The big white dress and the bride that wears it. This day will be one of the happiest days of your life. Or one of the worst.

"Logan Harpton! Get down here now!" Screamed George up to his only son. Logan came running down the stairs as fast as he could to see what his father was so distressed about.

"D...dad wh...whats wrong." Logan panted with little breath he had.

"You have the cheek to break up with one of the richest and wealthiest woman in America and replace her with a middle class cow!" George screamed in rage. Logan stood there in shock of what his father had just said.

"Middle class cow?" Logan began "First of all that rich bitch    Porcha was only with me because of my money, and that was clear as day but Aline loves me because of me not for my money!" Logan screamed back with anger building up in side him. George took no hesitation to raise his hand to his son and strike him across the face.

" Logan!" Aline gasped from behind George. She ran over to Logan who was now on the floor holding the side of his face. George took no notice of the son that he had smaked to the floor, no, instead he looked Aline up and down in descrace if what she was wearing, a black skirt that was above her knees and a strapped top that showed the bottom of her stomach.

"What in the devil's name are you wearing!" Snapped George. Aline took no notice, instead she helped Logan up from the floor. As George was about to reply he got a slight shimmer of light out the corner of his eye. He glanced down. It was an engagement ring on the left hand of Aline.

"No!" Shouted George loud enough for the entire neighborhood to here "I forbid this!"

"Unfortunately you can dad, it's happening weather you like it or not." Logan replied in a calm manner.

"Here you go." Added on Aline. She handed him an invitation to a wedding. The writing was in fine print which read;
" You are invited to the wedding of Logan Harpton and Aline Caster.
Date: Sunday 21st August 2023
Time: 10:00am - 11:00pm

" This wedding is tomorrow?" Said George with confusion.

" Yes I have been with Aline for almost two years now." Said Logan 

"But Porcha?" Wondered George.

" I haven't been with her for almost three years." Replied Logan still calm. His father stood there for what seemed like hours trying to process everything. "Are you coming or not." Logan's voice now had a sharper tone in it. George shot his son a death stare.

"Yes." Said George calmly before walking away. Logan and Aline both looked at each other before shrugging and also walking away.

                                                The wedding day


As both Logan and Aline got ready for their big day all of the guests stood in awe of all the colours in the stain glass windows and the golden statues surrounding them.

"Aline?" George said while walking in the room." I know that I didn't exactly make a great first Impression but I would like to have a second chance if you would let me." 
"Of course family deserves a second chance." Said Aline sweetly.

"How about we have a chat outside to get some fresh air." Replied George. Aline nodded. As they walked outside George slowed down alowing Aline to be ahead of him. Once she was a few steps a head of him he pulled out a glass bottles from the back of his Blazer and struck Aline on the back of the head,knocking her unconscious. He then grabbed her by the back of her neck and dragged into the forest behind the church. George found an enclosed spot and then started hacking at her with a big enough. axe to leave a hole in her dress and in her stomach.

"You'll never infect our family with your poorness ever again." He whispered just in case anyone passing by would hear. He then picked up a shovel that he had hid under leaves and twigs earlier that day. George then started to dig a hole night enough for a small child to fit in. He dragged the corpse of the bride over to the hole and started to cramp her in then throwing the  axe in to get rid of the evidence and then covering back up the hole.
                                          
                                                 The search

After the incident took place George quickly ran back inside making sure that there were no traces of blood on him. He walked through the church doors like nothing happened and sat in the space that was reserved for him. Not long after Logan walked down the isle to the front looking up to see the woman he was going to marry. After a few minutes of waiting people began to panic. Ivan quickly ran down the isle to the room where his future wife was last seen. As soon as he opened the door he could feel the tears behind his eyes begining to rush through. He then ran a quick as he had ever ran in his life out of the church doors.

"Aline!" Logan screamed in pain hoping for an answer. There was no sound. He quickly turned back into the church and shouted        " Everyone outside now, we need to find her!" All of aline's side of the family shout up and it some in tears and some in shock. Logan's side on the other hand got up slowly but still quick enough to seem as though they cared. Everyone started searching, thee were people around the front of the church and round the back and even people in the forest. But George stayed well away from the forest and from aline's family. There was no luck. After a week the police found nothing and came to the conclusion that she had ran away and gave up the search.

                                                         2nd wife


Six weeks filled of depression and dispare later George had organised for Logan to meet a new woman called Maria. She was rich, wealthy and was only beautiful because of needles. She was constantly complaining about everything. Logan was now in deeper depression because of her so he drank a lot, and was slowly killing himself. Later that day in the kitchen Maria was once again complaining but as longan looked up he never saw maria, instead he saw Aline sitting down where Maria was supposed to be, but Aline was smiling and laughing.

"Logan!" Are you even listening!" Shouted Maria in attempt to get his attention. But it didn't work, he was still trying to process what had just happened. He was wondering if he was seeing things or if it was real. But every time he looked back up all he saw was a face so full of Botox that he could just about make out facial expressions. 

