My Mom Gave Me an Empty Box at My Wedding: "That's All Your Marriage Is Worth"...

My name is Gail Anderson and I'm 33 years old. At my own wedding, my family handed me a gift box. And when I opened it in front of 120 people, it was completely empty. My mom smiled while I stared into all that nothing. She had planned it. She wanted the whole room to watch. But the empty box wasn't the crulest thing that happened that night. And it wasn't the thing that changed my family forever. What my grandmother slipped into my hands 20 minutes later did that. [snorts] And what my mother nearly did when I opened that second box at the head table, I will carry with me until the day I die.
