\n\n\n\nThere, standing in front of all the guests, was David\u2026 my David. The man I had shared my life with for seven years, now pretending to be someone else. It was clear that he was posing as someone different, a husband as groom at wedding I never thought I\u2019d encounter.
\n\n\n\n
That day, like any other, we arrived early to set up before the guests and newlyweds appeared. The hall was buzzing with excitement as guests began arriving, their chatter filling the room. I had just stepped into the restroom when my colleague, Stacy, barged in, her face pale and her voice shaky.\n\n\n\n
\u201cLori, listen,\u201d Stacy said. \u201cI think you should go home.\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy would I do that?\u201d I asked, confused by her sudden concern. \u201cI need this shift, Stacy. What\u2019s going on?\u201d\n\n\n\n She hesitated, clearly nervous. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to like what you see in the hall.\u201d\n\n\n\n Curious and a little worried, I returned to the hall, only to freeze in shock. There, standing proudly as the groom, was David\u2014my husband. He was smiling, holding the hand of another woman. My heart stopped.\n\n\n\n I felt the ground shift beneath me as I ran outside, tears streaming down my face. Stacy followed, trying to console me, but her words barely registered. My world had crumbled in an instant. I looked at the sign outside the hall, which read: \u201cWelcome to the wedding of Kira and Richard.\u201d\n\n\n\n Richard? Who was Richard? David was pretending to be someone else. The betrayal was too much to bear. My tears turned to anger, and I decided to confront him.\n\n\n\n I stormed back into the hall, just as the bride and groom were about to give their first toast. My heart pounded as I grabbed the microphone from David\u2019s hand.\n\n\n\n \u201cI have an announcement!\u201d I said, my voice shaking. The room went silent as all eyes turned to me.\n\n\n\n \u201cThis man, standing before you, is not who he claims to be,\u201d I said. \u201cHis name isn\u2019t Richard\u2014it\u2019s David. And he\u2019s my husband.\u201d\n\n\n\n Gasps echoed through the hall. The bride, Kira, stared at David in disbelief. \u201cRichard\u2026? What is she talking about?\u201d she asked, her voice trembling.\n\n\n\n David\u2014or Richard\u2014tried to deny it, but the evidence was undeniable. I pulled out my phone and showed a picture of us on our wedding day. Kira\u2019s tears began to flow as the realization hit her.\n\n\n\n
