Who - Bride, Groom, Bridesmaids, Father, Priest
"I'm so late i'm so late i'm so late.." James muttered, sweating behind the wheel. Elaina stood surrounded by her best friends, gushing with joy. "I can't believe how beautiful you look, darling," her father said, sitting in the upholstered chair in the corner. Elaina grinned, looked down at her engagement ring, then gazed between the curtains at the misty view outside the church. The priest whispered in the doorway.
Speeding to his destination, James takes his eyes off the dark, wet road to glance at his watch. "Almost there, I'll be fine," he reassures himself. Elaina's father quietly checks the time, still waiting in the chair in the corner.
"Oh come ON," James yells when he spots the slow moving van getting bigger in his windshield as he comes around a bend in the road. He slows to a stop, only to pass the van as quickly as he had come up on it.
Keeping a smile on his face, her father takes Elaina's hands and kisses her cheek. She checks the window once more before her bridesmaids help her carry her train down the stairs.
Stopped once more for a seemingly never-ending train, James yells to no one and anyone, "The universe is against me!"
When the train finally clears the tracks and the barrier lifts from the car's front bumper, James continues his race against time to the church. Not bothering to put his car in park, the man stumbles up the stairs and through the arched wooden doors at the front of the chapel. But it's too late. Elaina stands in her cream dress and veil facing the man who gave her the rock on her left hand. When she sees James, she quickly glances away, guilty of something unknown to the rest of the audience. But the groom catches their glance and looks between the two lovers, unaware of the lie he has been told by the love of his life.
