He Thought I'd Wait Forever: The 10th Canceled Wedding
1.1k Views · Ongoing · Daisy Swift
Five years into our marriage, we were finally about to have our delayed tenth wedding ceremony.
Just moments before exchanging our vows, my husband, Declan, received a text from his childhood best friend—she had just called off her wedding.
Without a second of hesitation, Declan declared, "Let's do the wedding another day. Sloane is having an emotional breakdown. I can't let her face it alone."
This was the tenth time he had canceled our wedding for the exact same woman.
And when our five-year-old son, Leo, suddenly spiked a high fever and threw up stomach acid on the floor, Declan simply dropped the line, "Leo, you're a big boy. Be strong," and walked away without a single backward glance.
He was entirely convinced that I would do what I had done the previous nine times: gracefully placate the guests on his behalf, take our sick child home, and wait for him.
But he forgot one crucial detail: no one stands in the exact same spot waiting forever.
