Short stories: Wedding stories – Part 2
Saturday, December 18th, 2010heres my spin on the jilted wedding:
Kirsty’s Wedding:
Kirsty woke excited.It was her big day. Her gorgeous lace
dress was hanging on the back of the door and her flowers were in a special
box on the dresser. She jumped out of bed and ran giggling to her big
sisters room. The day actually belonged to Lauren, Kirsty’s older
sister , but it felt like Kirsty’s own special day .She was the only
girl in her class to be a flower girl this year.
There were 14 years between herself and Lauren with no-one in between,so both girls
were excited to be sharing this big day. Kirsty had been worried it would never happen, it had been postponed twice already because Lauren and Tim had been fighting and her dress had to be taken out once already.She was worried if it took much longer to happen then she would get too big to be a flower girl.
Kirsty banged on Laurens door
“Are you up yet?”
“we have to get our updo done soon,remember?”
Lauren opened the door smiling as she spoke”how could I forget,with
you around huh?”
Lauren gave Kirsty a big hug saying,”let’s get some brekky into us first”.
As they headed for the kitchen, Kirsty looked up at Lauren and to her surprise Lauren looked sad.Her mum had asked her yesterday if she had noticed Lauren looking sad, but she had been too busy with all her pretty things for the wedding that she hadn’t noticed Lauren at all.Now she wondered why her mother had asked.Kirsty wondered if it was something Tim had said. Everyone else seemed to like Tim, but Kirsty had noticed
that if Lauren sometimes cried, it was because of Tim and for that reason she
didn’t really like him even though he was always nice to her and sometimes bought her a present. Kirsty didn’t know why Lauren wanted to marry someone who made her cry.She thought to herself “It must be ok, she gets to wear the beautiful dress and tiara and veil and be a princess for a day and I get to be flower girl” with that thought Kirsty ran to her mother pleading “can I get dressed now,can I,can I,Pleeease?”
Rose, her mother,pleaded with her to settle down.”you have to get your updo done before you can put on the dress,ok,love?”
Rose noticed Lauren had left her breakfast untouched and had left the room. Kirsty saw her mother press her lips together and frown.Kirsty followed Rose to Laurens room where she was lying on the bed.Rose
asked Kirsty to wait in her room .Kirsty frowned but headed to her room to look at her pretty dress and flowers again.
