We Held 99 Weddings, His Ex was Still the One

At the height of my career, I stepped away from the research world and married my fiancé, Leland LaVeau.

But right when everything was at its sweetest, I found out he had a childhood sweetheart he absolutely hated—a girl he grew up with.

She used to rip up his love letters, change his college applications behind his back, and even take private photos to ruin his reputation.

Every time those things came up, Leland would grit his teeth, like he wished she would disappear forever.
