My best friend Dave was tying the knot with a beautiful woman, and I was happy he found his soulmate. His bride, the most kind person I have ever met, loved him unconditionally. He was lucky to have her, and everyone agreed on that.
When the wedding day finally arrived and we were all gathered at the local church, something about the bride’s walk felt odd. Shanize was tall and gorgeous, her walking was gracious, and today, she didn’t resemble herself.

I turned to Dave’s sister and asked her if she could sense something was wrong, but she leaned and said, “Janice, please don’t make any scenes.”
How could she not notice Shanize’s weird walk? But Heather assured me that the bride was just nervous because it was her big day.
However, I wasn’t the only one who was aware of the awkwardness of Shanize’s steps. As she drew nearer, one of the guests whispered a joke about how the bride seemed to be “floating” down the aisle. Those around him chuckled, but I didn’t laugh. I just knew something wasn’t right.
And just as Heather, Dave’s sister, warned me not to act foolishly, I found myself walking behind the bride.
I bent over and lifted the hem of the bride’s gown just a few inches. What I saw shocked me.
Man’s shoes. I looked at huge, polished man’s shoes.
As I knelt down further I noticed the person who head was covered in a veil wore pants underneath the fancy gown. What was going on, I thought to myself while looking at Dave who at that point wouldn’t take the huge smile off of his face.
The man in Shanize’s dress took his wig and started laughing at Dave. It was his best man and everyone believed he was pulling a prank on him, but the truth was, he wasn’t.
“What the hell is this?” Dave asked in confusion. “Where’s Shanize?”
The best man said Shanize was gone. She didn’t want to proceed with the wedding, but she also didn’t want to cancel it. What she wanted was everyone to know Dave was having an affair with one of the bridesmaids, Vanessa. She wanted him to be exposed, and the best man helped her with the plan.
The church was silent. The guests could barely put their thoughts into words from the shock.
Dave yelled that what the best man said wasn’t true. He denied having anything with Vanessa, who was standing just a few rows away. But it was obvious he wasn’t telling the truth.
It turned out I didn’t know my best friends that well.
He threw away his chance at happiness for a cheap fling, and that was his punishment.
I felt sorry for Dave, but I was glad Shanize discovered he was unfaithful before starting a new life with him.
Alone and broken, Dave continued kneeling at the church as he witnessed all the guests leaving the place in disapppintment.
