But for one bride and groom, their big day has become a source of conflict and heartache.

The rest of the family, including his sister, uncles, and aunts, adore her, but his parents and brothers have always been cold and distant. The shocking reason behind their disapproval has finally been revealed, and it has left the groom questioning his relationship with his family.
