June had always dreamed of being the bride, walking down the aisle in a beautiful white dress and saying "I do" to the love of her life. But as she stood at her best friend Lewis' wedding, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness. Two years ago, she had met Lewis and thought he was the one. They had become the best of friends, spending countless hours together and sharing their deepest thoughts and feelings. June couldn't deny that she was attracted to Lewis and enjoyed his company more than anyone else's.
However, there was one small problem: Lewis was marrying someone else. And not just anyone else, but his long-time girlfriend whom he had been dating even before June came into his life. Despite her best efforts, June couldn't shake off her feelings for Lewis. She had tried to move on, dating other people and distracting herself, but nothing seemed to work. Every person she dated only made her realize how great Lewis truly was.
When June and Lewis first met, he was in a long-distance relationship with his now bride. They had spent a lot of time together, just the two of them, and had developed a strong bond. But June had never crossed the line, knowing that Lewis was taken. She had even tried to distance herself when her friends noticed her feelings for him, but Lewis never seemed to notice or care.
It wasn't until Lewis got engaged to his girlfriend that June realized the depth of her feelings for him. She couldn't picture herself being happy with anyone else and felt like this was it for her. She had never been in a relationship before, and Lewis was the closest she had ever been to one. June couldn't help but hope that Lewis and his fiancée would break up before the wedding, but they had made it.
June was happy for the couple, but she couldn't help feeling incredibly lonely at the wedding. She wondered if she would ever be able to get over Lewis and move on. She feared that she would never find someone who could compare to him and worried that she would do a disservice to her future partners by constantly comparing them to him.
According to psychotherapist Lucy Beresford, it is not uncommon for people to feel regret at weddings and imagine themselves in the place of the happy couple. However, it is important to remember that weddings can be emotional occasions, and social conditioning often leads us to believe that romantic pairings are something that should happen. Lucy believes that June may have left it too late to reveal her feelings to Lewis, as it could potentially affect his marriage.
June couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if she had told Lewis how she felt before he got engaged. But as Lucy said, it is important to own your truth and not live with any regrets. June couldn't shake off the feeling that she had missed her chance at happiness with the one person she felt truly loved her.
As she watched Lewis and his bride exchange vows, June couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. She had always thought it would be her walking down the aisle one day, saying "I do" to the love of her life. But for now, she would have to find a way to move on and accept that Lewis was no longer hers to love.
