At 65 He Married His Friend’s Young Daughter — What He Discovered On Their Wedding Night Left Him Frozen
A man remarried at the age of 65 to his friend’s young daughter. However, while he was taking off her bridal gown on their wedding night, he noticed something awful.
He was 65 years old. Since his wife had died five years prior, he had come home to an empty house every evening, and he had long since come to terms with the fact that he would be living alone in his old age.
When he went to see his old acquaintance one evening, everything changed. He instantly fell in love when he saw his friend’s young, single daughter there.
Despite the fact that she was much younger than him, they immediately developed a bond that was inexplicable. They spent hours conversing, discovering in one another a warmth and comprehension that they both much needed. They soon made their feelings clear: she fell madly in love with him, and he fell deeply in love with her.
The girl’s father, however, opposed the union. He yelled, “You’ll bring shame to the family!” and shut out his daughter. The man waited outside the gate, hoping for at least a peek, while the girl composed letters. Despite being separated and prohibited from seeing one another, their love remained unwavering.
They battled for the right to be together and succeeded in getting married in spite of the opposition.
It felt like a celebration of a fresh start that day. His bride was beaming with joy, and the man felt young. Only happiness seemed to be in store. However…
On their wedding night, as he carefully unbuttoned her wedding dress, he saw something terrible
He could see deep, new cuts running over her back beneath the lace. The man froze, his eyes incredulous. She averted her gaze, her cheeks dripping with tears.
“It’s Dad,” she muttered. “He beat me all this time. claimed that I was an embarrassment to him and our family.”
The elderly man’s inside organs tightened. Anger and pain sank into his heart. He understood that she had suffered greatly throughout the days they had battled for their right to be together.
Without touching her wounds, he gave her a hug and mutely said:
“You won’t ever be by yourself again. I’ll stop at nothing to keep you safe.”
Instead of marking the start of a joyful family life, this night marked his commitment to be by her side for the rest of his life and to never let anyone hurt her again.
