The news of Hiram and Hermione canceling their wedding had left Veronica and Archie outraged and heartbroken. Their dream wedding in Paris seemed to be slipping away from their grasp due to the meddling of Veronica's parents. As they sat in their apartment, reeling from the shock, the apartment phone rang, breaking the silence. Veronica picked it up, revealing the caller to be Alice Cooper.
"Alice?" Veronica's voice trembled as she answered.
"Veronica, I just heard from Hiram and Hermione. They canceled your wedding! I am so pissed at them!" Alice's voice was filled with anger and frustration.
Veronica felt tears welling up in her eyes again. She turned to Archie, her voice breaking. "I need a space to cry," she whispered, passing the phone to him before retreating to their bedroom.
Archie took a deep breath and spoke to Alice. "Alice, we're furious about this. How could they cancel our wedding without even consulting us?"
Alice's voice softened with sympathy. "I know, Archie. It's absolutely outrageous. I'm siding with you and Veronica on this. You two deserve to have the wedding you've planned."
Archie felt a glimmer of hope. "How do we celebrate our wedding without Veronica's parents, though?"
Alice thought for a moment. "That's a good question. You should go ahead with your plans and celebrate your wedding in Paris without them. Don't let them take this away from you."
Archie nodded, his resolve strengthening. "You're right, Alice. Thank you for your support."
After hanging up the phone, Archie made his way to their bedroom. He found Veronica sitting on the bed, tears streaming down her face, a glass of champagne in her hand. He sat down beside her, wrapping his arms around her.
"Veronica, we're not going to let them ruin this for us. Alice is on our side. She said we should go ahead and celebrate our wedding in Paris without them."
Veronica sniffled, leaning into his embrace. "I already sent out the invitations. It's too late to cancel the wedding. But Hiram and Hermione don't believe us. They're so controlling."
Archie kissed her forehead. "Then let's show them that we mean business. What if we expose what they did on social media? Make it clear to everyone what they're trying to do."
Veronica's eyes lit up with an idea. "You're right. They can't just get away with this. I'm going to post about it on Instagram."
With a renewed sense of determination, Veronica grabbed her phone and opened Instagram. She began typing a heartfelt post, exposing Hiram and Hermione's actions and their attempt to cancel the wedding. She included how much effort they had put into planning the wedding, the joy they felt about celebrating their love in Paris, and the heartbreak caused by her parents' interference.
As she hit the post button, Veronica looked at Archie with a fierce determination in her eyes. "This is our wedding, Archie. We're not letting anyone take that away from us."
Archie smiled, holding her close. "Absolutely. We're going to have the wedding of our dreams, no matter what."
The support from their friends and loved ones began pouring in as soon as Veronica's post went live. Comments of encouragement and outrage at Hiram and Hermione's actions flooded in, bolstering their spirits.
