Bride’s Mom Sees Groom’s Birthmark and Recognizes Son She Lost 23 Years Ago — Story of the Day

In Manchester, New Hampshire, a wedding took a strange turn when the bride’s mother noticed the birthmark on the groom’s hand and recognized her son she’d lost 23 years ago.

“Mom! Mom! I’ve got a big surprise for you!” Melanie informed Mrs. Carter. They were FaceTiming each other as they did every Sunday, but Mrs. Carter had no idea she was in for the biggest shock and surprise of her life!
