[ She might not be able to feel everything her sister feels or even know the entirety of what she is going through, but she feels terrible that they never had the chance to plan their wedding, or even have a wedding. If she could just make everyone around them leave the two of them alone long enough that they might have the wedding they both deserve, she would do it without a second's hesitation.
