Chapter 4 The Proposal

My ex-husband’s wedding to Karen happened so quickly that the only possible explanation was that they had been planning it for a long time. They had simply waited until the last possible moment to tell everyone. Three months later, Karen got married in a huge celebration, exactly the kind of wedding I had always dreamed of having myself.

When I married Carl, we were struggling financially. We had a civil ceremony, and the “reception” was nothing more than lunch at a restaurant. The plan had always been to renew our vows later and finally have the wedding I wanted.

The entire family attended Karen’s wedding, even my aunt, who believed in forgiveness.

Only Camille stayed by my side.

The friends I had while I was married disappeared. Every single one of them took my ex-husband’s side.

Every single one of them attended his wedding.
