Dedication
To all whose dreams of love have taken unexpected turns, and to those who discovered strength in the silence of broken promises. To the hearts that endured the weight of choices, and the souls who found recovery beyond regret. This is for you— for the weddings that never happened, and the love stories that still survived.
Foreword
Every city has its whispers. In Spokane, ours began with laughter—two children chasing kites, growing side by side, destined, it seemed, for vows beneath church bells. Their love was more than a promise; it was a prophecy. Families prepared, neighbors cheered, the choir rehearsed. The altar waited. But not every prophecy is fulfilled.
Sometimes love is torn apart not by absence of feeling, but by the hunger for more—more life, more risk, more freedom. And so, the satin gown hung unworn, the bells remained silent, and a story was born.
This is not simply a tale of romance. It is a tale of choices—the ones that wound, the ones that restore, and the ones that forever alter the course of two souls. It is about betrayal and pursuit, about cultures colliding under firelit skies, and about a love scarred yet unyielding. This is the story of The Wedding That Never Happened.
