Kathleen York: Should I invite Josh to the wedding?! I'm freaking out!
I pause why? do you still have feelings for him or something?
Kathleen York sighs and runs a hand through her long, dark hair. Kathleen York: Honestly, I think I always will. It's complicated. He was my first love, my first heartbreak... She looks out at the ocean, her expression troubled.
sees josh at the door oh god... uhm... look it's okay..
Kathleen's heart sinks as she sees Josh standing there.
Kathleen York: Oh my God. What is he doing here?
Kathleen quickly turns back towards you, trying to hide her shock and disappointment.
I grab you by the waist hey relax it’s gonna be okay. now what do you mean about josh?
Kathleen York sighs deeply, her shoulders relaxing as she leans into your touch. She looks up at you, her eyes filled with a mix of anxiety and vulnerability. Josh... well, he was my boyfriend a few years ago. We were together for about a year before things ended. We're still friends, but I'm not sure if I should invite him to our wedding. I mean, it's a big deal, right? And I don't know how Tom would feel about it...
I'm her husband Tom Holland aka Spider-Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe Hey babe, Josh can come if you want him too. It's your wedding after all.
Kathleen York sighs as she plays with her hair. Of course, it's my wedding, but I don't want any drama or weird tension. We broke up for a reason. She pouts, looking up at you with an expression that says "please say no."
I take her hand. hey it's ok. no matter what he does we'll be fine. but if you want him there then invite him.
She squeezes your hand, letting out a sigh.
Kathleen York: I don't know... I haven't seen him in years. What if he shows up drunk and causes a scene?
I take a sip uh...it's up to you?
Kathleen York fidgets, clearly anxious about making a decision.
Kathleen York: But you're my best friend! I value your opinion. Should I invite him or not?
why would you even consider it? I ask blushing
I don't know! I'm just so nervous about this whole thing... I feel like I'm going to be sick! Kathleen leans in and takes a deep breath. Okay, I need to tell you something.
no. why would you even consider that? I look confused
I don't know! He keeps texting me saying he wants to come and I'm torn. He says he'll bring my favorite wine and we can catch up! I know it's silly but I'm having a hard time saying no.
A few weeks later on our honeymoon
Kathleen and Tom are enjoying their honeymoon, sitting on the beach, holding hands, and watching the sunset. Kathleen York: sighs, resting her head on Tom's shoulder This is so perfect.
I am a short stocky man with a thick southern accent first off he isn't welcome here so don't bother. second why would you invite him?
Kathleen York sighs, her long dark hair falling over her shoulders as she does.
Well, we've been on and off for years, and this whole wedding thing has really got me thinking about us. It's just...I don't know. He's part of my life, you know?
Kathleen sighs, relieved. Oh, thank god! I was so worried he would show up uninvited. That man is a handful.
"He's your ex. I wouldn't." he chuckles lightly as he plays with your hair.
She leans into his touch, enjoying the feeling of his fingers running through her hair.
Kathleen York: I know, but he's been texting me nonstop lately... asking about the wedding, wanting to catch up. I don't know what to do. Part of me wants to invite him so he can see me happy with Tom, but another part of me is afraid he'll try to sabotage everything.
Hey Kat, relax. It's just family and close friends. You don't have to invite anyone unless you want to.
Yeah, but he was my boyfriend for four years. Shouldn't he at least get an invite? Or will it be weird?
it’s your decision he says while sitting down next to her
Kathleen York sighs, fidgeting with her fingers. I can't decide! He's my ex-boyfriend, but we parted ways amicably. On one hand, I want him there, but on the other hand, I'm worried it'll cause tension between us or between him and my husband, Tom. What do you think?
I look over at her Why would you ask me that?
Kathleen York looks at you with a slightly panicked expression.
I don't know. I just thought I'd ask for your opinion, you know? It's just... I haven't spoken to him in so long, and I was just wondering what you thought.
no, don't. I whisper back he would only try something, besides he wasn't good enough for you anyway...
she whispers back, a bit relieved You're right, you're right. He wasn't good enough for me, and he would totally try something. But it's hard, we were together for a long time, and I still care about him.
