When I was seven, I fell in love with fairytales. Breathless first kisses, white weddings, and tiaras—every little girl’s fantasy. Not any fairytale would do, either. I, Alexis Anne Gorecki, had my sights set on becoming the next Sleeping Beauty. When I was ten, I auditioned for the part of the princess in our school play.
It hadn’t mattered that my
Little Golden Book
edition was earmarked on every page or that I’d watched the cartoon a hundred times and could recite the movie almost by heart, it still wasn’t enough for me to land the part. While I cried my eyes out, my twin sister Gen consoled me by drawing ridiculous caricatures of Mrs. Nelson, the play director, and of Whitney Delaney, the snotty-pants who’d been cast as Princess Aurora. Whitney’s idea of being a good sport was to rub her victory in my face for the rest of the year.
I eventually got over it, but I never got over longing for “the fairytale.” For as long as I could remember, I’d wanted those magical memories ending with a happily-ever-after. So, I’d been planning my dream wedding even before prince charming had a face in my fantasies.
It wasn’t until this very moment, minutes before I would say “I do” in real life, it hit me, hard—none of those fairytale stories ever mentioned what happened after the marriage vows.
“Did you really think Jeremy would walk away from his inheritance for puppy love?” Deborah studied me as if I were a slow child whose ignorance was nothing more than an annoyance. My future mother-in-law, prim and perfect in an expensive and conservative ivory cap-sleeved jacket dress, fingered the pearls around her neck while she studied me with bemusement.
I bristled, straightening in the beige upholstered chair identical to the one on which Deborah sat. We were in the bride’s dressing room, separated by a short hallway from the cathedral already full of wedding guests. I couldn’t believe Deborah’s nerve.
“I would hardly call this puppy love,” I said, working hard to keep my rising frustration under control. “We’re getting
married
.”
