Best Friend Ruins Brides Big Day

A Dream Come True

It was a warm summer day, and a young woman stood at the altar, ready to take her vows and become married. Her friends and family surrounded her, expecting her to say, “I do.”

Samantha was about to get married to the love of her life, Henry. They were both full of love and happiness, ready to embark on this new journey together. Little did they know, one phone call would change everything.

A Beautiful Couple

The scene was a large outdoor wedding in a beautiful backyard in the summer. The bride and groom, both dressed in white and glowing with joy, were ready to exchange their vows, committing to each other for the rest of their lives.

Samantha and her husband-to-be, Henry, were both elated to finally be able to spend the rest of their lives together. Or at least, that’s what Henry thought.

Jealousy Makes You Nasty

The wedding day was the happiest day of Samanthas’s life. She wore a beautiful white dress and  held a bouquet of white roses. Everyone surrounded her and made her feel special, including her soon-to-be husband.

Henry was a kind, caring man, and she felt she could be herself around him. They had a bit of a rocky start at the beginning of their relationship, but the last three years were more solid than ever. But there was reason for people to still question if they truly loved each other.

All Underway

Samantha was beginning to walk down the aisle on her wedding day. She was glowing with joy and anticipation for what the future would bring. Little did she know, her groom had already received a text message just then, which changed everything.

The blushing bride was unaware that the most special day of her life was just about to be questioned in a  big way.

Forever Hold Your Peace

The ceremony was going smoothly until Henry’s best man stood up and addressed the crowd. He started off by praising Henry for finding such a wonderful woman in Samantha. 

But then – out of the blue – he shifted his tone. He revealed that Henry had uncovered something that made him believe that the bride had been  keeping a secret from her soon-to-be husband.  Nervous laughter rippled through the crowd, but nobody could have expected what was revealed next.

Secrets And Lies

Samantha was taken aback and initially thought that it was some kind of joke. But the truth was that there really was a deep, dark secret that the young woman was carrying on this day, and it threatened to ruin the most important moment of her life. 

Would she be able to keep her composure and take her vows as planned, or would her secret tear the ceremony apart?

How Could They Know?

Samantha’s mind was cross-firing. Why did Jonathan, Henry’s best man, feel that he needed to interrupt their ceremony?

Little did the clueless bride know that the maid of honor had tipped him off. He quickly opened his phone and read themessages while she  was about to walk down the aisle.

I Want The Truth

Henry had always trusted Samantha but couldn’t deny what these people had told him. He had to find out from the horse’s mouth right now – even if it meant interrupting the ceremony

As she reached the altar, he asked her sternly if the messages were true.  A hush fell over the church as everyone waited for her answer.

Bride In Denial

Samantha took a deep breath. What was going on? What had Jonathan done? Why was her future husband questioning her on their wedding day? Couldn’t this wait? She looked innocent and confused.

The stakes were high. She desired a happily ever after with the man of her dreams, but her terrible secret could throw it all away.

Playing Stupid

Samantha felt like she was going to be sick as she looked around at all of the familiar faces around her. She gulped and then said, “No, never.”  

She saw Jonathan’s look of disgust; she was worried now. She turned to her friends and maid of honor, but they just looked down at the floor in shame. 

Looking For Back Up

The frantic bride tried to find out who started the rumors about her, but her maid of honor wouldn’t talk to her. She shunned her in front of everyone.

This was a shock to everyone in attendance –  especially Samantha, who was completely taken aback by the accusations. She pleaded her innocence while Henry remained unyielding in his conviction of her cheating.

Under Wraps

Henry then read aloud all of their conversations from the past few weeks, exposing all of Samanthas’s mistakes.

Her husband had pulled out his phone and started scrolling through different messages. He was confronted with messages from an unknown man, all of them written in a suggestive manner that left no room for doubt. With a broken voice, he said, “who is this person?”

No Denying Now

Samantha burst into tears. She loved Henry so much, and this is what he chose to say to her on their special day.

Rather than saying ‘I do’ to his vows, Henry chose to read out the text messages between her and another man, exposing the affair. All of the guests were completely shocked, and Samantha tried to apologize, but it was too late. Everyone was silent, and the situation was extremely tense. At that time, Henry had no idea that the person who ruined his life was sitting in that room.

The Cat Is Out Of The Bag

All the guests are getting anxious as to why the ceremony halted so suddenly. Many people could be heard asking, “What’s going on?” They left their guests in confusion.

Henry read a few lines from the messages on her phone and looked up at the bride with disbelief. Everyone around them gasped as they realized what was happening – he had just confronted her about cheating on him.

Do You Or Don’t You

The priest who was standing before them tried to get on with the ceremony. He spoke loudly into the mic, hoping to draw attention away from the arguing couple.

The church was filled with family and friends, all eager to witness the union of two people in love. But as soon as the priest asked, “Do you take Samanthato be your lawfully wedded wife?” a hush came over the crowd. The bride’s face became pale, and her knees began to shake.

Impossible Decisions

Henry couldn’t answer. He stared at the cellphone number on the screen. He wanted to call it; he wanted to find out who the man that ruined his life was. How could Samantha stoop so low? 

