As their wedding day approached, the couple was filled with a mix of excitement and nerves. They couldn’t wait to celebrate their love with friends and family. The joy in the air was almost tangible. But, hidden beneath all this happiness, a dark plan was brewing, fueled by jealousy and secret emotions.
Just a week before the big day, something unexpected happened. One of the bridesmaids, consumed by envy, decided to stir up trouble. She secretly took a photo of the bride wearing her wedding dress and sent it to the groom.
Her intention was clear: to plant seeds of doubt and play on old superstitions, casting a shadow over their upcoming union.
When the groom received the image, he was shocked and unsettled. A wave of unease washed over him. The old superstition that it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the ceremony echoed in his mind. He thought, “What if this brings us bad luck? Can we risk it?”
Haunted by these fears, the groom grappled with his emotions. After much inner turmoil, he made a heartbreaking decision. He called the bride and said, “I… I think we need to postpone the wedding.”
The bride was devastated and confused. “What? Why?” she cried, tears welling up in her eyes.
“I received a photo of you in your dress,” he explained, his voice shaky. “It’s bad luck. I don’t want to start our marriage under a dark cloud.”
She was stunned. “Who would do this?” she wondered aloud, but the groom had no answers.
In the months that followed, the once close-knit group of friends began to drift apart. The betrayal and emotional turmoil took their toll. The couple decided to postpone their wedding indefinitely. They needed time to heal and to distance themselves from the toxic influence that had disrupted their lives.
A year later, with the pain behind them, the couple emerged stronger and more committed than ever. They realized that their love was stronger than any superstition. The groom approached the bride and said, “I was foolish to let a superstition come between us. Will you marry me, for real this time?”
She smiled warmly, tears glistening in her eyes. “Yes,” she replied. “Let’s do it our way.”
This time, they chose to have a more intimate ceremony, inviting only their closest friends and family. The bridesmaid who had tried to sabotage their happiness was no longer a part of their lives. Instead, they surrounded themselves with people who genuinely supported their joy and future together.
On their wedding day, as they exchanged vows, the groom looked into the bride’s eyes and said, “I promise to love and cherish you, no matter what challenges come our way.”
She replied, “And I promise to stand by your side, through thick and thin.”
Their journey had been tough, but it had only made their bond stronger. Together, they stepped into their future, hand in hand, ready to face whatever life had in store for them.
