The music
began. A vision in white, she glided
towards him. His stomach churned as he
glanced at Valerie waiting stoically across the aisle, staring at her bouquet.
It was then he knew.
“I can’t marry you. Not when I love Valerie.”
Mortified and enraged, Debbie slapped him hard, kneed his nuts, and ran away.

Damn...too bad the realization dawned on him at the wedding day!! Great one Kathy!
ReplyDeleteAditi, and in front of everyone to boot. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteOh! Such a late realization!! But better late than never!!
ReplyDeleteShilpa, yes better to have one awful day in life than a whole future because your husband loves someone else. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteI loved her reaction. Why couldn't he be a man and tell earlier ... loved the story. :)
ReplyDeleteRajlakshmi, no guts I guess. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments. I am so pleased you enjoyed my story.
DeleteI like those late realizations :) People know it always but it is only at the end moment that they gather courage to speak out. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteShine, I am so happy you liked my story! Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteYIKES! Well at least he spoke up even if it was a bit late. I'd've kneed him in the nuts too! lol
ReplyDeleteJoJo, I know, right? The asshole certainly deserved it. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeletehHe could have told her sooner, not at the last minute :) But good he realized it before it was too late.
ReplyDeletesulekkha, very good he realized it before he married her but bad that he told her in front of a church full of everyone they knew. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteI cannot even imagine the awful feeling of hearing that on my wedding day.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I didn't recieve the acceptable copy of his divorce papers in time for our wedding. I was so sick but our priest said everything will go on as planned, we will do the paperwork later. No one knew but us.

DeleteVery well written in 55 Words. In a way, he is right how can one be together if they don't love each other. I feel sad for her and hope she finds love some day.
ReplyDeletevishalbheeroo, better to stop the wedding than go through it and be miserable. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments. I am so pleased you liked my story.
