Your own happiness comes first
The villagers had done what they could, but the wedding was still on. Some started taunting the two as they left. Others stayed angry and yelled nasty comments towards Marcel and Sandrine. Marcel paid no attention to them. He deserved a happy marriage with Sandrine. Hadn’t he chosen a woman that made him happy? That’s what counted.
Sandrine was shocked by the reactions. Makes sense: every woman wants to be surrounded by love on her wedding day, not heckled. The villagers had gone too far and shown that Marcel was their enemy. They wanted nothing to do with her or the wedding. But it was the most important day of their lives! Marcel decided against saying anything to the villagers. He had the woman of his dreams and was happy with her.
