"Duke, do you take Rose to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do." He nods, smiling at her.
"Rose, do you take Duke to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I.."
She pauses, looking around. Her eyes finally land on me.
"I...I can't."
I look at her wide eyed. The crowd looks around and mumbled uncertainty, while rose tears up and runs back downstairs. I sigh and try to follow her, when Duke catches me by the arm.
"You asshole. You told her, didnt you?"
"Duke I'm sure it's just cold feet."
I pull away from him and rush back downstairs. Rose was sitting on her bed crying.
"Rose what's going on?" I sit with her and out my hand on her back.
"I-i cant marry him!" She choked out.
"Why not?"
"There's always been apart of me that..that missed you."
"What?"
"Julia, I remembered. A few days after I asked Duke out. I remembered. I ddint forget everything, I knew, I fucking knew. I adored you for not telling me after seeing we were happy and I'm so sorry for all that you've been through.."
"Rose please-"
She pushes my arm and cups my cheek, kissing me.
"Rose.." I sigh.
"I know. I know."
"You're marrying my best friend."
"...I know." She sighs, looking at me with sympathy.
"Come on, let's continue that wedding shall we?"
We walk back up to the rooftop, and after I explained it was cold feet, the crowd relaxed and the wedding continued. This time, Rose said "I do."
The end.
