The Wedding He Stole From Me

The holiday weekend. I stood in my wedding gown, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

The door opened. Godfrey Delgado wheeled himself in.

I smiled and started toward him, but a single raised hand stopped me where I stood.

“There's something I need to tell you.”

I was still wrapped in the joy of almost being his wife. He kept talking.

“I can go through with the wedding, but I can't make it legal.”

My smile froze.

“Wh……what do you mean?”

He was quiet for a long time.

“Your best friend and I got our marriage license on Valentine's Day. I'm in love with her.”
