The Wedding That Wasn’t: A Toast to Truth and a Cake to Go
a week before our wedding, I found out my fiancée was cheating on me with my friend. I decided to play along and let the wedding proceed as planned. Then I raised my glass and said, “I have a little surprise. I prepared a slideshow of our most cherished moments.” The crowd cheered as the projector screen lit up.
Only, it wasn’t photos of us. It was them. Caught in a hotel together, holding hands, sneaking kisses. The room fell silent, and then came the gasps. My fiancée’s face turned pale, and my best friend stood frozen. She finally shrieked, “Turn it off!”
As the chaos unfolded, I picked up the wedding cake and left with it. I sold the wedding gifts and used the money to take myself on a luxurious solo vacation. Some people thought I went too far, but honestly, I’ve never felt better.
