The bride decided to turn a nightmare scenario into a ‘celebration of honesty’ on her wedding day
Your wedding day is meant to be one of the happiest days of your life, so most don’t expect they are going to be getting the ultimate dose of revenge on their partner at the ceremony.
While the wedding day didn’t turn out exactly how she planned, it will definitely be a memorable day.
The unfortunate bride explained that she and her long-term boyfriend had been in a relationship for several years.
So, you can only imagine the joy she was feeling ahead of marrying who she thought was soul mate.
Things took quite the sour turn only hours before the ceremony, however.
Casey, who used a fake name for herself and her fiancé Alex, was with her bridesmaids when she got a text to her phone that would really make your heart drop and crumble.
The night before she got a message from an unknown number showing screenshotted messages of her husband speaking to this mystery woman.
Alongside the grabs, the unidentified person wrote: “I wouldn’t marry him. Will you?”
The messages were very incriminating for Alex, who had evidently been having an affair with another woman in the months running up to his wedding to Casey.
“This weekend. You and I. It is on, hot stuff. Bring your A game,” one racy message read.
“Your body is f**king incredible. And s**t do you know how to use it. I wish my GF had half the skills you do,” read another.
A third text went on: “I miss you so much. I can’t stop thinking about L, S, F’ing you. I’ve never had this kind of connection before.”
“I burst into shamed and broken tears,” Casey wrote in an essay for Body+Soul. “My girls were threatening all manner of violence against him. They insisted I call him immediately and call the wedding off.”
She continued to write: “But I loved Alex. I wanted to marry Alex tomorrow. I was too shocked and sad to be angry. I didn’t call him.
“Eventually, we tried to go to bed. I didn’t sleep a wink and when dawn finally broke I awoke the girls and told them my decision – I was going to go ahead with the wedding as expected, and ‘out’ him in front of our friends and family.”
As a way of ‘outing’ her then-husband-to-be, Casey proceeded to read out the text messages to all their wedding guests instead of her vows.
“It seems Alex is not who I thought he was,” said the jilted bride. “I love all of you and as horrible as this is I’m glad you all are here.
“There will not be a wedding reception today, but instead, there will be a celebration of honesty, finding true love and following your heart even when it hurts.”
Color left the groom’s face as his private messages were read out loud, and he eventually ‘stalked out of the church with his best man trailing behind him’.
Casey concluded the essay: “It was certainly not the wedding day I had planned but to our credit, it was one hell of a party.”
I’m sure many, many tequila shots were consumed that night.