That night while Maria and Logan where in bed Maria got up to get a drink. But before she put her foot on the floor she saw a woman in a blood and mud covered wedding dress with rips in facing the wall opposite Logan's and Maria's bed. Maria tried to scream but the more she tried he less noise came out. The woman then began to turn around to face Maria but as the woman faced Maria, she could no longer be seen. Maria was filled to the brim with terror. She then felt a sharp pain across her stomach, as she looked down she saw a big slit through the middle of her stomach. She tried to scream again. Still nothing. She then felt a cold hand around her neck pick her up and take her it the house through into the back garden. More slits began to appear on her body and more painful screams building up at the back of her throat. With little life left inside her she turned her head t the side to see the back of the woman in the wedding dress begin to dig a hole. Then there was nothing but darkness.

                                                      Move on

The next morning when Logan woke up he turned round in his bed to see the most shocking sight... Aline asleep next to him. He blinked a couple of times and each time he blinked she would fade a bit more until she was gone. The where about a of Maria didn't bother him. Until he went down stairs and realized that the house was too quiet.
"Maria!" Shouted Logan from the dining room. No answer. Logan ran to the phone and decided to call the police. The police soon arrived and began to search . They soon came to the back garden  where one of the officers found a patch of dirt that had recently been dug. The officers began to dig and dig and son they found Maria. The officers interviewed everyone including the nebiourghs and Logan no one knew nothing. The price son came to the conclusion that it was a silent murder.l
" I'm sorry kid but it's best for everyone if you just move on." The police officer said to Logan. But Logan's mind was not in the scene that had just happened, instead he was thinking about what he saw this morning and how real it felt.
"I just need to move on." He thought to himself.


                                                      3rd wife

Only two weeks past and it seemed that Logan's father was more eager to make Logan marry a rich woman.
"Logan I would like you to meet Alexandra." George said happily. Logan barley glanced up from the table. George slammed his hand on the table fixing Logan to look up at this woman who clearly didn't care about what she looked like. She had spots all over her face, her makeup was patchy and she had a sour look on her face. This was no woman, this was a monster. Side her were two young boys no older than twenty years of age. But they had bruises and scars all over their faces. Logan shot them both a confused look. The boy the the right of this creature looked at Logan and then back at Alexandra. It didn't take long for Logan to catch on. She was and abusive monster.

A week or so later had been the closest to hell that he had felt in a while. There was no question about it, this monster was a gold digger. Every day she would spend at least eight hundred pounds or more on herself and no one else. The next day she asked Logan for two thousand pounds to buy a new necklace. Logan quickly got up and said no. Alexandra followed closely behind.
"Logan!" She screamed while turning him round to face her and then pushing him up against the wall. As he just past Alexandra he saw her again, Aline standing in a Grey T-shirt and sweat pants covering her mouth with a tissue and crying. Logan just blinked in disbelief and with that Aline was gone.
"Logan, listen to me!" Alexandra screamed again just before she slapped him. As Logan began to look up again he got one of the most disturbing sights he had ever seen. Instead of seeing Aline he saw the same woman that Maria had seen. She was facing the wall opposite Logan and Alexandra. Her vail was ripped, filled with blood and mud, and the same went for her dress.
"Logan!" Alexandra screamed again before hitting him again but this time making his nose bleed. The woman in the dress spun round faster than a tornado, but as she did Logan could no longer see her.
"Pay attention to me!" Screamed Alexandra while clutching his throat. And with that Alexandra flew across the room into the cabinet filled with glass ornaments. The woman once again turned around with her back to Logan but this time she was only two steps away from him. He didn't dare move. The woman began to walk towards Alexandra who was in crippling pain. But the woman did not walk normally, she walked with a limp like her ankle was about to snap off. The woman soon reached Alexandra and lifted her right arm. And in her hand was a axe. She brought it down upon Alexandra's chest just about missing her heart. She did that multiple times before stopping and turning around again so Logan could not see her. He still didn't move. He could see Alexandra lying eyes and mouth wide open each limb of her body ripped open.

                                                 A dead end

 Logan opened his mouth thinking he was going to shout for help but instead he said quiet enough to for a mouse to here
"Who?" He didn't know why he said that. Logan then felt a cold hand on the side of his face wiping the blood from his nose. This hand felt some what familiar and comforting. No more found he hold it in. The tears from the back of his eyes burst through and he shouted
"Aline!" From the right ear he felt a warm draft. He turned his head to the side to see that the living room door was open with the fire burning bigger than it ever had before, with the woman in the wedding dress facing it. He walked slowly towards her but didn't speak. Logan stood a few feet behind her. After a few minutes of awkward silence the woman moved her arm and pointed to the floor next to her.
"D... Do you w... Want me to stand t... There?" Logan asked more scared than he had ever been. From behind he could see that she was nodding. Slowly and carefully he inched his way towards her. In her right hand he could see the axe but in the other he saw a tissue. Once again the woman turned to face him. He stood in shock as he didn't know what was about to happen. He then felt a damp tissue touch the underneath of his nose wiping away the rest of the blood. He hadn't felt This loved in a while, ever since Aline was alive. In his left ear he felt a warm breath say
"I do." He knew that voice any day, it was the beloved voice of his wife Aline. And he simply said back
"I do." And with that he felt a pair of soft lips meet his.
The next thing he remembered was standing at the alter of the church looking into the emerald green eyes of Aline his wife and best friend. And there they remaind. But it was never till death do them part.
