A Heart Unworthy of the White Dress

Tonight when she gets home, her soon to be husband will make her Kraft macaroni and cheese because she asks him to.  Not because it is her favorite.

But everyone who knows her can see the several editions of Martha Stewart Weddings laid across the backseat of her car.  She overdramatizes exasperation over potentially delayed bridesmaids' dresses and is frenzied in her excitement as the gifts roll in.  

There is a reason Vera Wang manufactures fantasy frosting creations.  The most elaborate fluffy dream of a dress pulled over her head to camoflauge a heart that feels no different than it did the day before.

Passion burns but comfort smothers.
