"As long as everyone made it out alive, the couple should be happy. They’re wedded. No devil has a hand in it. It’s a fire hazard that happened. I’ve attended a wedding where the fireworks caught up the fabric decor around the stage.

"Luckily it was quickly put off. The smoke from that device choked me and caused me respiratory strain for days. I hate that stuff. I don’t know who made it compulsory for weddings these days. Very unhealthy and hazardous. Thank God for life."
