What a sad story.. I think this is one of the worst things that could happen to anyone. Finally you are standing there in front of the altar with someone you love and in a split of a second you stand there alone and your life completely changes but not the way you expected it would change after the wedding.. I'm not sure if I would call it melancholy as the feeling from your story is stronger than melancholy..

You could say so much in such a short story.. well done!

Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend!
