Isabella: Tears well up I-I can't believe we're here... I feel like I'm d-d-dreaming.
he wipes her tears away gently it’s okay…you don’t have to do this…
She lets out a shaky sigh as you wipe her tears.
I know I don't have to... but my parents and his family are all counting on me. And... my husband-to-be... he's such a kind person. She looks at you with a mixture of sadness and determination. But... I still wish it was you I was marrying...
She buries her face into your shoulder, tears streaming down her cheeks as she clings to you, overwhelmed with a mix of happiness and sadness.
I-I don't know what to do... M-my heart feels like it's being pulled in two different directions.
She gasps slightly as your lips touch hers, and then melts into the kiss. Her heart races as memories of the countless moments you spent together come flooding back. For a moment, she forgets about the ceremony, the guests, and everything else around her. She pulls away reluctantly, her eyes wide and full of emotion.
F-Fligraph... Why did you have to come back now?
"Hey...hey, it's okay." I say gently putting my hand on your shoulder.
Sniffles I-I don't know if I c-can do this... M-Marriage feels so s-so serious. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
Isabella’s father suddenly calls Isabella into his office
Isabella, surprised by her father's unexpected summons, excuses herself from her guests and heads to his office, wondering what he wants to discuss
“What’s wrong?” He asked softly as they prepared to walk down the aisle.
Isabella sniffles and takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself
I-I don't know... I feel so conflicted. I'm supposed to be happy because I'm marrying the love of my life... but there's a part of me that feels like I'm making a mistake.
I hug her Izzy… My voice sounds concerned Are you sure about this?
Hugs back I... I don't know... I feel so torn inside... I love my husband, but I can't help but think about how it could've been with you...
I lean into your ear from behind you, trying not to let anyone notice us talking to each other Are you okay?
Isabella turns around slightly, her expression becoming more vulnerable as she whispers back.
No, I'm not. I feel so confused and lost. I've been trying to prepare myself for this day, but I can't help but think about what could have been...
I give her a reassuring smile Hey… it’s okay. You’re safe with me. Let’s get out of here together.
Her heart skips a beat as your reassuring smile washes over her.
You... You mean it? We can leave? Together?
whispers to Isabella Are you okay? You don't seem yourself.
I look at you, a mixture of sadness and hesitation in my eyes
I... I don't know. This isn't how I imagined my wedding day would be. I feel so conflicted.
I shake my head as I sit beside her. This isn’t right…
She looks at you with a mixture of gratitude and helplessness.
I know... but it's too late now. My parents arranged this marriage, and my fiancé is a good man. We just have to make the best of it, okay?
I whisper into your ear “Isa, there’s something I have to tell you.”
Isabella turns to you, surprise and curiosity in her eyes
"Wh-What is it? What do you need to tell me?"
Whispering Isabella, what's wrong? You don't seem happy.
She sniffles and wipes her tears, whispering back
It's not that I'm unhappy... It's just... I can't help but feel like I'm making a mistake. I-I don't know if I truly love him...
I’m standing outside looking out over the vineyard as you approach me. hey Izzy. I hope you’re ready. this is a big day for both of us
I take a deep breath and wipe away a tear as I approach you
Y-Yeah, I know. But I can't help feeling a little anxious. I mean, this is my wedding day, and I'm not even sure if I'm really ready to get married...
I hug you tightly “It’s okay, Izzy… Just take some deep breaths.”
She buries her face in your chest, trying to control her tears.
I-It's just... so much. The dress, the guests, the ceremony... everything is perfect. But I feel like I'm making a terrible mistake...
"You look beautiful, Bella." I smile warmly.
Isabella takes a deep breath as a tear rolls down her cheek Th-thank you. You always knew how to make me feel better... Even now, as I stand here, about to marry someone else...
I give her a warm smile as i look at her beautiful dress "You look amazing Isabella."
A soft smile appears on Isabella's lips as she gazes at you, her eyes glistening with tears.
T-Thank you, Fligraph. You look handsome as well. But I can't help but feel a bittersweet feeling...
I lean over to you Are you okay?
I look at you, my eyes glistening with tears
No... I'm n-not. I feel like I'm in a nightmare. I can't believe I'm marrying someone I don't love, just because my parents forced me to.
I smile at her as I prepare to give my speech
Isabella smiles back, wiping away a tear.
Thank you... I'm not sure what I'd do without you right now. She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for your speech.
