I was supposed to marry the man of my dreams, and it was supposed to be a simple, joyful occasion.
But when I walked down the aisle, it turned into a nightmare.
Chris and I felt an instant connection from the very first moment, and our relationship quickly became something special.
He brought a sense of adventure and understanding into my life that I had been missing, and soon we became inseparable.
But not everything was perfect.
Chris had doubts about my close friendship with Joseph, a friend from my past.
Despite my assurances, his jealousy persisted.
One evening, Chris proposed to me, and we began planning our wedding.
I took care of most of the organisational details, while Chris handled the invitations and photographer.
My maid of honour, Maya, was a great support to me during the planning process, which was quite stressful.
But one seemingly harmless comment during dinner with Chris, Joseph, and Maya changed everything.
I joked that Joseph and Maya would make a good couple, not realising how much it would hurt Chris.
On our wedding day, as I walked down the aisle, I noticed Chris’s expression change from tender to cold.
When I reached the altar, he grabbed the microphone and accused me of cheating on him with Joseph, adding that he couldn’t marry a ‘boring’ woman like me.
Then he ran out, leaving me humiliated in front of the guests.
The situation quickly escalated when Maya revealed that she had filmed Chris flirting with our wedding photographer, Susan.
The consequences were swift and severe — Chris’s parents fired him from the family business and disinherited him.
He blamed me for ruining his life, but I knew it was his own actions that had led to his downfall.
Now I am slowly rebuilding the pieces of my broken love life.
I yelled ‘I don’t want to!’ at my own wedding after talking to the groom’s mother.
Do parents really enjoy dropping bombshells before weddings?
That’s exactly what Ryan’s mother did — just 30 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle.
Ryan and I met by chance two years ago, and our relationship quickly blossomed into love.
My family loved Ryan, and his family welcomed me with open arms, especially his mother, Audrey.
As we approached our wedding day, everything seemed perfect.
But shortly before the ceremony, Audrey, looking nervous, took me aside.
My heart was pounding as she handed me her phone and showed me a video of Ryan with another woman.
Audrey pointed to the jacket in the video, which I had bought for Ryan, and confirmed that it was him.
Despite the shock, I decided to go through with the wedding.
But when it came time to say my vows, I couldn’t do it.
I quietly said, ‘I don’t want to,’ and repeated it louder, shocking everyone in the church.
Ryan was confused and offended, but I told him to talk to his mother.
Audrey, unable to cope with the consequences, left the church, leaving only silence and shocked guests behind.
Ryan tried to convince me that it wasn’t him in the video, but I couldn’t believe him.
I blocked his number, thinking it was over.
Two days later, Ryan came to my parents’ house and revealed that his mother had staged the whole thing, using her students to create a fake video.
Audrey didn’t want us to get married and went to great lengths to sabotage our relationship.
I was shocked.
I thought Audrey loved me, but her actions proved otherwise.
Despite everything, I forgave Ryan, and he forgave me for doubting him publicly.
We are still together, but the future seems uncertain after everything we’ve been through.
