Family is supposed to provide constant support during our most difficult moments, but life can present us with great challenges. As Leah’s wedding date came, tragedy struck: her sister’s husband and son died just days before the ceremony. Despite her intense suffering, Leah’s sister asked her to cancel the wedding, but she determined to proceed. What came next was a fascinating and terrible event. Here, Leah shares her story.
Six days before my wedding, my sister’s husband and eight-year-old kid were killed in a collision. She urged me to cancel, but I protested, “I cannot give up my day. We’ve already paid for everything. She was silent. On the big day, when we were all dancing, my sister arrived amid the crowd, laughing uncontrollably. Then all of a sudden, we hear a loud bang as all of the lights in the party venue turn off at once, and the music quickly stops. I was horrified to see her son and husband’s images emerge on the enormous projection wall that exhibited our wedding photos. In that instant, I realised she had planned to destroy my big day.
My sister then stepped up on stage and took the microphone, stating to me, “You’re up here dancing and partying while your little nephew died less than a week ago.” “Shame on you!” Before departing the platform, she said, “When you have kids of your own, I will treat them with the same indifference you treated mine!” Everyone went silent after that, and the visitors began to leave shortly after. My day was completely wrecked. Was I to be blamed?Leah
