I Noticed Something Odd About the Bride at My Best Friend’s Wedding – When I Lifted Her Dress, Everyone Was Left in Shock

“Janice, for God’s sake,” Heather hissed, her patience thinning. “You’re going to embarrass Dave. Stop acting like this!”

“I have to check,” I muttered, stepping forward. I heard Heather’s sharp intake of breath as I edged past her, my eyes locked on the bride.
