The Hardest Night

The Sunday I had to go in front of my church to confess my sin was a hard day. I had to nervously wait through Sunday school and could not concentrate on the sunday school lessons for teens/teenagers. I went in front of the church and read my note of confession and repentance, while I cried. The church members did not say anything harsh to me at all. They came up and hugged me. One girl, that was in the youth group with me, told me that I was so brave, and that she could not imagine going up in front of everyone.

From that moment on I started trying to plan my wedding. Everyone offered to help considering that I did not have a job. I did the best I could, and my fiancé found a job and an apartment. My family and church members helped as much as they could. I borrowed a wedding dress and went to the dollar store for decorations. My fiancé and I went to the counseling with our pastor and had free bible study lessons about marriage.

When I was five months pregnant, I was ready for our thrown together wedding. The night before our wedding, I was talking to my fiancé about a talk show I had watched. It was about honesty, and I was casually talking about how important honesty is in a relationship.

Then he stopped and turned to me. He told me that since we were getting married tomorrow, that he needed to tell me something. He proceeded to tell me that he had cheated on me, and that he did not want to enter into our marriage without complete honesty. He made me promise not to tell my mom or my sister. That was the hardest night of my life. The emotional pain of betrayal stabbed through me. I wanted to talk to my mom but she was suffering.
