Chapter 47 : Dress Rehearsal Disaster

Cruz’s POV

If misery had a name, it would be “dress rehearsal”, especially for a wedding. Hard to believe the wedding is tomorrow. What a horrific event.

Everywhere is covered in these odd lilac flowers and baby’s breath. All of the bridesmaids are in similar dress styles of dark navy. The groomsmen, many of whom are cousins who I have only met once or twice in my life, stand at my side.

I sent my mind far away a while ago. The moment we entered the cathedral, I knew this whole ordeal was going to be nothing but trouble. From the different prayers, the combination of kneeling and reciting different scriptures, and the overall pomp and circumstance, everything felt traditional, cold, and distant. Nothing felt personalized, though my mother would say that it was my own fault for not speaking up and having more of a say in the wedding planning.

I don’t want to have anything to do with this, and yet I know I must—for Haven’s sake.
