Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
Okay...well before I get to the plot here, I really have to first point out the spelling and the punctuation here. Normally I'm not one to address grammar because its something that is normally just automatically dealt with in later drafts, but here the number of issues are so high that it is hindering the understanding of the piece quite severely and that isn't a very good sign, especially on a piece that is as small as this one happens to be.
Moving past those particular problems, we then come to the whole situation surrounding the plot here. It is a little confusing to follow, and not just necessarily from all the spelling issue. We've got jumping between scenes that's happening a little bit too fast to really follow and it just doesn't quite seem to be presenting any of the scenes too clearly either.
That being said the little bits that I did successfully manage to decipher from this did manage to be very promising. I think you've really got something pretty good on your hands here. I certainly would love to see what this could become with some work. This does need quite a lot of work, but the idea is intriguing enough that pursuing this would be a worthwhile task I think.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.

One little word. There is not a single bit of punctuation in this work! It makes it all run together like a single sentence, and that really doesn't work well.
Oh, one more thing, please work on your spelling and other grammar. Most people can't stand reading a piece of work that has had no thought whatsoever put into it.
Hope it helps!

Welcome to YWS! Pleased to have you with us
Unfortunately I'm going to have to be ruthless here. As it stands, this is just one big run-on sentence. Where are the full stops and punctuation marks?! If I tried to read this out loud, I'd have lost my breath and fainted well before the end. So we're going to have to fix that up before we go any further.
Secondly, spell check is your friend! There are several misspelled words in here which are really not necessary -- please run your posts through the spell checker in future before you submit them, it makes it easier on everyone, since you wont have to put up with a lot of ribbing and we wont have to try to interpret what you're saying in order to critique. 'Kay?
Now. From what I have read, you have an interesting idea here. The main character is - I'm assuming - a ghost, who was killed on her wedding day and now haunts her fiance. Being the romantic that I am (and a lover of ghost stories) I'm immediately hooked by this; however, at the moment, I really have no clue what's going on beyond what I just told you. Why? Well, not only is it a big horrible mess (sorry) so far as punctuation and layout are concerned, but you really jump around a lot. There's no thread of story here for me to follow! I need to know what's going on in order to want to read on, but right now there is nothing which links the first sentence with the last except the use of "I" and a vague idea of death and weddings and love. OK? So if I were you, I'd sort out what you want to show and say in this first scene, and then write it out coherently - i.e. in some form of order (chronological usually works best). So, instead of saying "My chest hurt so badly I..." etc., say, "As I fell an agonizing pain tore through my chest" or whatever.
Basically, I want to know where we are, what is happening, whom it is happening to, and why. I want, in other words, DESCRIPTION. I like the description you have - about the rag doll, and the line about happiness not being "a friend of mine", that was awesome. But I need a bit more. Who is Will? What does he look like? Where is the piano and what does it have to do with the story? Where are we? What year is it? And so on.
Flesh this out more, use some basic grammar and punctuation (and formatting) and you will have an awesome beginning on your hands.
Looking forward to seeing more,
Cheers,
