29 People Share Jaw-Dropping Real-Life Stories About Being Left At The Altar
Weddings are one of the most planned out events ever. How can’t they be? They symbolize the moment two people decide to spend the rest of their lives together, and, understandably, couples want that moment to be as magical as possible.
These grand events don’t just happen in one day but are planned for months and sometimes as long as a year or two.
They also drain many people’s pockets, but we guess it’s all worth it to have the perfect wedding that the bride and groom have probably been planning since they were kids.
Unfortunately, not all weddings end with the bride and groom saying their “I Dos” and sharing heartfelt vows.
Some weddings end in the most chaotic ways possible, and while those usually make for the best dramatic moments on television, the pain that comes with them is anything but superb.
One Redditor thought it was a good idea to have multiple people share their “left at the altar” stories, whether they had been directly involved or not.
Redditors never pass up on the opportunity to share stories, so the post got several responses.
We’ve carefully compiled some of the most heartbreaking responses. Scroll down to take a look at them!
