My mother-in-law invited me to my husband’s wedding, and the surprise she made the groom run away from the hall!
My name is Nermin. I married Khaled after a love story that lasted for years. We lived together for 15 years, through thick and thin. I supported him until he became a respected man. But, as they say, « Beware of those you have helped. » As soon as he got rich, his behavior changed, and my mother-in-law started turning him against me, saying, « Nermin is getting old and no longer suitable for you. You are a wealthy man now and deserve a young bride to show off. »
Only a few months passed before Khaled surprised me with his decision to marry a girl twenty years his junior. Not only that, but my mother-in-law sent me the wedding invitation, smiling smugly and saying, “Come and see the difference between you and the ‘beauty queen’ my son has chosen. The hall will be full of important people, so don’t come in your old clothes.”
At that moment, I didn’t cry or break down. Instead, I decided to go, not as a broken wife, but as a woman who knew how to reclaim her dignity. I went to the wedding looking my absolute best, so much so that the guests were whispering about my elegance and composure. Khaled was looking at me with a mixture of astonishment and fear, while my mother-in-law was trying to ignore me as she proudly showed off the new bride, who was wearing the most expensive jewelry.
Before the wedding procession began, I asked the photographer to play a small flash drive, telling him it was a souvenir from me to the bride and groom. The hall went dark, and the large screen started displaying images. These weren’t pictures of memories, but rather security camera footage and photos documented with contracts.
