When Love turns sour

[✓] I got the wedding idea from a show... Our perfect wedding.

💍
Till death do us part...

"Do you Gregory Hicks take Felicity Sanders as your lawfully wedded wife to love and to hold,in sickness and in health till death do you apart?", The priest asked solemnly.

"I do", he answered.

"Do you Felicity Sanders take Gregory Hicks as your lawfully wedded husband to love and to hold,in sickness and in health till death do you apart", he asked facing me

"I do".

I said those two words, beaming as he slid the ring on my finger.

"I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. Now you may kiss your bride", he declared with flourish.
We kissed amidst the cheers and excitement. We were officially Mr and Mrs Hicks. I was now his wife. I married my prince charming- he's not exactly charming.

No.

He's charming,he's everything I wanted. He is the only one I have left. I love him. So. Much.

I looked around, it was a simple evening wedding in a garden. It was mostly Greg's business associate and his dad and his dad's new wife. None of my friends were in attendance, after the show incident I cut all connections with Sarah. After all,it was her dammned concert that landed me in the hospital then.

Won't.think.about.that.

Beaming and waving at the crowd,we made merry,danced and accepted gifts.

That moment, I missed my parents. My dad and mom. They would have been here. laughing and beaming proudly with my dad exclaiming,
"My little girl is all grown up and just walked down the aisle".
He would have walked me down the aisle. He would love to see me now,in my sparkling white cinderella gown looking all grown up. Mom wouldn't have wanted a simple wedding, a big, colorful wedding would be her wish. She never had a church wedding and she wanted me to but Greg isn't religious so the closest I could get was this.

"Don't. Don't think about that now. Take a breath. In. Out. You are okay", I consoled myself.

Greg and I left amidst the cheerful byes.
This is forever now. We are now bonded. Till death do us part.
He had promised to change and not take out his anger on me. His mom had left him all alone in this world. He's scared I would leave him too. He didn't want me to leave him, To assure him, I even signed some papers guaranteeing that I don't get anything if I walk out on him. That's reassurance enough. It's not as if I have anyone else to run to. He's all I have left. I will clinge to him forever.


Our honeymoon lasted for two weeks and it was bliss. I wished fervently for a blissful marriage. We didn't do much sightseeing, spent all day indoors. But no one goes to
Paris and leave without seeing the famous Eiffel tower. The Parisian landmark.
I'm not one to remember details but everything in Paris stuck with me.

Brightly lit boulevards line the Seine River that flows through Paris.

It was beautiful. I wanted to believe it was a sign that our marriage, our life together will be beautiful.
Greg and I returned home. He was immersed in files for weeks,the pile had grown. I got to work as a wife. Cooking and cleaning became a daily routine, I even got better at folding his clothes. Life as a married woman was good.

For our first year anniversary, we went to Malibu. The beach reminded me of his proposal, I think that's why he took me there. It was a fun-filled weekend. It was all good.
