As Emily walks down the aisle, she feels like she’s finally living her dream wedding. The dress is perfect, as is the venue, the music, and the groom. Until the moment of the vows, when Jason completely humiliates her in front of everyone. But later, he gets his just punishment.
It was the day I had been waiting for. After months of wedding planning and dieting to fit into my dream dress. This was the moment. “Happy,” I said simply. “I’ve been dreaming of this moment for years, daddy.” We walked down the aisle to some soft music I had chosen months before.
The guitarist sat on a wooden stool. I frowned, hoping he would understand that his words were neither beautiful nor romantic. But he ignored me and continued. “Besides, I’ll tolerate you singing in the shower. It might sound like a cat in distress, but at least it makes me appreciate good music!
And most of all, Emily,” he said. My stomach turned. Suddenly the bubble of my dream burst. Nothing was as it had been a few moments ago. “I’m really sorry, Emily,” Jason said next to me. “I thought I was being funny, but I see how ridiculous I was. Give me a second chance.” “Okay,” I said. “But it’s going to take more than empty words to fix things.”
