Rick\u2019s character, a blend of irresponsibility and charm, coupled with his pampered upbringing as the sole boy in a family of six sisters, made him the darling of the household. His sisters often undermined any parental discipline, ensuring Rick always had his way.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Carmen, Rick\u2019s mother, loved her son dearly yet was under no illusions about his immaturity. She sensed that his upcoming marriage could either be a turning point or a stumble in his unsteady journey through life.\n\n\n\n</p><p>As the wedding day approached, Rick\u2019s fianc\u00e9e, Sandy, and her mother took joy in organizing the event, a task Carmen was deeply familiar with, having managed her daughters\u2019 weddings.
