Man Sees His Late Girlfriend’s Mother with Toddler in Her Arms and Runs Away from His Wedding – Story of the Day
|Nathan and Alice were at the altar waiting to get married when an older woman holding a toddler appeared at their wedding. He ran away, grabbed the woman, and dragged her off, only to be chased by Alice’s father’s bodyguards. That’s when he had to reveal the surprising truth.
Nathan looked at Alice as she walked down a beautifully adorned aisle in the garden of a country club, and he thought about running away. He didn’t want to marry her. Not really. But Alice’s father, Mr. Salisbury, was influential in the Seattle banking world, and he forced this marriage on him.

It was a whole mess, and there was an entire congregation of people in Seattle watching him marry her. But he was going to make the best of it, even if he had to hide a huge part of himself.
The ceremony continued, and the minister suddenly uttered, “If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.”
That’s when Nathan glanced at the end of the aisle and saw an old woman holding a toddler in her arms. His jaw almost fell to the floor, and Alice saw her too.
“Who is that Nathan?” she asked softly. But he didn’t answer. He couldn’t think. He only ran. Once he reached the entrance, Nathan grabbed the older woman and took her outside.
He rushed to the first car he saw at the entrance, it was a vintage car, and shoved the woman inside, getting into the driver’s side himself. Luckily, the keys...
