After losing his wife, Jim finally finds happiness with Emily, but blending families isn\u2019t easy.\n
\u201cI met Emily three years after my wife\u2019s death,\u201d Jim recalls. Introducing her to his daughter, Amy, was crucial. \u201cIt\u2019s just that as much as we\u2019re doing this, I can only continue this relationship if you get along with my daughter,\u201d he told Emily. Thankfully, they hit it off. Amy was thrilled.\n
Two years later, Jim proposed. As wedding plans unfolded, Amy was excited to be the flower girl. However, Emily suggested her nephew take the role. \u201cNo, Emily. Amy is my daughter and she\u2019ll be the flower girl,\u201d Jim insisted.\n
The night before the wedding, Jim overheard Emily\u2019s bridesmaids plotting to lock Amy in a room. \u201cEmily said she cannot stand seeing Amy,\u201d one bridesmaid said. Anger surged through Jim. He had to protect his daughter.\n
On the wedding day, Jim found Amy and decided she would walk down the aisle with him. When Emily saw Amy, she was furious. Jim confronted her. \u201cEmily, I thought you loved Amy as much as you claimed to love me. But your actions show otherwise.\u201d\n
Jim called off the wedding. \u201cThis wedding is off. I will not marry someone who would hurt my child.\u201d\n
The guests applauded as Jim, holding Amy\u2019s hand, led her down the aisle. The next day, over breakfast, Amy asked, \u201cAre you sure it was a good idea not to marry Emily?\u201d\n
\u201cYes, sweetheart,\u201d Jim reassured. \u201cI did right by you.\u201d\n
