A wedding is a celebration that is always filled with vibrant moments. But sometimes they may turn out to be quite different from what the participants had planned. These people shared stories that have that emotional intensity.
It was 2009. My best friend was getting married and had a beach ceremony across the country. I don’t know what I was thinking, but I packed a flowing, see-through white dress into my suitcase and flew out.
Only at the hotel did it dawn on me that it was very wrong. I went looking for a shopping mall, but it was Black Friday and there were crowds of people sweeping everything in their path. In short, I didn’t buy anything.
