The day couldn't have been more perfect for a wedding, thought Katherine "Kitty" Wiley. Even the weather was cooperating, where there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the day was warm but not too warm-perfect for a June wedding. Today was the day that she was to be married to Winston Chamberfield III, a preppy frat boy that had just graduated from college who her mother, step-father, father, and step-mother were just crazy about--so you wouldn't think there wouldn't be any problems but there were.
Kitty kept thinking that everything was moving much too fast, for she felt that she hadn't yet gotten over being dumped by her last boyfriend, Ray Steele for what she knew was for that girl from his R.O.T.C class--Dowdy Irene. This was the main reason that Kitty had dropped out of Perdue State University in her senior year to go back home to South Bend, Indiana.
As she stood wearing her dream wedding gown being assisted by her bridesmaids that were getting her ready to marry Winston, Ray Steele kept coming to her mind. What was it about Ray, Kitty kept asking herself. She had to admit to herself that Ray was right, they both were so dynamically different in the ways they were brought up. Where Ray was brought up by older parents that taught him the value of hard work and determination, Kitty was raised to believe that she deserved anything that she wanted and she always got, except for the only thing that she truly wanted and couldn't have--Rayford Steele.
It was now that she realized that she actually loved this man from the other side of the tracks as what the old expression said. Everything was just so wrong, Ray should be the one that she was preparing to marry and not this preppy, frat boy twit that was born with a silver spoon up his rear but then I'm actually just his match since that's exactly the way that I was raised.
What was she to do? Become the runaway bride or marry this man that she was sure that she didn't love. "Oh, why did she have to jump the gun and drag poor Ray into that jewelry store and assist on that ring that he clearly couldn't afford but I had to have', thought Kitty. Now, Katherine "Kitty" Wiley, came to the realization that for her entire life, she always acted for herself and only herself and never even thought of anyone else or their feeling--for everything was about her. No wonder Ray was wanted dowdy Irene, for Irene was her exact opposite.
Suddenly the wedding march began and that was her cue to begin her walk down the aisle but it was with a fake simile on her face. She had to go through with it for all the money that her parents have spent on her "dream" wedding and they would probably kill her if she skipped out on it. It was so weird, finally once in her life, Kitty was doing something that wasn't about her but was thinking about somebody else's feeling and her heart was breaking.
