Getting married is something many women long for. Saying ‘I do’ to the person of your dreams sounds like a fairytale come true, a moment where time seems to stand still, and all the hopes and dreams come to life in a cherished celebration of love.
The wedding day is a day filled with joy, where every detail, from the vows to the first dance, reflects the unique bond shared by two people in love. For many, that special day is far more than just a perfect ceremony, as it marks the beginning of a lifelong journey.
While Jane was putting on some lipstick and checking on her make-up, looking stunningly beautiful in her dream wedding gown and getting ready to walk down the aisle, her made of honor went inside her room, held her tightly, and handed her a note. Cindy not being the huggy type made Jane’s heart pace faster. She knew something wasn’t right.
The note instructed her to go to the restroom.
Jane, puzzled and scared, told her wedding coordinator to give her five minutes to go to the restroom, assuring him she would be back just in time for the wedding ceremony.
Outside the restroom, Cindy was waiting along with Jane’s dad who handed her a piece of paper, saying, “I think you should read this.”
That paper contained printed screenshoots of Jane’s husband-to-be and another woman. Based on those text-exchanges, he was seeing her long before he met Jane and was planning on being with her even after tying the knot.
Jane couldn’t believe her eyes. Tears started rolling down her face, nearly ruining her expensive make-up.
“But…how could this be? Where did you get this from?” she uttered in confussion.
Cindy confessed that she was suspicious of Jane’s fiance because she had seen him at a restaurant with another woman and they seemed close. She told Jane’s father about it, who hired a private detective, wanting to be sure his daughter was marrying the right guy, not some cheater.
Unfortunately, they had received those messages from the detective at that moment and had mere minutes to decided whether to tell Jane about it or keep it quiet. But they both knew she deserved to know what kind of man she was planning to spend her life with.
Jane managed to collect herself. She knew her entire family was eagerly waiting for her to appear at her ceremony and she didn’t want to fail them, but she also didn’t want to get marry that day; not to that awful person who made a fool of her.
Cindy and Jane’s dad told her they had already thought of a plan, and asked Jane if she wanted them to proceed with it.
What they had in mind was to show the text messages on the big screen that was supposed to feature photos of Jane and her fiance’s love story.
Jane agreed.
She was a bit late, but she still appeared, and her fiance felt relieved, not knowing that Jane had a surprise for him.
As the ceremony was about to start, the messages started popping up on the screen. The guests were shocked and Jane’s fiance was starring at the messages in disbelief. He started apologizing and begging Jane not to leave him. But it was already too late for them.
Jane was determined to continue her life without him in it. She simply walked away after she told her family and friends that she was sorry there was not going to be a wedding that day.
She was sad, but at the same time, she was relieved and thankful she didn’t make a huge mistake by marrying someone who betrayed her trust and never appreciated her love.
