Groom Learns Bride Is the Daughter of His Father’s Killer — Story of the Day
|Chris was waiting at the altar for his future wife, Debra, when he saw the man who killed his father ten years earlier. He was her father! He lunged at him, but the man had an explanation that changed Chris’s family forever.
Chris was nervously waiting next to his best man and the other groomsmen at the altar. He was about to marry the love of his life, Debra, whom he met in college. Everything had to be perfect today, so Chris adjusted his bow tie once again and breathed deeply. Then he looked toward his mother, Alice, and his stepfather, Harry.
He was particularly thankful for Harry. Harry was there for them when Chris’s father was killed ten years earlier during a bank robbery. They met at the police academy and became partners at the local station in Denver, Colorado. Unfortunately, police efforts never managed to find his father’s killer, and Harry stepped in to help both Alice and Chris through their most challenging times.

Eventually, he and Alice fell in love, although Chris initially found it strange. Now, he was his role model, and both his parents looked so proud to see him standing there ready to make a lifelong commitment to a beautiful woman.
The wedding march began, and he spotted Debra in a beautiful white gown, smiling at him. He smiled in return and almost started to cry. Then his jaw went slack when he saw the man walking beside her.
Debra’s parents moved to Europe before she started college, and they barely kept in contact since then. She lived with her grandmother until she moved to the dorms.
When Chris and Debra got engaged, Debra was sorry her parents wouldn’t be at the wedding, so her grandmother was going to walk her down the aisle. However, at the last minute, her parents called and told her they were coming for the wedding. She had been so excited, and Chris couldn’t wait to meet them.
But as Debra and the man Chris believed to be her father now walked down the aisle, Chris smile turned into a frown. Suddenly, he lunged at them. “YOU MURDERER! I WILL KILL YOU!”
