Weddings, a celebration of love and happiness as two people vow to be together for the rest of their lives. Of course, even Sophie couldn’t deny the fact that some marriages don’t work out in the end and divorces happen, but there was still the principle of what a wedding meant. Weddings are all about love and telling the world that you can’t see yourself without this person in your life. Needless to say, Sophie absolutely loved weddings, even if she’d never actually been to one before. How was Sophie getting to go to the wedding of the year you may ask, well that’s because of Alex. He was on the list himself, and asked Sophie to be his date. Even if they weren’t dating like they once had, Sophie still cared about him, even if they were just friends. As Sophie was sitting down with her mom fixing her hair, she heard the doorbell, meaning Alex was there. The problem was, Sophie wasn’t quite ready yet, so Alex was downstairs with her dad. Granted, the 6 foot tall black man that was her father wasn’t the intimidating one in the room. Her father was protective, but he was a man that had always been one for books, and science over athletics and conflicts. Anyone that knew anything about the man behind the glasses knew he was the furthest from intimidating. The concern however, was in regards to her uncle, who was just as protective over her as her parents were, and she couldn’t blame him. Her uncle had seen some of the worst of humanity. He had seen the scum of the world, the people who cause those who deserve good, unimaginable pain, the ones who hurt the innocent in the worst ways imaginable. He dealt with everything that would give someone nightmares to go through, and wanted the best for his niece. With her mom finishing helping her get ready, Sophie made her way down to save her friend from the ongoing lecture of “bring her home by this time, if anything happens to her…” and so on, the typical protective parent speech from her dad and uncle. With goodbyes out of the way, Alex and Sophie were off to the wedding. With Alex driving, Sophie sitting in the passenger seat, singing along to every song that came on the radio that she liked. The mood was just lighthearted. Two friends hanging out and going to a wedding together, even if they were also exes, and there was a part of Sophie that did think back to the time they were dating. Though that didn’t matter, they were just friends now, and Sophie would still care about Alex as a person and enjoy being around him. Being at the wedding though, Sophie was in awe of the grandeur of the event. ”Doesn’t this place seem like it came right out of a fairytale?” Sophie asked with a smile. “It just seems so amazing. Don’t you think?”
