Bride gets ultimate revenge on cheating husband-to-be on their wedding day

Jade Hayden

Grim enough scenario.

There are a couple of things people generally tend to do the night before they get married.

One of those things is stay away from their husband or bride-to-be. Another is have a few pre-celebratory glasses of prosecco to calm the nerves.

None of those things tend to involve accidentally seeing texts between your significant other and another woman but hey look, these things happen, what can you do?

The above is unfortunately what happened to a woman named as ‘Casey’ when she was hanging out in her hotel room the night before her wedding.

In an essay published on Whimn, she said that she received a series of screenshots from a number she didn’t recognise with the message “I wouldn’t marry him. Will you?”

Casey realised that the screenshots showed months of messages between her husband-to-be and this woman, including photos of the pair together.

She said she “didn’t sleep a wink” that night, and although her friends urged her to call off the wedding, Casey decided she wanted to “out” him in front of everyone instead.

The piece reads:

“‘There will be no wedding today,’ I announced. It seems Alex is not who I thought he was.

“A ripple of shock went through the crowd and Alex tried to grab my hands but I put down my flowers to reveal my phone in my hand. I read every single message she sent me. With each word, more colour left Alex’s face.

“I let my weeping eyes rise and meet his, and he had not one thing to say.

“He stalked out of the church with his best man trailing behind him. His family looked on, horrified.”

Casey went on to say that she told the rest of the guests who stayed that the day would be a “celebration of honesty.”

“There was a smattering of awkward applause and a little cheering,” she said.

“What was the correct response to this news? It was certainly not the wedding day I had planned but to our credit, it was one hell of a party.”

Sounds it, yeah.
