The Bride’s Father Knew All Along
My friend, we will call her Klarah, invited me as her plus-one because her girlfriend couldn’t make it and she didn’t want people to try to hit on her. Since I was free, I volunteered to go.
The moment we show up, everything seemed normal, so Klarah breaks away to go talk to the groom. Meanwhile, I wandered around and found a tense older man in the back.
I thought maybe he was nervous, so I decided to chat it up with him. After getting to know him a bit, he apologized to me for “Going so far out of my way for a wedding that’ll get canceled.”
Outside I was like “Oh no, whatever do you mean?” but on the inside, I was screaming for joy and going “Talk about a plot twist!” It ended up being the juiciest story I’ve ever heard.
Turns out, the old man was the groom’s dad, and he had proof that the bride-to-be was only using his son as a meal ticket, and she planned on leaving him after he paid off all her college debt and bought a house so she could try and take it in the divorce.
He got all this from one of the bridesmaids who secretly had a crush on the groom and didn’t want to see his life get ruined.
I’m talking, this guy had screenshots of admitting what she was planning to do, recordings, pictures of the bride cheating on the groom, the whole package.
Of course, I asked the dad why he hadn’t put a stop to the wedding sooner. Turns out, he only found out a few minutes before I showed up, and he was downing a few drinks to make it easier to deliver the news.
He asked me not to tell anyone, which I obliged, so after buying him a round, I went off to find Klarah and quietly waited for everything to hit the fan.
I see the dad skulk off towards where the groom was, and an hour or so later the proceedings begin to start. The groom is standing silently on the altar, and you could tell that he was tense and trying to not show how livid he really was.
Not long after, the music starts to float through the air and the bride was grinning widely as she proudly made her way down the aisle.
You could really tell the groom was trying his best not to explode, especially during the vows. Then when it was his turn to say “I Do,” he quickly capped it off with a loud “NOT!” and just exploded on her.
Like, you could see his veins popping out of his forehead and he was shaking with rage. Everybody was confused, the bride’s family started screaming at the groom’s family, it was a gong show.
The groom announced to everyone that he’s calling off the wedding because, and I quote, “Because she’s an unfaithful you-know-what who’s not even fit enough to work at Hooters.”
The bride stormed off, fights broke out, and I was sitting in the back giggling in the background watching this all unfold while Klarah was cringing from embarrassment because the whole time she was talking about how rock-solid the relationship was.
Last I heard, the bridesmaid and groom ended up getting together a few months after the wedding. LuLuCheng
