They say weddings bring families together, but mine nearly tore us apart. I thought the hardest part was watching my daughter marry my ex-husband… until my son pulled me aside and told me something that changed everything.AdvertisementI never imagined I would live to see my ex-husband marry my daughter. And I certainly never expected the truth to come crashing down on their wedding day — delivered by my son, of all people — in a way so public it made my knees shake.
But let me start at the beginning, because the ending doesn’t make sense without it.I married my first husband, Mark, when I was 20. We weren’t starry-eyed or reckless; we were expected. Our families were old-money, country club people. We both came from comfortable, well-established households in a town where reputations carried weight.
