<\/p>\nAt her wedding reception, Jess marvels over how perfect everything turned out. When she has a quiet moment away from her guests, she asks to view some wedding photos. But what she sees sends her spiraling.<\/p>\n
After three years of being together, and a year to plan our dream wedding, Adam and I got married.<\/p>\n
Everything was perfect. We had our favorite food, music, and people. I thought nothing could ruin this wonderful day until I asked our photographer to show me some of our wedding photos on her camera.<\/p>\n
Adam and I married at sunset, my favorite time of the day. The entire ceremony was perfectly planned for our vows to be recited while the sun streamed from all angles.<\/p>\n
Of course, then it was time to party. Adam wanted our reception to be one big bash and for our guests to have a blast.<\/p>\n
We also wanted every moment to be documented, so we hired Jack and Annie to capture our wedding bliss through the lenses.<\/p>\n
We also had a photo booth, but we wanted candid photos.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re only getting married once,\u201d Adam said when I questioned whether we were being too lavish with our money.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s make memories, Jess,\u201d he said, kissing my hand.<\/p>\n
During our reception, I noticed Annie sitting alone while Adam was toasting away with his groomsmen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m taking a break,\u201d she chuckled, sipping a cocktail. \u201cJack has it covered.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, while I have you,\u201d I said, sitting beside her. \u201cCan you show me some of the photos? I want to see what my dress looks like from the back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSure,\u201d Annie said. She hesitated, sipping her cocktail slowly while turning a little red.<\/p>\n
I turned around to look at the crowd while Annie drank.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you look beautiful,\u201d she said, picking up her camera.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom made a joke about the dress making my butt look a little big,\u201d I chuckled, feeling the warmth from the champagne radiate through me.<\/p>\n
Annie held the camera and, resting it lightly on her leg, began swiping through the images.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but smile at the photographs \u2014 I loved seeing the guests enjoy themselves.<\/p>\n
But staring at the vibrant photographs, my eye caught something peculiar in the background of one the pictures of me and my parents.<\/p>\n
The photo captured a brief yet unexpected moment \u2014 I saw Adam holding Annie\u2019s hand as they shared a stolen kiss.<\/p>\n
I could not believe my eyes. I zoomed in just to make sure I was not making it up, but it was all there.<\/p>\n
The photographer choked on the drink she was sipping, her face turning purple.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t breathe. Adam and I had only been married for about three hours, and already, he was betraying me.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you dare move,\u201d I hissed at Annie. \u201cDon\u2019t you dare say a word!\u201d<\/p>\n
Annie nodded quickly, her eyes wide at my sudden change of demeanor.<\/p>\n
But what did she really expect? I was at my own wedding, and I had just found out that my husband had cheated. After she betrayed me like that and ruined my wedding day, I made sure her photography career would take a hit.<\/p>\n
I picked up Annie\u2019s camera and took it to the DJ, who screened a series of photographs of Adam and me through the years while he blasted out the latest hits.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure?\u201d he asked when I told him what I needed him to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
