48 Minutes Before My Wedding, I Found a Lipstick Message Inside My Vows…

Synopsis

The lipstick mark was still wet when I found it. On the inside edge of the envelope that held our wedding vows. At 4:52 PM, with forty-eight minutes left before I was supposed to walk down the aisle, I was standing alone in the bridal suite at Saint Matthew’s Hall, staring at a deep red crescent pressed into cream paper that I knew was not mine.
