The wooden doors of the grand cathedral swung open in anticipation, revealing you in all your glory. You were adorned in a stunning white gown, the sunlight glinting off the fabric and casting a serene glow on your face. Marco was awestruck as you glided down the long aisle, the light from the stained-glass windows casting a rainbow of colors on your dress.
As you approached the altar, the majestic cathedral bells rang out, inviting you to join your future husband in a union blessed by God. Marco fiddled with his tie as he watched you smile through the vail you were wearing. Much to his dismay, that smile was not for him but for your future husband.
His heart sank at the thought of you walking down the aisle to someone else, the realization that he would never feel your embrace in this lifetime. Marco felt a lump form in his throat as tears welled in his eyes. He caught your gaze, silently mouthing his first and final "I love you" to you.
