She texted her husband and he came up with her and never returned.

The party went on.

She went back without her husband, saying she needed ‘a couple of drinks.’

At the end of the night, she went to an after-party at a bar with just the groomsmen.

The next day, the bride and groom had breakfast at separate tables.”

“The bride was dead set on wearing not one, but two designer gowns.

To finance all of that, there was no heating at the lovely February wedding.

They also provided only food and cake for a third of the guests.

The food itself was two small patties, white sauce, and about 3 ounces of cooked chicken.

But she did love both her dresses!”

“I was a bridesmaid in a wedding where one of the other bridesmaids had feelings for the groom.

The bride and groom had talked about it I think they ghosted her after the wedding.”

“I went to a wedding where the bridesmaids also wore white.

It was so awkward and everyone talked about it at the reception but ignored it during the ceremony.”

I was jealous because I wanted something like they had.

Turns out her sister and fiance had been sleeping together for a while.

She was pregnant, and they ran off to Vegas to get married so, no wedding.”
