kaycee sat at the table, ignoring the chaos around her as she sat still in her pj's staring at the garden right outside the window.

"i need a minute, i'll get ready soon." she whispered, a sad tone in her voice.

"kaycee? what's wrong? you're not getting cold feet are you? you can't get cold feet! this is the most important day of your life munch!" the main wedding planner if kaycee was being truthful, tricia, exclaimed, her loud voice echoing throughout the room.

"no, i just need a minute." the woman whispered hesitantly, looking up at the concerned looking women around her.

it's not that she didn't want to marry him,

it's not that she didn't love him.

it's that she still couldn't find the perfect words to depict the way she felt,

to describe the amounts of love and appreciation she had for him.

sure, she knew them like the alphabet, but she just couldn't find the words.
