While serving at a wedding, I suddenly spotted the groom\u2014it was my husband, David. Seeing him with another woman, pretending to be someone else, sent my world crashing down. In that moment, everything I thought I knew about my life was turned upside down.\n Weddings always stirred up memories, bringing me back to the day David and I exchanged vows. Our wedding was simple, nothing extravagant, but it was filled with love. After seven years of marriage, I still cherished those moments.\n As a waitress for a catering company, I was used to working weddings. That day seemed no different\u2014until my colleague Stacy burst into the restroom, looking pale.\n “Lori, listen,” she said, her voice shaky. “I think you should go home.”\n “Go home? Why would I do that?” I frowned.\n Stacy hesitated before whispering, “You\u2019re not going to like what you see.”\n Confused and uneasy, I walked back to the hall. And then I saw him. Standing at the front, dressed as a groom, was David\u2014my David.\n I felt the air leave my lungs. My legs shook as I turned and ran outside, gasping for breath. My mind refused to accept what I had just seen. When I looked at the wedding sign, my heart stopped: “Welcome to the wedding of Kira and Richard.” Richard?\n Stacy followed, her face full of sympathy, but I couldn\u2019t listen. Rage replaced my shock. I wasn\u2019t going to let him get away with this.\n I stormed back inside. The bride and groom were giving their first toast when I snatched the microphone from David\u2019s hand. His face turned pale.\n \u201cI have an announcement!\u201d My voice rang through the hall. Silence fell. \u201cDavid\u2014oh, I\u2019m sorry, Richard\u2014is already married. To me!\u201d\n Gasps rippled through the crowd. The bride, Kira, clutched his arm. \u201cRichard\u2026 what is she talking about?\u201d\n \u201cI\u2026 I don\u2019t know her,\u201d he stammered.\n \u201cOh really?\u201d I pulled out my phone, showing a wedding photo of us. The hall fell into deeper silence.\n Kira\u2019s face crumpled as she backed away. \u201cHow could you lie to me?\u201d Tears streamed down her face.\n \u201cKira, please,\u201d he begged.\n But she shook her head, turning and running out. Without thinking, David\u2014Richard\u2014chased after her, leaving me standing there.\n I followed, ready to confront him. But when I found him outside, he was sitting on the curb, sobbing.\n \u201cYou ruined everything!\u201d he spat.\n \u201cI ruined everything?\u201d I laughed bitterly. \u201cYou married another woman while still being married to me!\u201d\n \u201cI\u2019m not your husband!\u201d he shouted.\n Before I could argue, I dialed David\u2019s number. It rang\u2014and then I heard his voice.\n “Yes, dear. Is everything okay?”\n My blood ran cold. I turned to the man in front of me, my mind spinning. If David was answering\u2026 who was this?\n Thirty minutes later, my real husband arrived. When he and Richard stood face to face, the truth hit us all at once. They were identical. Twins.\n As it turned out, they had been separated at birth, adopted by different families. Neither had known about the other.\n Richard sighed. \u201cWell, if I were in your shoes, I would\u2019ve done the same.\u201d\n Kira, however, was still heartbroken. We rushed to her hotel, trying to explain. At first, she wouldn\u2019t listen, but when she finally saw the two men standing side by side, her eyes widened.\n \u201cHow is this possible?\u201d she whispered.\n \u201cWe were separated in the orphanage,\u201d Richard explained.\n For a moment, she just stared. Then, without a word, she shut the window. Our hearts sank.\n \u201cSee? She\u2019ll never forgive me,\u201d Richard muttered.\n But then, the hotel door burst open. Kira ran out, tears streaming, and threw herself into Richard\u2019s arms.\n David pulled me close, his eyes full of love. \u201cI think after seven years of marriage, it\u2019s nice to know you\u2019d still fight for me.\u201d\n I laughed, kissing him. In the end, my husband gained a brother, and I gained a friend I never knew I needed.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While serving at a wedding, I suddenly spotted the groom\u2014it was my husband, David.
