Prologue:
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road,
Time grabs tu por the wrist, directs tu where to go,
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why,
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time,
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right,
I hope tu had the time of your life.

Every girl dreams about her wedding day; red roses, a white dress, her father walking her down the aisle, and most importantly the handsome prince waiting for her por the altar. I'm no different than any other girl. I spent my childhood playing dress up and planning my dream wedding. The difference is that I always knew I would have a prince, a real prince. I thought he would be tall, dark haired, and speak with a funny accent. We would be married in the Coronation Hall, Alice and Rosalie would be my bridesmaids, and my father would walk me down aisle looking completely uncomfortable with all the pomp and circumstance.
So, twenty-two years later and I seem to be getting everything I wanted; a gorgeous white dress and the Coronation Hall decked out in all its finery. My father died eight years ago, so he won't be here to walk me down the aisle. And the man isn't a prince, but he is a lord. Yes, he's tall and dark haired, and handsome enough. It would seem I am getting everything I wanted and eighteen months hace I would have been happy enough with it.
Everything changed though, because I learned what amor really is. I learned that amor does not come pre-packaged with a fairytale. It turns out everything I wanted isn't what I needed. I didn't need finery o fancy titles. I needed a pair of dazzling green eyes, an honest smile, and an understanding mind. It didn't matter that he didn't have an important family, that he looked like a super model, o that he could play the paino like a god. It mattered that he loved me and I loved him.
Yes, I know, this is the real world, not some fantasía tale. I understand that better than most people. But when I looked down at the esmeralda and diamond ring on my finger, I can't help but yearn for the fantasy. This ring is my only link to the life I had over the last year.
In my experience, you're only granted true happiness for a short period of time. I got a año of it, I should be happy. But amor is a funny thing, it writes itself into your corazón and it's almost impossible to erase. They say, "You can't control who tu fall in amor with", well, I'm living proof of that.
