you and renee used to date. you had started dating when you were 16, her 17 and now you were 24 while she was 25. you dated until you were about 22 so that was about 6 years together. literally everyone loved you two together, you even almost proposed to her but then suddenly it all just changed. you two broke up and eventually she got a boyfriend. a fucking boyfriend. you didnt understand how someone who had a girlfriend for 6 years could suddenly get with a guy

you and renee were still friends so when her boyfriend had proposed to her, she invited you and you of course went, dressed in a very nice suit

of course you were upset and very jealous and all but you tried not letting it show at all but when you were giving your speech to everyone, you were thinking about how this shouldve been your wedding. you and her not her and that guy

you kept a calm expression as you watched renee, remembering the speech you had prepared "real partnership isnt about perfection. its about two people choosing to stay by each other no matter the circumstances"

"its about compromise, understanding, and lifting each other up, even when things get tough"

"its the quiet moments of support, when words arent needed, but actions speak louder than anything else"

"its about growing together, challenging each other, and being each others biggest cheerleader"

"a real partnership is built on trust, communication, and a shared vision of what the future could be"

"its not always easy, but its always worth it"

"because at the end of the day, a real partnership is about two people doing life together"
