I Debated My Groom Away

Summary

On my wedding day, my sister Summer—who had a severe stutter and crippling anxiety—challenged me to a debate.

"I love Ryan too, Sadie. I’m sorry," she whispered, her voice trembling.

Before I could even open my mouth, my parents answered for me.

I looked at them, then turned my gaze to the man I had loved for eight years. My fiancé.

"Do you really think I should do this?" I asked him.

Ryan frowned, nodding as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "She overcame her anxiety just to stand here and ask for this, Sadie. I can’t let her down."

Of course. It was always Summer who won.
