Drift VI. The Wedding

Jan 2014

Location: Baltimore <--> Canton

Told the bf that I'm going to Canton for some business. But actually I was going back to get married with a college classmate of mine (funny how in reality we were just friends, never even had any fling or chemistry). In the dream the marriage was arranged, so I was not happy at all with the idea. But the thought of meeting my old college friends was comforting - oh Maggie, how I miss you.

Met the future husband at the wedding, he looked so bad now with his tobacco-dyed teeth, deeply-wrinkled forehead, chapped lips, weakly skinny body - he used to be a good-looking and kind-hearted lad back in the days. I instantly cringed and wanted to back out. As more and more guests showed up at the wedding, it came to my realization that they were all those folks I DISLIKE/HATE at college. But I needed to hug them and thank them for showing up.

Thankfully, Maggie was there too. She came back for me! Ever since UK, I've never saw her again. But it slowly became obvious that she came back to Canton just to meet an important public health figure. She would not run away with me from my arranged, utterly miserable wedding.

Frustrated, ignored, I came back to bf with a bruised heart: "I told you I was going to my wedding, have you forgotten?"
