Left Waiting at My Own Wedding

When it came time to bring home the bride, I finally tracked down the wedding shoes they'd hidden.

I'd just crouched to slip them onto Karen Simmons's feet when her phone rang.

The second she answered, her eyes went red with panic.

"Tony, something's happened to Marvin James's wedding car! I'll be right back, I swear I won't hold up the ceremony!"

She snatched up the keys to the new car I'd given her, grabbed the shoes right out of my hands, pulled them on, and ran.

Watching her rush off, my parents nearly fell apart.

"Kari, the bride's feet aren't supposed to touch the ground!"
