Ah weddings, the happiest time in a man and woman's life.
For my cousin Daniel Robinson, this was the happiest he could ever be. But this story isn't about him. See the woman sitting at the table behind him and his wife? Yeah, that's me. My names Alyssa. Alyssa Wright. I'm in my early 20's and I'm bored out of my mind.
Yeah, love and me we don't really go together that well. I guess it's probably because I've never had a real relationship before. "Alyssa!" Suddenly someone calls out my name. I look up and see the groom himself looking down at me. Daniel may be my cousin but he's also been like a big brother to me. I grew up without any siblings, and I always spent my time at his house playing video games and thinking of new games to play. He always stood up for me and protected me like the big brother I never had.
"Oh Daniel! Congrats!" I said flashing him a small smile.
"Thanks, ah...the day has finally come" he said with the biggest smile imaginable on his face.
"I'm so happy for you Daniel! You married the girl of your dreams!" I exclaimed, trying to keep the undertone of complete boredom out of my voice.
"Thank you" he said while taking the empty seat next to me. "Are you okay?" He asks, looking me over with concern.
That's Daniel for you. Just by looking at your face he can tell straight away something's up. But I didn't feel like talking about my love life, not now. At least not while he's so happy.
"I'm fine, I think I might just need some fresh air" I tell him as I get up from my seat.
"Okay, but come find me when your ready to talk" he says following suit and standing up. I smile and nod as I walk out the hall and through the bar area.
