The melodious voices of the choir ushered in the father of the bride holding his daughter’s hand in his while they walked down the isle. Louis smiled as he watched his beautiful bride approaching him.

Mr. Eric Robertson gave his daughter’s hand to Louis, who took it in his and they both turned to face the Priest then, Bridget's father made his way back to his seat, in the front pew beside his wife.

Amanda stood beside Bridget as the chief bride's maid and smiled, watching the Priest join her friend and Louis in Holy Matrimony. In that Swift moment, she envisioned herself up there, standing with her Groom in front of the Priest and saying her vows. Even though it wasn’t time yet, she still chose to hold on to that dream.

Amanda was so happy and laughed a little when she saw Elena pouring out tears of joy.

The reception was filled with excited family and friends. Amanda watched Bridget laugh as she spoke with her guest.

“She looks beautiful in her wedding dress.” Elena voiced from behind her, distracting her from her solitude state.

“Being friends with you is a blessing, Elena.” Amanda commented wholeheartedly, warming her friend with a sincere smile. "Who else would have patiently selected the best of best wedding dress for her?"

Elena chortled. A comment like that made her thought of engraving her achievement on stone.  “You and Bridget are more like sisters to me and seeing Bridget now makes me want to settle down.” She said as both of them looked at each other and Burst out laughed “I heard you are going back to L.A tomorrow.” Elena said.

“Yeah.” Amanda confirmed.

“Why the rush.”

“I cant run away from my life ever.” Amanda told her friend.

“Can you please extend the date?” Elena pleaded without including her reason for the request.

Amanda was puzzled as to why Elena would ask that “Why? Missing me already?” She finally asked, playfully.

“It’s been Eight years since we last saw each other and who knows if it’ll take us another eight years before we see again. Who knows if we might even miss our weddings or—“

Amanda hushed her friend before she could add another sad 'who knows if…' “I won’t miss your wedding for anything in the world and you dare not miss mine.” Amanda confronted, still wearing her iconic smile. She held Elena's hands and confessed “I'm sorry I couldn't create time for us before. I promise, things will be different this time.”

“We all will make this time different.” Bridget added, joining the conversation.

Amanda felt tears forming in her eyes. She knew she will miss them so much and not just them “This isn’t good bye” She told them.

“Of course baby, but let’s hang out one more time, tomorrow night before you go to L.A. there will be boys and drinks and most of our old friends from High school will be there. I will be borrowing my dad’s Yacht, and we’ll just sail till dawn.” Elena invited ecstatically, begging with her eyes that they shouldn't refuse.
