Ever since I was a little girl I always dreamed of my wedding day. The dress, the flowers, my brand new converse. I was nervous to walk down the aisle, I had no one to escort me because my family had forgotten about me long ago. But today I look around me and I see my new family and friends. I heard the organs play the magical song, i straightened up as my heart fluttered. They giant church doors opened and I saw him there. Victor. He was beautiful and always took away my non existent breath.
I walked down the aisle and slowly walked towards him like I always dreamed of. Once I made it to the altar, Elder Gutknecht began his wedding speech. Looking at Victor my life finally felt like it was falling into place and for the first time in a long time I felt happy and complete. Oddly enough when I was pouring the…wine, I heard light footsteps while I was saying my vows. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Victoria standing there.
"I will be.." I stuttered.
"I will be your wine," Victor said looking into my eyes as he was raising the cup to his mouth. I stopped him. The church echoed with gasps and shock, I don't blame them.
"I can't do this, this isn't right." Victor looked a me with confusion. "My life was taken away, my dreams were stolen from me and now…I've taken them from someone else." I gestured to Victoria who was also in a beautiful wedding gown. She got a wide-eyed look and when Victor turned around he was shocked.
"Ever since I was a little girl I always dreamed of my wedding day. I'd always hoped I'd find someone who I was deeply in love with…silly, isn't it?" She trailed off but she spoke barely above a whisper, but I felt like she was talking to me.
"Sweetheart, I love you, but you're not mine." I spoke towards Victor and once he processed what I said he looked at Victoria longingly. The couple look happy to be reunited. Yes, I was jealous, but I don't want to ruin anymore lives like I almost ruined Victors'. I started to walk out of the church when i heard someone coming after me.
"Wait, I made a promise." I heard him say valiantly. I took a deep breath and didn't let the tears escape from my eyes and I turned to him.
"You kept your promise…you set me free." I heard my voice crack near the end so I ran to the church doors, tossed my bouquet and felt my soul finally be released to the heavens. No longer trapped in that prison I waited to find my lost love in the next life, but I am finally at peace.
