I’ll never forget the moment I realized my best friend’s wedding was about to become his worst nightmare. As Shanize walked down the aisle, something nagged at me. Her steps were too measured, her posture too rigid for a blushing bride.
When I finally worked up the courage to peek under her dress, the polished men’s loafers I saw nearly made my heart stop. The collective gasp from the guests echoed through the church as “Shanize” removed her veil to reveal Mark, Dave’s childhood friend.
“This was her idea,” Mark announced, his voice cutting through the stunned silence. The pieces fell into place with brutal clarity – Dave’s affair with bridesmaid Vanessa, Shanize’s discovery days before the wedding, and this meticulously planned humiliation.
As Dave crumpled to his knees, the weight of his betrayal finally hitting him, I realized some mistakes can’t be undone. Some apologies will never be enough. And some wedding dresses hide more than just bridal lingerie.
