Teri White stood in the middle of the elegantly decorated reception hall, her phone pressed to her ear, disbelief settling in her chest like cold fog. The voice on the other end was shaky but resolute—the bride had called it off. Three weeks before the big day. Non-refundable deposit, fully prepared venue, detailed event schedule—none of it mattered now.
“I’m so sorry, Teri. It’s just… I can’t go through with it,” the bride whispered.
Teri didn’t respond right away. She’d learned in this business to be calm in the eye of any storm, but this felt different. Not because of the financial implications—although those were real—but because it brought her face-to-face with something she had buried: her own failed wedding, five years ago, in this same city. Auckland was a vibrant place filled with love stories, but hers had always been a blank page at the end of a beautiful book.
After she hung up, she stood in silence. Fairy lights glowed overhead in the empty venue. The florist’s invoice had already been paid. The lake outside shimmered in the late afternoon sun. Teri exhaled sharply and walked outside to the lakeside deck, the wood creaking beneath her feet.
“Why, Lord?” she whispered.
“In God’s Time” was the quiet reply …
And you will not believe what happened next!
