When I found out my ex-husband was marrying a disabled woman, I dressed up in all my splendor and went to the wedding to make fun of her… but when I learned the bride’s true identity, I returned home crying all night…
The day I heard the news that my ex, Javier, was getting married, my heart sank.
Even though we had been divorced for three years, I realized I had never truly let him go.
But what struck me most wasn’t just that he was marrying again—it was the rumors that spread among friends and relatives:
“He’s marrying a disabled woman in a wheelchair… it’s almost pitiful to see her.”In that moment, my pride and selfishness flared. I thought to myself: “So the man who left me could only find someone with a disability in the end. Isn’t that the consequence of his choice?”
That thought gave me a strange sense of satisfaction.
I decided I had to attend the wedding—radiant and flawless—so that he, and everyone else, would see that I was the woman he truly deserved, and that he was living in a mistake.
That night, I spent hours in front of the mirror. A tight red dress, carefully styled waves, and perfect makeup that made me feel like a queen. I imagined the scene: walking in, all eyes on me, comparing me—elegant and haughty—to a fragile bride in a wheelchair. I was convinced I would be the one to shine.
The wedding was held in a grand hall in Mexico City. Music and laughter filled the air. As I entered, familiar faces turned in surprise. I lifted my head proudly, as if I were the star of the evening.

Then came the moment. The doors opened. Javier, in an impeccable suit, was pushing a wheelchair. Seated in it was the bride—petite, serene, with a warm smile that unsettled me in ways I couldn’t explain.
