Making yourself look bigger and making yourself smaller are not the same 
problem.  Nor is glamour the same as shape-shifting.  I don't see how this 
is going to be key to determining whether someone had supplanted Reis.

You do it as much as anyone (including me) when attempting to explain a 
discrepancy...in other words, when it suits you. But let's give jumping to 
conclusions its due. It's better than ad hominem responses.

Yes. He SAID he wanted Rian there. He SAID he wanted his life-long best 
friend there. But this man with all his money and power couldn't arrange to 
have the ceremony when and where those close to him could attend?

But they weren't going to have one were they?

Yes. HER friends and hundreds of islanders.
Even with page number references, this is averting my point. I have never 
said there is a problem with CASSIE'S behavior regarding the wedding. MY 
goal is not to out-maneuver a debate-opponent. I'm merely pointing out 
things that seemed off to me about the end. Some of which you have pointed 
out yourself as I said in my last response.
