On the wedding day, the church looked beautiful. Flowers lined the aisles, and the decorations were perfect.
It brought tears to my eyes knowing it was all built on a lie, but I wiped them away.
Everything was ready for my surprise.
When I discovered my gown missing, I ran out into the church wearing the dress I had arrived in.
Guests were already seated.
Just as I reached the main entrance, the doors swung open.
Lori walked in wearing my wedding dress.
Nick stood beside her, her hand looped through his arm.
“Surprise!” Lori announced brightly. “We’re getting married instead.”
Some guests gasped.
Others stared at me, waiting for me to fall apart.
My mother stood from the front row and began clapping.
“Well,” she said loudly, “this makes much more sense.”
Two hundred guests looked between us in stunned silence.
I smiled.
“I’m glad you’re all here,” I said. “Because I have a surprise too.”
Nick frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
I signaled the sound technician.
“Play it.”
The lights dimmed.
