When the Bells Fell Silent

Only she remembered the silence of her wedding day.

Everyone else swore her wedding was the perfect affair. The church bells were ringing, the roses were in full bloom, and her husband stood at the front next to the priest. Her husband smiled, beaming as he slipped the ring onto her finger. The photographs proved it happened, rows of happy faces frozen in joy. Her mother told everyone the story as if it were a family legend. Little did they know, the emotional depth of that day was far beyond what they could perceive.
