"I was a plus one at a wedding where I barely knew the groom and had only met the bride once before. During the reception, I stopped at the bathroom and found the bride sitting alone in the big stall crying. She didn’t want to get married but did because she and the groom had had s*x. She wasn’t pregnant but as a Mormon she felt she had to marry him. She was only 19 and felt she was too young to get married but didn’t feel like she’d had a choice.I stayed with her for about half an hour comforting her until her grandma came in and took over. I went back to the party, and her groom was oblivious to the fact that his new wife was missing, let alone that she was devastated.My (now)husband lost track of that friend after he got married. We ran into him years later and asked how he was doing. The two of them had 4 kids under the age of 5 and he was thrilled to be a dad. I wonder how she felt and if he had any idea how she felt."
Every interview after this is like 'how did you deal with this'. Even now, decades later.
