Mark's POV
Mark knew how weddings worked in their social circle. They were huge extravagant things meant to showcase power and build new connections. Giving and receiving wedding invitations were things that were not taken lightly at all, and people always made sure to show up at weddings.
He had been attending such events all of his life and quite frankly, he was sick and tired of them.
But for Ryan's sake, he had been mentally preparing himself to go through yet another boring routine of listening to long-winded speeches, avoiding people that he did not wish to talk shop with and searching out those that he wanted to build business connections with. All the while smiling his fakest smile and doing his best not to get drunk and do some regrettable things.
But Ryan, good man that he was, had saved Mark. There would be no need for that.
Once again playing pool with his friend, he was pleasantly surprised by what Ryan was telling him.
