By Mary Guterson

At our son’s wedding, my former husband is there with the woman who is now his wife, and I am there with the man who is now my husband. My former husband’s new wife was going to marry another man before marrying my former husband, but the man she was going to marry left her at the altar. The fact that she was left at the altar is a secret, but since my former husband cannot keep a secret, everyone knows, including my current husband, who was a secret to my former husband while he was still my husband and also a secret to my son until my son hacked my emails and let my former husband know. My current husband’s former wife is not at the wedding and, as of now, does not have a new husband. My son looks very happy and we all wish him well.
