While the guests were being ushered to their seats, Sam Bartadamen, the officiant, walked solemnly down the aisle in ceremonial bishop's robes.

He felt a mixture of emotions as he walked toward the stage.
Some guests actively greeted him as he passed by their seats. Although he had already retired as a bishop, he still held some authority in the church.

"You are looking younger today, Reverend!"
To these enthusiastic praises, Sam chuckled.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the crowd quieted down to give him some respect.
The former bishop cleared his throat and looked at the gathered crowd.
