It really is so heartbreaking to lose someone that you love. Different people have different ways of coping with the situation – and one would-be bride went viral for sharing heartbreaking photos of the wedding that never happened…
On November 11, 2018, Debbie Gerlach was supposed to marry her sweetheart, Randy Zimmerman. They had planned for the Big Day since he proposed about 2 years before the date. Sadly, the wedding never happened after she lost him in a motorcycle accident.

“Today was supposed to be the best day of my life. Today was supposed to be the day I married my best friend. I was supposed to wake up, put on my wedding dress and walk down the isle to the man of my dreams. Today, in front of all of our family and friends Randy & I were going to express our love for each other once again, and our vows that we would hold sacred to our hearts. Today was supposed to be the day I have dreamt about since I was a little girl. Today I was supposed to become a wife. Today I was supposed to become Mrs. Zimmerman…

…but today I woke up alone as I do every day. Today I woke up with my heart broken all over again. Today my daddy will not walk me down the isle. Today I will not get to see the look on Randy’s face at the end of that isle when he gets his first look at me in my wedding dress, the dress I had to hide from him because he couldn’t wait to see it. Today I will not see all of our friends and family. Today I will not marry the love of my life. Today I will not have a husband…”
