The Substitute Bride

On the day of the wedding, my sister ran off with her suitcase, leaving behind over two hundred guests and a complete mess. My parents knelt and begged me to be the substitute bride. I put on my sister's wedding dress and married the man who was supposed to be my brother-in-law. On our wedding night, he said, 'Don't expect me to love you.' But a year later, we had a child. Then my sister came back, crying, 'Sis, I love him too.' — But this time, I'm not giving in.
