But here I was, and being brought up in an orthodox Christian family, it was pretty symbolic that I was to be lead like a lamb to the slaughterhouse. Everyone was so cruel, and why was I the one who had to be the perfect Christian and make my life an example for others to follow?

When the day finally came, everyone smiled. I smiled too, but in my heart my tears fell like raindrops. Here I was standing in front of the alter, all dressed in white, ready to get married. But it seemed as though….....
