I ruined my best friend’s wedding because she had an affair with my boyfriend – am I wrong?

A young woman has admitted to ruining her best friend’s wedding after learning the bride-to-be ‘was to blame’ for her own failed ‘happily ever after’.

Taking to Reddit the woman, who was due to be Maid of Honour at her best friend’s wedding, said she bailed on the bride, Stacy, hours before the ceremony.

She explained Stacy’s husband-to-be Tom had asked to speak to her before the wedding.

She assumed it was to pass on a message to his beloved, but instead he wanted to get a secret off his chest.

He told the young woman that Stacy had admitted to sleeping with her ex John – and that she had wanted to start married life with a clean slate.

Tom said he was able to move past the indiscretion. But the young woman was not and bailed on the big day.

‘He had gone back and forth between telling me, and finally decided to spill the beans. I guess he had expected me to forgive Stacy too because the affair was “so long ago”,’ she fumed.

‘The opposite pretty much happened, and I just walked out on the wedding.’

This caused ‘a big mess’ she explained.

‘Stacy made me do everything, so she didn’t even know what was happening at certain times or who to call,’ she said.

Before long guests had begun to suspect a rift between the pair.

‘News of the affair eventually got out because her cousin knew John,’ she said.

The young woman said she had planned to marry John, had been with him for four years, and ‘planned their futures together’ before he suddenly turned cold.

‘I thought we were pretty happy, but last year he dumped me pretty suddenly. I tried to figure out what went wrong, but he said it was “personal” and that I should respect his space.’

Stacy and Tom were the ones to pick up the pieces.

They allowed the young woman to crash at their house and were supportive and loving as she moved through her heartbreak.

Now she knows why, because her friend felt bad about being unfaithful.

Tom and Stacy’s relationship appears stronger than ever following the wedding.

And according to their former friend, have united in hate against her, for derailing their big day.

The groom sprung the news on the maid of honour hours before the wedding

‘Stacy and Tom have both been slandering me online now, saying that I ruined their once in a lifetime moment. Some of their friends are on their side, saying that I should have handled the situation more privately, and at least stuck out the wedding since it was so last minute,’ she said.

Now she is starting to feel bad for throwing in the towel on the friendship.

‘I personally don’t know what Tom expected, but either way I’ve been getting bombarded with texts and I heard that Stacy has been so upset she’s had to take time off work, which does make me feel bad.

‘Especially since I’ve just been ignoring her calls,’ she said.

But people sided with the young woman and said the groom knew what he was doing when he shared his bride’s confession.

‘Was walking out of the wedding the day of a nice thing to do? Not particularly. But what on Earth did they expect would happen by telling you? And on the wedding day. They knew they were playing with fire,’ one woman said.

Others said they would have made matters worse.

‘I would have pretended to forgive her and then given hell of a MOH speech, but I’m petty like that,’ one woman said.

‘Right as she’s about to walk down the aisle: “And here is the woman that ruined my previous relationship by cheating on her soon to be husband….” mic drop, grab bottle of bubbles and walk out,’ wrote another.

Some took aim at the groom.

‘He is a doormat, obviously. I mean, how else can you explain him still marrying someone who cheats, especially someone who cheats with her “best friend’s” partner?’ asked one.
