Woman mistakes wedding for horror movie, finds peace in solitude
You’re walking down the aisle.
Everyone is watching you.
Everyone is there.
There’s a man up there.
That’s the man you’re going to sleep beside, eat with, and have sex with forever.
Every evening with him, every holiday, every waking moment, forever.
You’re going to have to watch TV with him, split chores with him, and live with him, forever.
That man: no one else. Forever. No one else you ever meet will be allowed to love you romantically or be intimate with you.
You’ll be expected to bear his children.
And you don’t love him, not really.
You don’t really like him. He’s not your best friend. He’s fine. Ok. Average. “In your league”. He already annoys you sometimes. He already has habits you hate. You already feel the twang of regret.
But it’s too late. Everyone is looking.
That? That’s my nightmare.
Not being alone with a cat, eating chips.