He always knew that she was attractive to many admirers, but he didn’t think she was this promiscuous. Henry was a broken man, and he couldn’t make such an important decision just then.

Nothing More To Say

The bride had been caught red-handed, and her silence said it all. She tried to explain herself, but her words seemed inadequate for her guilt-ridden heart. 

Henry didn’t believe her at all. She could see it in his face. The proof was undeniable. She knew she looked like a fool making excuses for nothing.

Exposed Bride

The bride’s face turned pale as she realized that her secret was out in the open. She laughed nervously to try and break the tension, but everyone could see the fear on her face. 

Samantha tried to explain her way out of it, but it was too late – everyone knew what had happened. She could feel everyone’s eyes on her as they all waited to hear what she’d say next.

Desperate To Make Amends

The wedding guests were stunned and angry at the same time. Samantha was speechless and started to cry in front of everyone, unable to explain what was happening or why she did it. 

Without uttering a single word more, her husband walked away from the altar and out of the building. The bride felt like she was going to faint as she followed him outside. She was desperate to make things right.

Making His Own Calls

The furious groom was determined to discover the truth and demanded the name of the cheater. Samantha kept begging him to go inside and stop making a scene. 

Henry was blood red and angry and couldn’t hear her plea. He kept calling the number, walking up and down as though it would make the receiver answer faster.

All In The Open

Henry couldn’t take the pressure anymore and decided to go back in and tell his guests what was going on. They didn’t deserve to be sitting in the dark watching a pair of confused people fight. “I’m going to tell everyone what’s happening, Samantha, you messed up, but I have to fix it.”

The distraught bride screamed in agony, “Please, Henry, I promise, it’s not me, don’t do this!” But Henry was livid and stormed back into the main hall.

Centre Of Attention

Henry walked inside the main hall and said, “Attention, everyone, there has been a piece of information that has been brought to my attention recently, and we will have to pause the wedding until further notice.” 

The guests started murmuring in confusion; some were still loitering in the hallways, wondering if the ceremony would ever start again. Samantha stood behind her future husband, hoping he would keep quiet.

Making A Scene

But Henry wasn’t finished; he didn’t want to embarrass Samantha, but he was a broken man and had nothing to lose. The fragile man walked over to the priest and pulled the mic from in front of him. 

He walked over to the bar and drank whiskey straight from the bottle. Samantha’s throat choked up as she realized what Henry was about to do.

Drama

Henry stood in the middle of the mall, facing his guests. “This man,” he said, “is the man that stopped my wedding today. I don’t know who he is because he won’t answer his phone,” he shouted angrily as he waved the phone in the air. 

The guests were feeling awkward, and some got up to leave. “No, no, dear friends, don’t go anywhere; we have someone important to invite to the wedding,” the distraught man said. 

Calling Him Out

Henry started fidgeting with the phone, trying to press the keyboard with a mic in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. Samantha begged him to get down and stop making a scene.

Henry shushed his would-be bride and said, “we have someone very important to invite to our wedding, my love; I mean, we had to stop for him after all. Hang on, hang on, maybe he will answer.” Samantha stared at him, horrified; who was he talking about?

Closer To Home

Everyone was focused on the arguing couple on stage when a loud ring trilled through the air. The phone rang three times, but whoever it was couldn’t answer in time. 

People started to look around where the ringing was coming from. All their eyes turned around to face one man sitting in the first row.

Nobody Would Have Suspected

Steven, who was sitting in the crowd, was getting uncomfortable. He jumped up as his phone rang and stood up. Henry noticed the ringing and turned to face his guest. “Ah, wrong number,” Steve said and cut the call. 

Henry noticed the phone light dim in his hand. He dialed the number again. This time it rang before Steven could sit down.

Caught In The Act

Henry was one step ahead of him. “Why don’t you answer your phone, Steven? ” he said with a sneer. “I’m sure whoever it is has something important to say.” Steven looked horrified. He couldn’t put his phone on silent in time; it was too late. He was caught out; there was no denying it now.

Samantha burst out crying. Henry had played a detective on his wedding day. Steven cheated with his best friend’s fiance more than once and just before their engagement, too.

Desperate For Pity

Steven was embarrassed and tried to defend himself by saying he loved Samantha. Henry, however, could not forgive her and told her that he could not marry her before storming off. Samantha was left standing alone at the altar, crying and feeling ashamed.

Steven then stepped forward and said that he would marry her instead. Upon hearing this, Henry returned outraged and punched Steven in the face. All the guests tried to intervene and break up the fight, but it was too late. 

The Truth Prevails

Samantha knew that Henry would never forgive her. He was followed by their friends who didn’t know what else to say or do in this sad situation. Samantha felt like she was alone in this world as she watched all of them leave the room.

The wedding ended in disaster, and everyone was left shocked and upset. Samantha had ruined her wedding day, relationship, and reputation all in one day. She had hurt not only Henry but also everyone who was present. The couple eventually went their separate ways, and Samantha was left to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart.
