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

For a moment, I didn’t know what to do. Part of me wanted to strangle Derek for doing something so outrageous in the middle of my wedding. But then… the absurdity of the whole situation hit me. Jacob’s friends pulled these kinds of stunts all the time. It was their way of showing they cared. And honestly, it was kind of funny.

Before I knew it, I started laughing. I couldn’t help it; the situation was absurd. Soon, Jacob was laughing too, and then the guests joined him. The tension eased, and the atmosphere relaxed again. The wedding wasn’t ruined. On the contrary, it became even more unforgettable.

“I can’t believe you did that,” I said, wiping away a tear that had formed in my eye from laughing.

“It was just for fun,” Derek replied, still grinning from ear to ear. “We couldn’t get away with Jacob’s responsibility that easily. We had to say goodbye to him properly.”

Jacob shook his head, still smiling. “You’re acting ridiculous.”
