Truthfully, I don't know where Leland was or what had happened. I was just glad the bride showed her true colors before the ceremony!

Sounds like a great party. Too bad he missed it.

No reason for him to show up. RUn now.

Run, yes! His being late taught him something about his wiife-to-be, didn't it. She wasn't concerned about his. Just angry

I love this open-ended completion of the story. I can picture two or three possibilities.

If Leland is smart he will run like hell. His tardiness may have saved his ass.

Sharron - my imagination is in OVERDRIVE! You're such a tease - this is a brilliant story! 🙌

Thank you Rebecca. I hope it was clear that he missed his wedding, not just a party....

Totally! I didn't know who I felt more sorry for - Meredith, or Leland, now that he's in range........! 🤣

"In range!" ha ha ha. I think Leland may be fortunate to have found out about her temper BEFORE he married her....

No explanation from him, so he didn't intend to be there on time OR to marry her. No phone call from him or police or hospital. Yeah, she should be angry and tell herself she dodged a bullet.

Cool. Once the story is out there, it belongs to the reader. THEY decide what it means, not the writer. I am glad this got you going, Kate!

Oh, snap! (Feel free to replace “snap” with any four-letter curse word of your choosing.) You should write the multiple endings to this!

Hah! I think I will leave that to the readers. As I said to Kate,above, once the story is out there it no longer belongs to the writer. The readers alway decide what the message is - and so often it is not what the writer had in mind!.
