Wedding Dress

I couldn't tell Adam how I had chosen Hunter over him so I find the one thing that I could do. The one thing I had control over, my wedding. I may be making the wrong choice, but that's what life is about. Making wrong choices and trying to fix them is what life is all about. Love was for sappy movies that women watch after being rejected, but not I. I shall take the rejection as a sign that I belong with Adam. Hunter was right, Adam and I were a perfect fit and he was just a piece that didn't belong in the puzzle. I looked at myself in the mirror and looked down at the beautiful wedding dress. It was the perfect dress for a day that I was supposed to remember forever. "Emma are you sure that this is what you want?" Helen asked.

"Why do ask? This dress is perfect." I said.

"Not about the dress, but about the wedding?" She asked.

"Hunter was right I belong with Adam. What I felt for him was a lie. Before he came I didn't do love or sappy love things and now I why. Love is something made to break people's hearts." I said fixing the veil on my face. "That's not true. I love Jack." She said.

"Maybe it comes around for every few people," I said.

"And if you find you grasp it." She said.

"I am grasping it. I'm just grasping it with Adam." I said.

"Tell me, Emma. Does he make you happy like Hunter did?" She asked.

"He makes me happy enough,"  I said.

"Love isn't meant to cheat or doubted. It'll come back to you and then you'll realize your mistake." She said.

"The only mistake was believing that Hunter loved me too. It was nothing, but lust and I feel so stupid that I actually believed it." I said tears pricking my eyes. I quickly whipped them away not looking my aunt in the face, but staring at her as she watched my reflection. "You are much too beautiful to let yourself sink this far down." She said. I finally looked her in the eye and she saw everything I was feeling. Guilt, pain, regret, and most of fear. Fear that I was making a mistake and fear that what I felt for Hunter was real and not something that I just thought I felt. I was terrified to see how this would end, but then again love is always a mystery and you never experience love unless you've experienced heartbreak and heartache. "What if I'm making a mistake?" I asked.

"Then it's not too late to fix it before its permanent." She said. She was right though I could fix this if I wanted to, but the truth was that I didn't want to fix this. I didn't want to deal with the heartache of losing someone that I loved. I wanted to be with someone who loved me as was willing to take the risk and that was Adam, not Hunter. "I know what I'm going to do," I said. Helen smiled at me as if thinking that I wasn't going to go through with this wedding, but indeed I was. "I'm marrying Adam because I want to be loved by someone who loves me and who's willing to take a risk with me and that's Adam," I said.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Positive," I said.

"Then I have your back 100% whether you choose to change your mind or not." She said and I nodded glad that she had trusted my choice and she was supporting me through it.
