Today is my wedding day. I'm supposed to be happy, right? Then why aren't I? This is supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life. Why is it that I can't bring myself to smile?
His name is Thomas, and he seems great. I've been told he loves fishing. He has two dogs, and he likes reading like I do. He's also rich and my parents seem to think that's a great reason for me to marry him. I've met him twice over dinner, both times being with our parents present. We haven't had a moment alone together but I'm supposed to marry him today. I just can't picture a happy life with someone I've never had the time to get to know.
My mother said that she had the same feelings when she was my age. That love comes later and I'll get used to being with him. We need the money and I should be honored to help my family, but I just can't be. Of course I want them to be happy, but why does it have to be at the cost of my own happiness?
Ever since I was little, I dreamed of finding my prince charming and falling in love. I look at Thomas, and I know he likes me, but I don't see my prince charming in him.
This wasn't my choice, and it never would have been. I don't have control in this situation but I'll tell you one thing. I'll make sure this never happens to my children.
They will have the option I didn't. To find their true love, no matter who it may be.
