Selena’s wedding day shimmered with perfection, until she caught her pregnant sister-in-law slipping a wedding gift beneath her dress. What she found inside that box upon confrontation cracked her joy like glass and made her question the very foundation of her marriage. The ballroom breathed with life, a symphony of love and celebration.
White fairy lights cascaded from the ceiling, casting a magical glow on hundreds of faces. I stood at the center of it all, my white wedding gown a statement of pure joy, my husband Alan’s hand warm in mine. Our first dance had just ended.
