My Father Poured Wine on Me at My Sister’s Wedding to Humiliate Me — He Had No Idea Who My Husband Was
During dinner, my father delivered a twenty-minute toast about my sister — “the daughter who has always made us immensely proud,” a phrase he repeated three times, into the microphone, for three hundred people.
I took a sip of iced water and checked my phone.
A text from Rafael glowed on the screen. Just landed at the executive helipad.
At the hotel in twenty minutes. I texted back, Everything’s completely normal here. That doesn’t sound reassuring at all, he replied.
I smiled faintly. Just walk in when you arrive.
At the front of the room, my father tapped his glass and lifted the microphone again.
“Before the main dance, I want to acknowledge my family.” He toasted Marissa, and Spencer, and the aunts and uncles and cousins.
