The Senator led her by the arm as she looked resplendent, dressed in the 

pristine gown and the solitaire adorning her finger. The groom looked radiant 

bestowing wide smiles to the guests as he inwardly chuckled for getting a shot 

in the arm. He had kept his playboy image at arm’s length. The marriage of 

convenience was to bolster his stake in active politics. The Senator was 

delighted with his son-in-law as he could twist his arm and hold the reins of the 

strings of the puppet. The bride, the babe in the arms, had voted for a simple 

marriage and wished the extravaganza donated to charity. However, the two 

powerful men in her life vetoed her.
