Chapter 2 – Present Day
Casey's POV
Ugh was all I could think. This weekend was Lizzie's wedding, after this weekend every Mcdonald girl will have the last name Venturi. That's right Lizzie was marrying Edwin after a very long time of them denying their feelings and then trying to hide it because of how Derek and I had failed. But they were great for each other. They had their moments like any other couple but they actually worked through them instead of just trying to ignore them.
Lizzie asked me to be her Maid of Honor and Derek was the Best Man. This will be awkward walking in with him since we haven't spoken since our divorce. Four very long years of avoiding holidays if we knew the other would be there. Eventually we worked out a system without actually speaking to each other we somehow ended going every other holiday to the home. Plus the family would come visit us in our respective homes.
But we both couldn't avoid this, our siblings were getting married. Lizzie and Edwin decided on having a private weekend long wedding trip. Only people who would be there would be Nora, George, Marti, Derek, me, and a few of their friends. They didn't want a big to do.
After the divorce I moved out of Canada and down to New York to continue my writing there. But I gave up on sport journalism and decided to write books instead and actually had a best seller out. Derek is still on the Maple Leafs, he was named the captain two years ago. I actually watched his first game when he skated on to the ice with the C on his chest. Obviously it was on TV, I couldn't go to his games. People would see the famous ex-wife of the great Derek Venturi, and that's how rumors start.
Suddenly my phone rang the screen flashed Lizzie "Hello."
"Casey please tell me you're on your way up here. There is so much we need to do before the wedding this weekend. I can't believe I'm getting married. Casey you don't think I'm making a mistake do you?" She rambled this all out before catching her breath.
"Relax Liz, I'm just about to leave now I will be landing at 3:45pm." I stated very calmly to her, "Also you and Edwin are perfect for each other seriously all those times you were doing research together in the game closet should have been a hint how perfect you are for each other."
"Ok Casey I'll see you when you get to the house! This is so exciting I'm getting married and you're my Maid of Honor." And with that she hung up the phone and I grabbed my bag and headed out to go home and see my little sister get married.
