AT 60, I FOUND LOVE AGAIN 9 YEARS AFTER LOSING MY HUSBAND – AT THE WEDDING, MY LATE HUSBAND'S BROTHER STOOD UP AND YELLED, "I OBJECT!" Ten years ago, I buried my husband, Richard, the father of my three children. We spent 35 wonderful years together. The first six months after his passing were the hardest. I felt crushed and depressed. However, when my grandson told me, "Grandma, I don't want to lose you like I lost Grandpa," something shifted within me. I spent nearly seven years recovering from that loss. I gradually began to come back to life, and nine years later, I met Thomas, a widower who also knew the pain of losing a spouse. After growing close, we decided to marry. On our wedding day, I wore a beautiful dress. But just as the priest said, "If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace," a voice shattered the heavy silence. "I OBJECT." It was David, Richard's elder brother. All eyes turned to him. He stepped forward, his face etched with disapproval. His words were sharp. "Look at you! Dressed in white, standing here as if Richard never existed. While Richard — my brother, your husband — lies in the cold ground, you're here celebrating! How dare you?" I was stunned, unable to gather my thoughts. Then, my daughter stood up. She grabbed the small projector she had brought along and said firmly, "There's something YOU ALL NEED TO SEE!" 👇👇🏿👇🏼
