During the wedding ceremony, they brought us a coffin with a bow in the shape of a gift – I almost fainted when they opened it

The group of men carrying the coffin approached. My heart pounded in my chest, and my knees trembled. I gripped Jacob’s hand tightly, but even he seemed too shocked to move.

They walked up to the altar and placed the coffin at our feet. I could barely breathe.

Then one of Jacob’s friends—Derek, the best man—stepped forward. Of course, it was him. If anyone was behind something this crazy, it had to be Derek. He reached for the coffin lid, moving his hand slowly as if deliberately building suspense.

“Derek, what’s going on?” I finally managed to say in a trembling voice.
