I Gave Away My Groom at the Wedding
At our wedding ceremony, the four-year-old nephew of my fiance, Michael Thompson, suddenly rushes onto the stage. He grabs his uncle's hand and cries, "Daddy, why are you marrying another woman? Don't you want me and Mommy anymore?"
Seeing this, Lisa Jenner quickly runs over to intervene. She sounds apologetic, but her words are slightly provocative.
"I'm so sorry, Sarah. Danny lost his father when he was little and has always seen Michael as his dad. He didn't mean to cause trouble."
Even Michael remains completely calm as he picks up Danny. He explains to me, "Before David passed away, he made me promise to take care of his widow and child. I only let Danny call me 'Daddy' so he could have a normal childhood. You understand, right?"
As I look at the three of them, standing there like the perfect family, I laugh coldly and rip off my veil.
"This poor child has been through so much. How could I possibly steal his dad away?
"You know what? Why don't I just let Lisa take my place up here? Then you can have your happy little family of three."
