Days before my wedding to the person that meant the world to me, I learned he was cheating on me. My world collapsed and I felt like there was a no way out of the situation I found myself in.

It was a betrayal that couldn’t be explained away with apologies, nor brushed aside. Yet, I didn’t cancel dress fittings, I didn’t stop answering calls, and I didn’t tell anyone. Well, until I couldn’t stay silent any longer and told my father everything. How hurt I was, and how ashamed I was to cancel the wedding.

Everything was ready for the wedding. Our plane tickets were paid for and hotel was booked for our honeymoon. The guests had already rearranged their lives for that day.
