On my wedding day, my fiancé, Alex Rivers, who was supposed to pick me up at 8:30 AM, didn't show up. At 9:00 AM, he video called me and said, "Emily, I just picked up Sophie. You know she's totally against marriage, right? I'm letting her try out the whole wedding thing first." He was dressed in a groom's suit, with a silly antler headband on his head. He said, "You can leave the hotel around 10 AM. By then, Sophie will have had her fun, and we'll do the ceremony again." I gripped my phone tightly, but it felt like a lump was stuck in my chest, making it hard for me to breathe. My bestie, Chloe Lane's excited voice came through the phone. "Alex, I found the shoes. They are under Sophie's dress. "Put the shoes on Sophie. Time to go to the venue." I was stunned. Chloe was the one who went with me to pick out my wedding dress. She worked with me on the hotel decorations and even the emcee again and again. Now, she was over at Alex's side, helping them prepare things. A wave of bitterness washed over me. Tears finally began to fall, landing on my hand. Since the wedding that was meant for me had been given to someone else, I'd let her have it.
