My Graduation Day Their Wedding Day

by Litchi Froot

The day we take our graduation photos, I come across a photographer's social media post. "I've been a photographer for a decade, and this is the first time I've ever photographed a couple's wedding portraits on their graduation day! The groom's handsome, the bride's beautiful, and she spends the entire shoot putting her husband's feelings first. "She even tells me that marrying him is the greatest blessing of her life. Even though we shot from sunrise to sunset and my camera's memory card is bursting at the seams, it was totally worth it to capture such a match made in heaven!" My mind drifts back to our graduation photo session earlier that day when my girlfriend suddenly flakes on me, leaving me without even a single photo of us together in our caps and gowns. I click on the photos with a heavy heart, unable to hide my envy. The moment my eyes land on the couple's faces, my breath instantly catches in my throat. The woman is Celine Waverly, my girlfriend of four years, who always told me we should wait until we both have stable jobs before getting married. The man is my close friend and the campus heartthrob, Marcus Cross. Just two hours ago, Marcus was comforting me on WhatsApp, telling me there are plenty of fish in the sea and that if Celine doesn't appreciate me, I can always find someone else. Yet now, he's holding my girlfriend's hand, about to marry her and start their happily ever after.
