After running away from home seven years ago to escape a loveless arranged marriage, Kyra Wilder has finally mastered up the courage to be back in her small town of Ruthwell in Washington DC. She’s ready for a second chance with her parents and the people who used to be her friends back in high school and most of all, she’s ready to tell her parents that she’s about to become a bride.
But the small town she lived in hasn’t changed all that much in the past seven years and no one seems to have forgotten her betrayal, or seems anywhere near ready to forgive her for her past mistakes. Everywhere she goes, she’s met with hostility and anger and it’s thinning out her chances of redemption ever second. Now, how does she tell her parents and her friends that not only has she moved on in her life, further than anyone had ever anticipated, but she’s happy and successful in what she does? And amid all the truths and revelations, how does she tell everyone that she isn’t marrying a man, but the woman of her dreams?

The Bride GL

The days leading up to the wedding were a whirlwind of activity, as Angie, Rika, Gabby, and I threw ourselves into preparations with full force. 


With their help, Gabby and I managed to get everything in order, from choosing the guest list to the card and the flowers. 


As we sat together, poring over the guest list, Angie and Rika voiced their concerns about inviting the whole town to the wedding. 


"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Angie asked, her brow furrowed with worry. "There are still several people who don't like you, Kyra." 


Gabby smiled confidently, her eyes sparkling with determination. 


"Those who want to come to the wedding will come, regardless of what others think," she replied, her voice filled with confidence.
