It was, at a glance, a happy wedding.
The bride smiled happily. The groom smiled happily. Their family and friends all had sincere smiles as well.
As they received blessings from the attendees, the newly married couple reached the door of the church. After that, they were to take commemorative photos outside.
The couple opened the door, and for a moment, light filled the church.
As the bride was lit up from the outside, we could see numerous black death masks through the transparent white part of her skirt.
I didn’t say a thing.
Nobody said a thing.
