Stupid Essay by Stupid Sister

"Ding dong" The wedding bell rang. I held a bridal bouquet and was wearing one of the most gorgeous dress ever made. I was also holding on to my father's arm. I took a deep breath, plastered a sweet, sugary smile and step by step, we strolled into the church. A short distance but to me, it was a very very long walk. Images flashed through my mind. I pondered," Are you the right one?" Your ancitipating smile had made my heart shattered into tiny pieces. I do not want to hurt you neither do I want hurt myself. "Will I regret like my sister?"

*******************************************************************

My sister, Angela, was a charming woman with a beautiful heart, a beautiful face and a beautiful personality. A very fortunate man married her. Their courtship was sweet, lovely and unforgettable. Before marriage, the two lovely birds were shadows of each other. It was totally impossible to see one without the other around, I always envied Angela - her love, her looks and her life.

The day came, her wedding. Of course, I was her bridesmaid and I watched as she held on to our father's arm, walked into the church and waved like a princess. The wedding was perfect, everyone blessed the newlyweds, wishing that their relationship would be everlasting.

Sadly, six months after Angela's wedding, things started to change. That attractive, bold and caring brother-in-law had transformed into a monster. He abused my sister. He slapped, caned, bit and pinched her. Even hot boiling water was splattered onto Angela and her beautiful face was disfigured. In depression, she overdosed pills and killed herself.
Before she left us, she wrote me this note:
"Say love to romance, say loath to marriage."

"Will you marry the man standing beside you?" The pastor's voice broke my reverie.

"Sorry. I won't." I replied. There was an audible intake of breath and then deadly silence.
