Secrets of Love and Marriage #12

Secrets of Love and Marriage #12 "The Tearful Bride" depicts a newlywed couple whose wedding day is marred by a violent quarrel just before the ceremony, leaving the bride crying and the groom silent and unsmiling throughout the reception. As they stand together at their wedding reception and later at a window, emotionally distant from the celebration around them, the story suggests their marriage may have been doomed from the start. A subsequent story shows a man named Alan Nixon meeting a woman named Barbara, confessing his inability to marry her due to his compulsive gambling habit, despite his deep feelings for her.
