Family disgrace
My mother started crying before I could say anything further, yelling about betrayal and shame for the family. I was shocked when her voice reverberated throughout the house. She cried, “How could you do this to us?” She couldn’t stop the tears from falling down her cheeks. In the meantime, I stood motionless, trying to figure out how my wedding could have created such a commotion. The anxiety was increased by my dad’s mute silence in the backdrop.

Silent disapproval
In the backdrop, my father stood rigidly, avoiding eye contact with me. In sharp contrast to my mother’s anger, he was utterly silent. “Dad?” I yelled for help, but all he did was shake his head. His disappointment was like a ton of bricks to me. It’s obvious that whatever had occurred during our absence had completely upended my family.
