“I’m getting married,” she says.

I widen my eyes and grasp her hands. “Seriously?!” I shriek, jumping up. She nods and beams.

“Yeah! Braxton finally proposed…” At her words my heart sinks. I hadn’t made the connection yet. I try not to let my disappointed feelings show on the outside.

“Wow! A wedding,” I say, plastering a fake smile on my face. But her smile falters and she narrows her eyes. ...

“I can’t do this speech.” I said.

“Why not.”

“Because you won’t like what.” I said l getting nervous.

“What would you say then, tell me in confidence. No one will know.”

“I’m in love with your fiancé.” I blurted out.

“What!! You never told me, how did you keep it to yourself.”

“Just by not telling anyone.” He walked away after I said that. I was still invited to the wedding, but my other friend g...

I cannot begin to express how happy I am for the bride and groom; two equally beautiful people. They have both taught me countless things in my time of knowing them, and for that I wish them the best in this venture of their lives.

To start, the groom has given me the gift of patience and fortitude. For years I’ve watched him grow closer to the bride that I love, and for years I’ve endured a pai...

“What can I say about Agatha and Miguel? Oh, they appear so happy together, and they do indeed make a lovely couple. I knew them from before they knew each other, we were all in class together. I had spoken to Agatha from day one, and I met Miguel afterward. Aye, he was the silent one, wasn’t he? Never spoke a word to Agatha until midterms, when he needed a pen.

Look at them now! So happy, ...

Good evening! We all gathered here for the finest reason — at the wedding of our friends Maria and Martin. These two met because of two reasons — I and a lot of alcohol) On a noisy but lonely evening, Martin appeared in my bar, telling him how lonely he was on vacation, since all his friends had arrived with the girls, and he didn’t even fall in love once .. After 3 bottles of beer, Maria appea...

After the covid-19, the government mutated our genetics in order to eliminate any discrepancy in society— we cannot lie.

So I see here today, how mutation may fail, or the mutation can mutate itself, as I stand with my poisoned champagne glass about to give a speech at my best friend’s wedding.

Everyone went quiet, odd really, as for the entire evening little chitchat was a must have, especially...

My best friend and roommate is getting married. I am happy for her but sad for me. I have fallen in love with her fiancé back when he was her new boyfriend. They included me in many of their adventures.

The other problem is the wedding is being held in a small town where it is impossible to lie. Physically impossible. As the Maid of Honor I have to give a toast.

Even back then I saw a spark between those two that I kinda envied. Lori was beautiful — much as she looks now. And to...
