The Way We Were
The wedding had reached the part where we were supposed to exchange rings, but my fiance wouldn’t say those two simple words: "I do."
It was because his past love had just announced her breakup an hour ago.
The post on social media included a picture of a plane ticket, the landing time just one hour away.
My brother suddenly stepped forward and announced to everyone that the wedding would be delayed.
Without a word, they both left me standing there, turning me into a laughingstock.
I calmly dealt with everything, glancing at the new social media post from his past love.
In the photo, my brother and fiance were standing around her, offering her the best of everything.
I laughed bitterly and dialed my parents' number. "Dad, Mom, I'm willing to come home and marry into the Sanford family."
