Something was wrong, and I couldnt ignore it. When I finally stepped forward to lift her gown, the truth I found left me frozen in shock. Ive known Dave for over 30 years. We grew up together, shared secrets, and laughed through awkward teenage years. So, when he told me he was getting married to Shanize, this stunning, graceful woman he met a year ago, I was thrilled for him. Honestly, I didnt think anyone could ever tie him down, but here we were on his wedding day. The ceremony was perfect — almost too perfect. Shanize looked like she had stepped right out of a bridal magazine, her long white dress gliding down the aisle. I shouldve been lost in the beauty of it all, but something wasnt right. At first, I thought it was just nerves. Weddings are nerve-wracking, right? But as Shanize took one step, then another, I noticed her walking oddly. It wasnt the poised, confident brides walk youd expect. Her steps were small, unsure, almost as if she was stumbling. I leaned over to whisper to Daves sister, Heather. “Do you see that?” I murmured, trying to keep my voice low. Heather frowned, glancing at the aisle. “See what?” she asked, oblivious. “Shanize,” I said, gesturing subtly with my chin. “Shes walking weird. Like… like somethings wrong.” Heather squinted and then shrugged. “Youre overthinking it. Shes just nervous, Janice. I mean, its a big day.” She gave me a reassuring smile, but it didnt calm the uneasy feeling bubbling inside me. Maybe. But something about the way Shanizes dress moved gnawed at me. Was her dress too tight? Had something happened before the ceremony? I tried to push the thoughts away, but as she got closer to the altar, I couldnt ignore it anymore. Her steps werent just slow; they were almost labored. I leaned over again, unable to resist. “Heather, I swear somethings off.” “Janice, stop it,” Heather whispered, her tone sharp. “Youll ruin the moment. Dont make a scene.” I looked back toward the altar. Dave was standing there, his eyes sparkling with love. When our eyes met, he gave me a thumbs-up and mouthed, “Can you believe it?” I forced a smile back at him, nodding, but inside, something wasnt sitting right. The closer Shanize came to the altar, the more unsettled I felt. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who noticed. “Shes gliding!” someone whispered behind me, a mans voice laced with amusement. Something about that comment chilled me to my core. I leaned in toward Heather again, my voice barely above a whisper. “Did you hear that? Gliding? Thats exactly it. Shes not walking right.” “Janice, for Gods sake,” Heather hissed, her patience thinning. “Youre going to embarrass Dave. Stop acting like this!” But I couldnt stop. As Shanize drew nearer, I squinted at her feet, trying to make sense of it. The flow of her dress was unnatural. I couldnt take it anymore. My body moved before my mind could catch up. “I have to check,” I muttered, stepping forward. I heard Heathers sharp intake of breath as I edged past her, my eyes locked on the bride. “Janice!” Heather hissed behind me, her voice tight with panic. But it was too late. I was already there. My heart pounded, and my hands trembled as I reached out. The world seemed to slow down as I bent over and lifted the hem of Shanizes gown just a few inches. I wasnt even sure what I expected to see — maybe some malfunction with her shoes or a wardrobe mishap. But what I found defied all logic. The entire church fell into stunned silence. Underneath the beautiful white gown was something so out of place and shocking that my mind went blank for a second. Mens shoes. Large, polished mens shoes. I blinked, half convinced I was hallucinating. I glanced up, but no one moved. No one breathed. Shanize — no, this person — didnt react, but I did. I knelt down further and looked closer. My stomach churned as I noticed the fabric of the suit pants, slightly hidden by the dress. And then, my eyes darted upward to the face. Thats when I realized. This wasnt Shanize. It was a man. A man in a wig, a veil covering most of his features, but now that I was up close, I could see the truth. My throat went dry. I stood, my hands trembling at my sides, and met Daves eyes. “Janice…?” Daves voice wavered, his happiness crumbling into confusion as he watched me. “Whats going on?” I didnt know how to answer him. For a moment, no one moved. The entire church was frozen, mouths agape, eyes locked on the man standing at the altar, dressed as the bride. The weight of what Id uncovered hung in the air like a bomb waiting to explode. Dave’s face was pale, his eyes wide, darting between me, the man in the wedding dress, and the confused guests. He staggered backward, nearly tripping over his own feet.  “What… What the hell is this?” His voice cracked, thick with disbelief. The guests started whispering, their voices like a swarm of bees filling the room.  The man in the dress — the fake Shanize — stood tall, a smirk spreading across his face. Slowly, deliberately, he reached up and pulled the veil from his head, letting it drop to the ground. The wig came off next with a flourish, revealing short, dark hair. The transformation was complete, and the church erupted in confused chatter. “Surprise,” he said, his voice filled with smug satisfaction. “You didnt even notice, did you?” Dave blinked, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. “Wheres Shanize?” he demanded, his voice barely holding together. “Where is she?!” The man — Daves best man — chuckled, shaking his head. “Shes gone, Dave. Left days ago. But dont worry, she knew about this. Shes the one who asked me to do it.” The murmurs in the church grew louder, and I could hear people shifting uncomfortably in their seats. I stood there, numb, unable to process what I was hearing. Daves best friend — the one standing there in Shanizes wedding dress — had been in on this? Daves face twisted in confusion and anger. “What the hell are you talking about? What did you do to her?” His voice rose in panic as he stepped forward, his fists clenched. “Where is she?!” The best man held up a hand, signaling for calm, though his eyes glinted with triumph. “Oh, shes safe. Dont worry. But she wanted you to feel this moment, Dave. She wanted you to know what its like to be blindsided.” Daves confusion deepened. “What are you talking about?” The best man smiled a cold, sharp smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “She found out, Dave. About you and Vanessa.” His voice dropped to a near-whisper, the words dripping with malice. “The bridesmaid youve been sneaking around with? Shanize knew.” The air left the room. Daves face drained of all color, his eyes wide with horror. “No… no, thats not… Thats not true.” “Oh, but it is,” the best man interrupted, his tone vicious. “She found out a few days ago. She couldve called off the wedding, but wheres the fun in that? No, she wanted to make sure everyone saw who you really are.” I felt my knees weaken, and I gripped the back of a pew for support. My mind raced. Dave? Cheating on Shanize with one of the bridesmaids? I glanced over at Vanessa, sitting just a few rows away. Her face was pale, her hands trembling as she stared at the floor, unable to meet anyones eyes. Dave shook his head frantically. “No, no, this isnt happening.” But the best man stepped forward, his voice rising with each word. “This is happening, Dave! You betrayed her! You threw away your chance at happiness for a cheap fling, and now youre paying for it.” The room erupted in chaos. Guests were talking over each other, shouting questions, trying to piece together what had just happened. Some stood, ready to leave, while others stared in disbelief at the man in the wedding dress, still standing proudly at the altar. Daves eyes were wild with panic as he looked at me as if I could somehow save him from this nightmare. “Janice,” he gasped, reaching out toward me. “Please, you have to believe me. This isnt what it looks like!” I stared back at him, my heart breaking. “Dave… what have you done?” The church fell silent again, and the best mans cold voice cut through the air like a knife. “This is your punishment, Dave. For what you did to her.” And with that, he turned on his heel, leaving Dave standing there alone — shattered, exposed, and utterly broken.
