Weddings are meant to be joyful occasions, but as I saw Shanize walk towards the altar, I felt a tight knot in my stomach. Something felt off, and I couldn’t shake it off. When I finally moved to lift her gown, the truth I discovered left me completely stunned.
I’ve known Dave for more than 30 years. We grew up side by side, shared our secrets, and laughed through those awkward teenage moments. So, when he told me he was marrying Shanize, this beautiful and graceful woman he met just a year ago, I was really happy for him.
Honestly, I never thought anyone could settle him down, but here we were on his wedding day.
The ceremony was flawless — almost too flawless. Shanize looked like she had come straight out of a bridal magazine, her long white dress flowing down the aisle. I should have been captivated by the beauty of it all, but something felt off.
