My Bride's Ex Came to Elope With Her
“Do you take this woman to be your wife? For richer or poorer, in sickness and health, will you remain faithful to her for the rest of your life?”
I looked at Bridget with deep affection and was just about to speak.
“Wait!” shouted someone urgently.
I turned around in confusion and looked toward the audience. There stood a man holding a baby in his arms. He said pleadingly, “Bridget, our child is hungry… could we pause the wedding for a moment?”
Hearing this, everyone erupted in an uproar.
It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck me. Only then did I realize that Bridget had a child with another man.
Bridget hurried off the stage, then turned to me coldly and said, “I only agreed to marry you out of obligation. But the moment Vernon appeared, I knew it. There’s no one else I want to marry but him.”
So, she took off the ring and dragged the man away without looking back.
I stood alone at the end of the aisle and clutched the undelivered ring in my hand, as a flood of bitterness crashed through every corner of my heart.
