Leaving Me Alone at the Altar

"On my wedding day, my boyfriend, Theodore Gunther, suddenly stops the wedding ceremony—all because Gwen Lithgow has updated her social media to say she's back.Theodore throws away the wedding ring he designed. He leaves me at the altar without another look back.I'm dumbfounded as I stand there in my wedding dress. My brother, Alvin Chilton, who's supporting me, lets go. "You've always been strong, Joycelyn. I know you can handle this alone. Gwen needs me more now."With that, he also leaves.He and Theodore have both left me for the same woman. They abandon me alone.That night, after dealing with the fallout of the failed wedding, Gwen sends me a photo. In it, Theodore and Alvin are standing by her bedside.She wears the necklace Theodore made himself and the wedding dress Alvin designed.Those were supposed to be mine.The image makes me lose hope in them. Tears stream down my face as I make a call. "Mom, Dad, I've changed my mind. I want to go home.""
