Summary: Drabble. Her wedding day was almost perfect, almost.
A/N: Thanks, as always, to queenb23more. Now that I've finally got this out of my head I can start working on 'Home' again.
It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. Yet, no matter how much she tried to enjoy herself, the inexplicable ache in her chest would not subside.
Everything had been beautiful, from her dress to the flowers she still held in her hand, and yet something was still missing, somebody was missing.
It was not supposed to happen this way.
She had imagined her wedding day thousands of times over the years and it had almost played out just as it had in all of her musings. The groom was who she had always imagined, her father had held her hand as she walked down the isle, her mother had cried buckets full, and her brother had even managed to sneak in a Canary Cream or two, but there was still that feeling that she had missed out, all because he wasn't there.
He would have loved today. He would have spent the day making fun of her and she would have taken all of it, just to prove she could. He would have joined in with her brothers whilst they joked with her new husband about what would be happening later that evening. He would have danced with her til her feet were sore.
But he wasn't here and she would just have to make do, achy feelings be damned.
She sighed as her new husband pulled her closer.
"You all right, love?"
She stared up into his beautiful green eyes, "Yes, I was just thinking about how much Fred would have loved this."
