He Married Her at My Wedding

Synopsis

Ten minutes before walking down the aisle, the wedding ring was missing. My best friend, Lilah Ortega, stuck out her tongue playfully. "I hid the ring under the bed. If you can't find it, you're not allowed to get married." My fiancé, Hunter Cooper, laughed, saying in a doting tone, "You're always a troublemaker." I gathered up my massive wedding dress and awkwardly got down to reach under the bed. All I got was a handful of dust. Lilah burst out laughing. "Just kidding, Elowyn. The ring's in the best man's pocket. I said, "Hurry up and get it out. Don't mess up the timing." The best man pointed at his pants pocket with a sly grin and shot me a suggestive look. I braced myself and reached into his pocket, and he shouted dramatically, "My god, Elowyn, what are you grabbing? You are so bold." Lilah laughed so hard that she pounded the bed. "I can't take it anymore, Elowyn. How are you so easy to trick? There's nothing in his pocket." Furious, I turned to leave, my face darkening as I snapped at them, "Enough! Don't go too far." Hunter pulled the ring box from the pocket over his heart and sighed. "I kept the ring close to my heart, Elowyn. Why didn't you try touching my heart first?" I suddenly felt so wronged that I wanted to cry. When I opened the ring box, a condom popped out and smacked me in the face. This time, everyone burst out laughing. "You got tricked again. How can you be so clueless?" Hunter smirked. "That condom? Lilah left it behind. She liked the ring, so she swapped it out. Since you two are so close, sharing a guy shouldn't be a big deal, right? "Of course, even if you mind, there is nothing you can do. The wedding is about to start." I stared at him, with my face drained of all color. My mom, who walked in, looked as upset. She grabbed my hand, her face tight with anger. "Enough. My daughter isn't here for you to mess with. We're not getting married. Come on, I'm taking you home."
