Dear Brenda,Due to unforeseen circumstances, the wedding is off. Please notify all the guests and the vendors. But it made no sense.
It was from my corporate account — an account that my family had access to because we all worked at the family business together. My mind raced — did Mom and Dad? Could they really…?
No, they couldn’t have. They always said that it was my life and my choices. Even if they didn’t approve of Rasmus, they wouldn’t hurt me like this.
I needed to hear it from them. But my parents were just as shocked as I was. “We were on a flight, honey,” my father said.
” I asked before he could say anything. Rasmus didn’t even try to hide it. He had canceled the wedding because, three days ago, he realized that as much as he loved me, he wasn’t ready for marriage.
So, he panicked. “I didn’t have the courage to tell you,” he said. “I figured that you’d think the wedding was on, and then when the slip-up happened, you would want to investigate it.
I thought it would take the heat off me.” As I stood there, my wedding day in ruins around me, I realized that my parents were right. Rasmus wasn’t the person for me. And as much as it hurt, a part of me was relieved he did it.
So, here I am, looking at my wedding dress and wondering what to do with it.
