After six months of dating, Chris proposes to Beth. His enthusiastic family takes over the wedding planning, including unorthodox items that cause Beth to leave her wedding.

For my 25th birthday, my boyfriend Chris whisked me off to Hawaii. It was magical because we had only been dating for six months, and I wasn’t expecting anything. Then, Chris proposed on the beach — I said yes, swept away by the moment, although I knew six months wasn’t enough to truly know someone.

I wasn’t a girl who dreamed about her wedding, so when Chris’s family took control of every detail, I allowed it. They were excited and offered to pay for everything. But on the big day, strange traditions and shocking revelations awaited me.

Chris’s mom insisted I walk down the aisle with my eyes closed. At the altar, I opened my eyes to see Chris and a woman in a white dress behind him — his first wife, Julia. She introduced their autistic son, Eli, whom Chris had never mentioned. Devastated by his deception, I walked away from the altar, grateful I discovered the truth before it was too late.
