Sitting in the exact seat that should have been mine was Peggy, my mother-in-law. She was dressed in her best beige suit, proudly holding an elaborate bouquet of yellow roses, smiling as if she belonged there.
I tried to push through the doors to get inside, but a security guard stopped me and explained that the ceremony had already started and no one else could enter.
In that moment, I felt completely shattered.
When the ceremony finally ended and everyone began leaving the building, Peggy walked up to me wearing a smug expression.
