The groom gave the bride one last chance to explain.
Groom: I need the truth. No more excuses.
The bride took a deep breath.
Bride: I was afraid everything would come out before the wedding.
The groom stared at her.
Groom: What were you hiding?
She admitted that she had kept the room locked because she did not want anyone discovering what she had been hiding from the family.
The little girl quietly stepped closer to the groom.
Little Girl: I knew something was wrong.
The groom looked at the damaged door, then at the bride.
Groom: A wedding cannot begin with secrets like this.
The room fell completely silent.
The bride realized that the ceremony she had planned so carefully might never happen.
And the little girl, who everyone had dismissed that morning, had been the one brave enough to uncover the truth.
