My wedding day was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. The air was filled with excitement and joy. The church was adorned with beautiful flowers.

I stood before the altar, about to say “I do” to the man of my dreams. But I had no idea that that day was about to take a turn that would chill my blood.
Everything was perfect. My boyfriend, Daniel, looked incredibly handsome in his tuxedo. I felt like a princess in my white dress.

Our friends and family were gathered, waiting to witness our union. Among them was Lisa, Daniel’s childhood friend. I had come to respect and trust her. She was always there to support us.

Just as the priest was about to ask us to exchange our vows, our photographer, Mark, a highly reputable professional, suddenly shouted, “Stop!”
The word echoed throughout the church, causing a wave of confusion and concern. All eyes turned to Mark, who held his camera aloft, his face pale.
“What does this mean?” Daniel asked, his voice filled with anger and disbelief.

Mark glanced nervously at the crowd, then at me. “I have to teach you all something. It’s crucial.”
She walked to the altar and connected her camera to a projector. Silence fell over the guests as an image appeared on the large screen. It was a photograph of Daniel and Lisa, locked in a passionate kiss. Exclamations and murmurs filled the room. My heart pounded in my chest, and a wave of nausea washed over me.

In fact, I knew what was about to happen and couldn’t believe Margaret had decided to go through with it. However, her dark plan was about to unravel, but not before Lisa and I put on a little show.
Daniel’s face turned ashen. “This… this isn’t real,” he stammered. “Honey, you have to believe me.”
Lisa, standing in the crowd, exchanged glances with me, knowing what was about to happen. She turned to the guests, her eyes wide with horror. “I swear this has never happened before.”
“So how do you explain the photo?” I asked, my voice trembling.

Daniel stepped forward and took my hand. “You have to believe me,” he said, his voice trembling. “I would never do this to you.”
I could see the truth in their eyes, but the damage was already done. The guests were already whispering; doubt and suspicion were spreading like wildfire. My mind raced.

But then I turned away from the screen and confronted someone the guests never expected me to face in this situation. “How could you?” I demanded, my voice trembling with a mixture of anger and betrayal. But I wasn’t looking at Daniel or Lisa. I was looking at my mother-in-law, Margaret.
Margaret had been skeptical about the wedding from the start. She often dropped subtle hints that it would never happen.

“Are you sure he’s ready for this?” she would ask me, her tone full of doubt. At family dinners, she would casually remark, “Weddings can be such fleeting events.” Her words always left me with a nagging feeling, but I ignored them, hoping they were harmless comments.
She mentioned Daniel’s past relationships and said, “He’s had so many girlfriends, hasn’t he? It’s hard to keep track of him.”

When we talked about wedding plans, she would sigh and say, “You’re putting in so much effort. What if something changes at the last minute?” Her constant disavowals created an air of uncertainty, but I tried to stay positive, believing that her doubts stemmed from worry.
Margaret’s skepticism wasn’t limited to words. Sometimes she would forget important details about the wedding, such as the date or the venue, and act as if they were secondary.

“Oh, when is it again? I can’t keep up,” she said with a dismissive gesture. Her behavior unsettled me, but I attributed it to her personality.
But he didn’t know that his skepticism concealed a deeper, more malicious intention.
Margaret’s face transformed into a mask of feigned innocence. “What are you talking about, dear?”

“Don’t play innocent with me,” I snapped. “Lisa told me everything.”
I remember the day Lisa first told me about Margaret’s plot. It was a few weeks before the wedding, and we were sitting in my living room, drinking tea and going over the final details. The air was filled with the scent of jasmine, and I felt relaxed and confident that everything was falling into place.

Lisa seemed nervous, her fingers fidgeting with the handle of the mug. She took a deep breath and said, “I have to tell you something.”
I looked up, surprised by the serious tone of his voice. “What’s this about, Lisa?”
She hesitated, glancing down at her tea. “It’s about your future mother-in-law, Margaret. She approached me with a… request.”

My heart skipped a beat. “What kind of request?”
“He wanted me to kiss Daniel,” Lisa confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. “He said that if I did, and made sure you saw it, he’d make sure the wedding never happened. He thinks I’m better suited for him.”
She sighed, tears welling in her eyes. “I didn’t want to ruin everything. I thought if I ignored her, it would all blow over. But she’s persistent. When I refused, she went to Mark with a plan to create a fake photo.”

The room fell silent as Lisa recounted her story, and all eyes turned to Margaret. Her face flushed red with anger and shame. “That’s absurd! How dare you accuse me of such a thing?”
Mark stepped forward, raising his hands. “I was given a large sum of money to create this photo. It seemed strange to me, but Margaret convinced me it was for a good cause. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize the full extent of her plan.”

My eyes filled with tears as I felt the weight of the betrayal. Daniel approached me, his eyes filled with sorrow. “I had no idea, I swear.”
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. “Margaret, you tried to destroy my happiness for your own selfish reasons. But you failed. Love and trust are stronger than your deceit.”

With those words, I turned to Daniel. “I believe you,” I said quietly. “And I believe Lisa. Let’s not let her ruin our day.”
Daniel nodded, his eyes shining with relief and love. The guests, now understanding the truth, erupted in applause and cheers. Margaret was escorted out, her plot exposed and her reputation in tatters.

We exchanged our vows, and when I said “I do,” it felt more meaningful than ever. Our love had been tested, and we had emerged stronger. The wedding continued with joy and celebration, a testament to the power of love and trust.
As we danced all night, I glanced at Lisa, who gave me a reassuring smile. She had been by my side when it mattered most, and she knew our bond was unbreakable. The day hadn’t gone exactly as planned, but it had shown me the true strength of the relationships that matter most.

We received an anonymous gift box with balloons at our wedding – Our marriage was destroyed before it even began
At Alyssa and Mark’s garden wedding, a mysterious gift box unexpectedly turned the celebration into a shocking reveal. What was supposed to be a joyous union was shattered by the release of balloons that read “It’s a boy.”
I stood at the edge of the lush, green garden, my white dress billowing gently in the breeze. It was the perfect day I had always imagined. The garden burst with color: pink roses, yellow sunflowers, and tiny white lights twinkling like stars. Everywhere I looked, I saw the smiling faces of friends and family who had come to celebrate.

Beside me, Mark looked very elegant in his suit, and his eyes sparkled with happiness. We had met in our first year of university and had been inseparable ever since. Today wasn’t just about exchanging vows; it was a celebration of all the dreams we had woven together over the years.
My heart swelled with love and anticipation. I had always envisioned working alongside my father at his law firm, but love had taken a different path. Now, looking at Mark, I felt ready to enter this new chapter, fully embracing my role as his partner in life, not just in business.

Everyone seemed so happy, their faces beaming with joy. I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. This was exactly how I had wanted my wedding day to be.
