I always thought my wedding day would be unforgettable for all the right reasons. Instead, it became unforgettable for a reason I could never have imagined. It all began when my sister brought a lie detector test to the wedding.

“Har,” he’d say with a teasing grin, “if you weren’t such a good cook, I’d probably starve to death.”
