From the flowers to the music, I had always pictured the ideal wedding day, with every little detail painstakingly planned. It was supposed to be the result of my fiancé Sam and I falling in love for five years. Every visitor shared in the happiness of our union as the venue glistened in the gentle afternoon sun.

A woman wearing a lovely but eerie soft peach dress entered just before the ceremony started. “Aren’t you going to tell them you’re already married?” she snapped, her gaze fixed on Sam.

There was silence in the room. I looked to Sam for an explanation, and my heart was pounding. The next thing I saw broke everything: Sam approached her and gave her a hug while still feeling pain. The room let out a startled gasp. He was standing there, holding this woman in a familiar and intimate way, and I could feel my trust in him crumbling.

She disclosed that they had been married in secret, and Sam’s admission exposed a history I was unaware of. He acknowledged a youthful error that had plagued him: a covert marriage. Now everything we built felt vulnerable, even though he had hoped time would wash it away.

I married for love, but on my first night at my in-laws’ house, I overheard my husband tell his mother, “She’s finally in my trap—now we can begin our secret plan.”

The beautiful voices of Carole King and James Taylor, at 71 and 65 years old, are absolutely timeless on this yearning cut of “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”, and their bond is just too sweet!

I waited forty-four years to marry the girl I’d loved since high school, believing our wedding night would be the start of forever.
