The Best Thing I Never Had
Leslie had always loved marigolds. Their radiance and brightness. A huge part of the reason she picked this venue for the wedding was of the beautiful gazebo placed in the marigold garden. She remembered reading that marigolds represented life and vibrance but there was a dark side of the symbol as well. In other books it was said that marigolds meant death, despair and were called the flowers of grief. As she looked out over the preparations being made in the garden she almost became engulfed in this duality. The very place she picked to start the rest of her new life was supposed to be full of life and vibrance. Instead it is going to be the death of her relationship.

The Best Thing I Never Had
It was a beautiful day for a wedding. The sun was shining, it was a perfect 80 degree low humidity, light breeze in the air, not a cloud in the sky type of day. There was only one problem with it. It wasn't her's! Monise slumped down in the chair next to the bay window of the resort and continued to stare out thinking about the possibility of having her own special day, if/when her long-time boyfriend Ben ever got around to actually proposing. Every time the subject of marriage came up, Ben's consistent response for the past year of their relationship had been, "I love you, just like a fat kid loves chocolate cake!" Monise was a little chunky growing up and the thought of chocolate cake made her absolutely sick, so needless to say the whole analogy was lost on her.
