A groom's wedding day turned into a devastating disappointment, leaving him single before the evening had even come to an end, while guests remained unaware of what had happened for weeks.
A wedding guest recounted the story on Reddit, explaining that the bride had been drinking heavily when her phone began repeatedly lighting up with notifications. The groom eventually picked up the phone and discovered a series of messages that left him questioning everything.
Discovery During the Reception
According to the guest, the groom found that his bride had been sexting a coworker during the entire wedding. The discovery reportedly came as the celebrations were in full swing, with guests taking to the dance floor.
Rather than continuing with their evening plans, the groom decided to bring their wedding to an abrupt end. The guest claimed he told the officiant not to file the marriage paperwork.
Aftermath and Reactions
The couple did not go on their honeymoon and returned the gifts to everyone. The guests were reportedly left unaware of what had happened for several weeks, as the bride attempted to save their relationship.
However, the guest wasn't sure about the legalities of the marriage and whether simply asking the officiant not to submit the paperwork would be enough to prevent the couple from being legally married.
The story prompted many reactions online, with users praising the groom for seemingly avoiding a lot of paperwork. One user said: "Guy saved himself a bunch of money on the divorce." Another user added: "That's some quick thinking, telling the officiant to discard the paperwork. I would be so furious I wouldn't think logically like that."
