji]
