A Wedding That's Forever on Hold
I've dated Andrew Carter, my surgeon boyfriend, for seven years. We plan 66 weddings, and he cancels every single one for Selena Merrick.
The first time, Selena botched a patient's injection. "Wait for me," he said, and I waited the entire day.
The second time, she slipped and fell in the shower. We were just about to exchange rings, but he ditched me at the altar without a second thought, leaving me to face the ridicule from the guests.
For all 65 weddings I held, Selena always found an excuse to lure Andrew away.
At the 65th wedding, she claimed her dog was dying and threatened to take her life. My mom collapsed from stress-induced angina, yet Andrew still ran to Selena.
Afterward, he kneels and begs us for forgiveness. "Selena is just a pitiful orphan, but you're the one I'll always love," he declares.
I give him one last chance, yet he never fails to disappoint me.
That is it. I break up with Andrew and join Doctors without Borders.
Goodbye. Let's never meet again.
