Tim made a heartfelt promise to his niece, Megan, when she was just a child: he would buy her wedding dress someday. Nearly two decades later, that promise resurfaced, but what should have been a moment of joy quickly turned into a shocking revelation that shattered their bond.šŸ˜³šŸ‘‡

Life is unpredictable. No matter what we plan, sometimes God takes things into His own hands and writes our destiny. These are things we cannot escape from.

Meghan was just 10 years old when she lost both her parents. Life felt hard and she was way too young to understand the severity of the loss, but luckily, her uncle Tim was there for her.

Not having children on his own, he made it his goal to raise Meghan right and be there for her whenever she needed him.

One day, as the two had a conversation about Meghanā€™s future, Tim said that when the day of her wedding comes, he would be the one purchasing the wedding gown for her. Her tiny face beamed with excitement. She was lucky to have such an amazing uncle.

Fast forward twenty years later, Meghan has become a mother of three beautiful children. She and her boyfriend Tyler, although very much in love, still havenā€™t got married due to certain circumstances.

One day, however, Tyler proposed and Meghan was over the moon. Their union was finally going to be officialized.

Meghan has always dreamed of having a big wedding, and her heart swelled with joy over the thought of being a bride.

She and Tyler were quick to share the news with her uncle Tim. As expected, Tim was as excited as the husband and wife-to-be.

As they discussed their plans with Tim, Meghan suddenly mentioned the promise Tim made when she was still very young. ā€œUncle Tim, you are buying my dress, right? Iā€™m sure you remember you promised,ā€ Meghan said. ā€œOf course I remember,ā€ Tim said with excitement. ā€œI would be happy to, Meghan, just to see you happy. So, what do you two have in mind? A small gathering I guess,ā€ Tim asked.

ā€œWell, not exactly,ā€ Meghan said in a shy manner. ā€œUncle Tim, we were hoping to have a big and glamorous wedding.ā€

Meghan then told Tim that she had in fact found the perfect venue, and she has also found her perfect dress. She saw it in a magazine and knew it was the one for her. The thing was, however, that the gown cost $7,500.

Tim was shocked at the price of the dress. ā€œMeghan, I donā€™t know how to say this, but that dress costs way too much,ā€ he said. ā€œI was thinking of a dress in the range of around $1,500.ā€

Meghanā€™s face turned red. It was obvious that her uncleā€™s response left her devastated. ā€œBut you promised,ā€ she kept repeating.

Tyler also tried to push Tim into spending more money on his nieceā€™s wedding dress, but Tim refused because he believed spending that much on a dress was ridiculous.

The room felt silent. Before Meghan and Tyler left the place, Tim told them to think about his offer as he was still willing to give her $1,500 for her dress. Meghan didnā€™t say anything, she just waved goodbye and left.

A few days later, Meghan stopped by her uncleā€™s place. He was in the garage and saw her talking to someone on the phone before entering the house. However, she didnā€™t notice Tim who overheard her conversation.

ā€œTyler, I know itā€™s not as much as we expected, but uncle Tim is still going to give me money for the dress,ā€ Meghan could be heard saying. ā€œYes, I will use that money for your carā€™s repairs, I told you I will help you with that.ā€

Tim was shocked. Meghan wasnā€™t even planning on buying a wedding dress with his money. Did he hear that right?

ā€œHe doesnā€™t know I already spent my parentsā€™ trust fund on your car,ā€ Megan continued. ā€œItā€™ll be easy, trust me.ā€

Meghanā€™s words felt like a punch to the gut. The trust fund her parents left behind was to help her with her college, which Tim paid for until she fell pregnant with her first child and decided to drop out of it. She could use that money for her future, not on her boyfriendā€™s car. What was she thinking?

She was even trying to scam the only person who was there for her when her parents passed away.

At that moment, Tim got out of the garage and looked straight at Meghan, his heart filled with mixed emotions. ā€œMeghan, I overheard your conversation,ā€ he said with anger in his voice. ā€œHow could you spend your parentsā€™ trust fund just like that? And you donā€™t even plan on buying the expensive gown you want me to give you money for?ā€

ā€œUncle Tim, itā€™s not what you thinkā€”ā€ Meghan tried to explain. But Tim wasnā€™t willing to listen to her excuses. ā€œIā€™m not paying for the dress,ā€ Tim said firmly. ā€œAnd Iā€™m not giving you a dime for the wedding.ā€

Meghan grabbed her purse and left the place. She couldnā€™t even look her uncle in the face. She somehow knew she made a mistake but days passed by and she didnā€™t reach out to him to ask for forgiveness.

Months passed by and neither Meghan nor Tyler reached out to Tim.

Whatā€™s most, he learned they tied the knot at the courthouse with a handful of people in attendance. Tim wasnā€™t one of them because he wasnā€™t invited.

Not attending Meghanā€™s wedding hurt more than Tim wanted to admit. His relationship with his niece was now broken, and it was probably for good.

He was still willing to accept her apology, but she didnā€™t offer him one.

No matter how hard it was, Tim knew this was a lesson to be more cautious with his trust in people and with his generosity, even when it came to family members.
