Not all heroes wear capes, some work as front desk clerks in random hotels. 

I got married when I was pretty young, and even though I didn't actually have a case of cold feet the night before my wedding, I did have my doubts. Call me dramatic, but getting married is a huge decision, and whether or not you stay married for your whole life, this decision affects every part of your life forever.

This wholesome story proves that good people can be in every corner, and they can help you out with overwhelming decisions, like getting married. This front desk employee was approached by a bride who was getting married the next day, she was really upset and started crying in front of the clerk. She then told the clerk that she didn't think she was ready to get married tomorrow. The sweet clerk listened to the bride's story and concerns and then processed to help her see that she was probably just getting cold feet.

    birdmanrules OP. 7 hr. ago I honestly think it was all cold feet. She just was a bundle of nerves. Probably not the best idea being alone the night before either. Most I see the maid of honor or bridesmaid in the room.

    collisl83 - 6 hr. ago This is so sweet. Sometimes just being there to listen to someone in a vulnerable place is all that is needed, and you were there when they needed you. It's not often TFTFD has a good ending, and I am glad this is yours.
