I spent months planning my wedding, dreaming of the perfect day surrounded by the people I loved most. But just days before the ceremony, my parents dropped a bombshell: they told me to cancel it. The reason? My sister didn’t “feel up to it” and didn’t want to be around people. Apparently, her mood was more important than my marriage. I couldn’t believe it. I begged them to reconsider, but instead, they doubled down, telling me I was immature for not understanding "family comes first." I chose to go ahead without them, but when they realized I went through with it, what they did next blew up my entire world...
I sat across from Jason, fiddling with my fork as the smell of homemade pasta filled our small kitchen. "They asked me to cancel the wedding," I blurted. Jason paused, his fork hovering just above his plate. "What? Why?" he asked, his voice a mix of disbelief and concern. I explained Madison’s unexpected mood swing and the demand from my parents. He listened intently, nodding occasionally, while I felt a mixture of relief and anger as I spoke.
Jason put his fork down and leaned closer, looking me straight in the eyes. "Katie, we’ve been planning this day for too long to back down now," he said, his tone firm yet comforting. I could see the determination in his eyes. "We’ll go ahead as planned. Your happiness matters too," he added. A sense of calm washed over me as Jason's confidence bolstered my own resolve to move forward despite my family’s insistence.
