Preparing for my wedding was like walking through a tricky maze, especially because I wanted it to be a kid-free event. I had seen the chaos kids could bring firsthand and didn’t want that at my wedding.
My sister Emily and her son Jack added to the challenge. Emily initially agreed to leave Jack at home, but plans fell through. I suggested alternatives, but she insisted on bringing Jack. I stood firm on my decision for a child-free wedding.
On the big day, Emily showed up with Jack, thinking she had outsmarted me. However, I had hired security guards to enforce the no-kids rule.
It must have been a surprise for her when she couldn’t get in. Though I felt guilty, I knew I made the right choice for my special day.
Despite the tension, I still loved Emily and Jack. I listened to her voicemail messages later, regretting not responding. But on my wedding day, I wanted everything to be perfect.
As I lay in my husband’s arms, I pondered how to mend things with Emily, but for now, I was basking in marital bliss.
