The Laughter and the Tears
After the ceremony, many guests approached—not to judge, but to celebrate.
“You look stunning, Mother Teresa.”
“Green suits you—it’s the color of life itself.”
Later, during the reception, Lara took the microphone.
“Today, I want to honor this woman. She may not wear designer clothes, but she’s the reason I love Marco. If there’s anyone whose example I should follow as a wife, it’s Mother Teresa.”
Applause filled the room. I stood there crying, and for the first time, I felt no shame in my old green dress. That day, it was the most precious gown I could ever wear—woven with love.
