She, who had never liked weddings, had allowed herself this fantasy. Her wedding day to Rory. A pretty church in Sussex, festooned with spring flowers. Rows of relatives, and her, Elle, floating down the aisle in cream silk to ‘The arrival of queen Sheba’, with eyes only for him… Rory, slightly rumpled, slightly scared, her love, her only one.But that wasn’t how it had turned out. She knew she was OK, watching him, in fact she was happy for him, happy for Libby. But she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for the girl she’d been, who’d loved him so much. She was still dreaming somewhere, hoping this day would come.

It’s just odd being a guest at the wedding. When you dreamed about it for so long, even if you we’re a different person, and it was years ago. Sounds so stupid. I was stupid.
