On my 25th birthday, my boyfriend proposed during our Hawaii vacation, a surprise orchestrated by his family who also handled the wedding planning.
Grateful for their generosity, I walked down the aisle with closed eyes. Upon opening them, shock set in as I saw a woman in a white gown behind my boyfriend.,
Unbeknownst to me, he revealed, “Surprise! Meet my sister, Emily.” Stunned, I tried to comprehend the unexpected turn. Our supposedly exclusive ceremony had transformed into a shared celebration.
Despite the awkwardness, I greeted Emily, attempting to salvage the situation. The ceremony continued with a mix of laughter and congratulations.
