A Small Ceremony
On the day of the wedding, Laura put on her thrifted wedding dress, and smiled distractedly as her sister, Carla did her hair and makeup. All she could think about was how excited she was to marry the love of her life. She walked down the aisle with her parents, who’d plastered their best fake smiles on their faces and looked at Jack standing at the altar.
The ceremony was perfect, short and sweet, and Laura couldn’t have pictured a better day. As the newlyweds ate cake and danced around the room, they were in a state of bliss. But the bliss wouldn’t last long.
