Son’s wedding reveals a shocking family secret that leaves mother speechless
Martha was eagerly waiting for her son’s wedding in Fargo, North Dakota. She hadn’t seen Mark since he moved to New York four long years ago, in search of a more lucrative job opportunity. Unfortunately, Martha was in the dark about her son’s new life in the big city, leaving her no clue about what her soon-to-be daughter-in-law would be like.
Mark was going to marry a woman Martha had never met before. However, as the bride walked down the aisle, Martha was struck by how familiar she looked. And it wasn’t until the bride reached the altar that Martha realized, in shock, that the bride was not a stranger at all; instead of marrying a lovely stranger he met in New York, her son was marrying someone from her own bloodline – her daughter!
The news came as a shock to Martha, and she didn’t know what to do. Her mind was racing with confusion, and she couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed. Martha sat in stunned silence, trying to process what was happening. Should she stop the wedding or let them carry on? The scariest part is that she only found out when they were already giving the vows… What should she do now?! And how can she possibly explain this?
Martha had been counting down the days until her son’s wedding. She had been looking forward to it for months, planning what she was going to wear and what she would say in her speech. She hadn’t seen Mark in four years since he had moved to New York for a new job, but they spoke on the phone regularly. He had told her all about his new life in the big city, about his job and his new friends. And most importantly, he had told her about Holly, the woman he had fallen in love with.
Martha missed him dearly, but she was proud of him for following his dreams and making a new life for himself. Even though they were miles apart, Martha and Mark’s bond remained strong. She always made sure to send him care packages filled with his favorite snacks and little gifts to remind him of home. And now, finally, she was going to see him again and meet the woman who had stolen his heart.
Martha had never met Holly, but she felt like she knew her well. Mark had told her so much about her that Martha could draw pictures of her in her mind. She knew that Holly was kind and intelligent, with a great sense of humor. She was beautiful, with long light brown hair and bright blue eyes. Martha was excited to finally meet her daughter-in-law in person and give her a big hug.
Mark had never been one to rush into relationships. He was always very selective when it came to choosing a partner, and he had never felt compelled to introduce any of his previous girlfriends to his mother. Mark had a reputation for being quite picky and ending things before they could get too serious.
