Summary: Elena Gilbert is marrying Stefan Salvatore, but is she making the right choice?

Hi everyone, this is just a quick wee note to say that I have three chapters written for this story and a very small fourth chapter. However, I have an idea which I can use so there could be a few more chapters left. So please, read and review. Also, if you would like to read more chapters following my new idea then please say! That's about everything so enjoy!

Elena Gilbert found herself standing in a daze in front of the mirror. As she looked at her reflection she noticed how the stunning, pure white dress hugged her curves in a way which made her figure look both sexy and extremely elegant.

As her gaze travelled upwards it paused at the diamond earrings hanging delicately from her ears, despite their size. She smiled at the thought of her mother wearing them on her wedding day. Whilst they had been her mother's something new, they were both Elena's something old and borrowed.

Her gaze travelled further still until it reached her hair. It had been curled, much to her discomfort, but as it lay atop her head with only a few curls framing her face she couldn't see any resemblance to her vampire ancestor. Whilst this may seem untrue; to an onlooker Elena and Katherine were identical, Elena knew differently.

Someone had once told her that she looked nothing like Katherine. As he said this she had scoffed and mocked him but then he pierced her with his fiery gaze and told her she could not be more different to Katherine. Even from across a room his gaze could do strange things to her insides, it could make her feel like he was looking into her soul and it unsettled her because no one had ever looked at her with such passion and utter devotion before, and probably never would. He had told her how exactly she differed to Katherine, each difference punctuated with a step in her direction, until he was a mere inch away from her. As his hand delicately caressed her cheek he had leaned forward, closer still, and whispered in her ear that the biggest difference between them were their eyes; Elena's were warm and so alive with emotions whilst Katherine's were cold and hard.

Elena's gaze landed on the butterfly hair pin which was clasped in her hair just above her right ear. It had been a gift from Caroline and Bonnie and served as her something new and something blue. Her gaze travelled over her face and she saw how her features had been accentuated with a light touch of make-up. She stepped back from the mirror to have one final look at herself and couldn't help but think she looked perfect. Well, almost perfect. The only problem with her reflection was the expression that was painted on her face.

Normally, on one's wedding day the bride's face is gleeful and joyous but these words couldn't be used to describe hers. Her lips were curved down slightly into a frown and her eyes were tinged with such sadness and anguish that she wondered if it was in fact her wedding day. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, so, why wasn't it? Why did she want to run away and never look back?

Caroline and Bonnie were beginning to wonder what had happened to the bubbly and lively Elena Gilbert they used to know. As they watched the bride move around the suite, they couldn't help but feel saddened by the fact that their best friend was about to make one of the biggest mistakes of her life and she didn't even realise it. The hardest part was knowing they couldn't do anything about it. Elena was extremely headstrong and didn't change her mind for anyone. Well, technically not anyone. She had changed her mind on several occasions for one person and one person only. She had once told him he had lost her forever. Apparently, forever has a very different time span for Elena Gilbert because forever had only lasted a few months before she forgave him and their relationship was reconstructed.

Bonnie and Caroline have had, and probably will have, so many issues with him but, hell, who hasn't? However, they have pushed their issues aside because he's the only one who can bring the old Elena back into the world. So, despite all of the arguments between the group about the outcome of their plan, they had taken it upon themselves to invite him to the event that everyone knew he definitely didn't want to see, in the hope that he might be able to prevent it.

Caroline watched as Elena's face slowly began to get sadder and sadder as the time of the big event drew closer and so, when her phone finally buzzed signalling his arrival, herself and Bonnie quickly came up with an excuse to leave the suite.

Elena looked at the door Bonnie and Caroline had just left through but when she looked back to the mirror she was startled to see more than one reflection there. She spun around clutching at her heart at the sight of him, Damon Salvatore.
