The Wedding - Primeval Drabble
“Marriage is an honourable estate, not to be entered into lightly…”
The vicar had a kind, warm face, smiling at Emily.
Emily knew the script. But marriage… such a big step.
Her parents had brought her up to respect the institution, taught her that it was her duty to marry well, have children. Henry had intimidated her from the day they met. But her parents had insisted she marry him.
She let the ceremony wash over her, answering automatically, still apprehensive, until…
“You may kiss the bride.”
Matt did, so much love in his eyes. This time would be different.
