I was very worried about what people would think of my appearance. Many of the groom’s relatives knew that I had health problems, but not exactly what – so I hoped they wouldn’t notice the wig.

Finally, the big day came. Me in a white dress, the groom by my side, the church filled with light and quiet conversations. Everything seemed perfect… until she came.

The mother-in-law. She had never liked me, and I knew exactly why. She thought I wouldn’t be able to give her son children and that he should marry a “healthy” woman.

She approached silently, and in the next moment I felt her rip the wig from my head. Her loud, almost triumphant laugh rang out:

– Look! She’s bald! I told you, but you didn’t believe me! 😢😢
