A bride-to-be ends her engagement when her fiancé and family favor her sister over her.
On the eve of her wedding, the protagonist discovers her fiancé Julian Hayes would choose her younger sister Vivian if given the option. Their mutual friend confirms Vivian understands Julian better, staying up with him during arguments. Even the protagonist's mother Margaret dismisses the slight as natural, noting Vivian never complains. Every wedding detail — dress, flowers, music, menu — reflects Vivian's preferences. Realizing her name is the only personal element in the ceremony, the protagonist decides the marriage has no purpose and walks away.
