Smooth Sailing
As the day progressed, each and every minute felt like a full hour to Casey. She did her best to keep up appearances for the sake of the guests and felt thankful that Alex was only due to arrive closer to the reception. Aside from that, the day would have been lovely, as Casey was surrounded by friends and family enjoying themselves with nice food and plenty of laughter. However, just beneath the surface, Casey knew things were going to take a turn, and soon.
A Costume

She reached her waiting groom when she had no intention of reciting vows. She put down her bouquet, took her phone out, and prepared to read out the text messages.
