A maid-of-honor ditched a wedding last minute after learning of the bride's sick betrayal. In a Reddit post the former friend broke down the details leading up to her walking out on her maid-of-honor duties.
The woman says that she and her ex-boyfriend, who she referred to as John, had formerly dated for four years. Their relationship was pretty serious, to the point that they talked about getting married and having kids. But out of nowhere, John suddenly ended up dumping her without notice.
"I tried to figure out what went wrong, but he said it was 'personal' and that I should respect his space," the woman wrote. "During this time, my best friend 'Stacy' and her fiancé 'Tom' were my rocks, letting me crash at their place and just being overwhelmingly supportive and loving. When Stacy asked me to be her maid-of-honor, I thought it was a no-brainer and happily took on the task."
Fast forwarding to the day of the wedding, the Reddit user says Tom asked her to meet him for breakfast early in the morning before the festivities got started for the day. "I thought it was weird but assumed he maybe wanted me to pass something on to Stacy."

But that's not at all how things went. "What happened instead was that Tom let me know that a few days prior, Stacy admitted to him that she had an affair with John, which was what lead to my breakup. He said that Stacy wanted to come clean to 'start their marriage fresh', and that he was forgiving her to move forward."
"He had gone back and forth between telling me, and finally decided to spill the beans. I guess he had expected me to forgive Stacy too because the affair was 'so long ago'. The opposite pretty much happened, and I just walked out on the wedding."
The original poster says her ditching the wedding caused everything to go downhill because she was "basically running the whole show." She also said everyone realized that she was missing from the wedding and news of the affair quickly spread because her cousin knew John.
"Stacy and Tom have both been slandering me online now, saying that I ruined their once in a lifetime moment. Some of their friends are on their side, saying that I should have handled the situation more privately, and at least stuck out the wedding since it was so last minute," she wrote.
"I personally don't know what Tom expected, but either way I've been getting bombarded with texts and I heard that Stacy has been so upset she's had to take time off work, which does make me feel like an AH. Especially since I've just been ignoring her calls."
Reddit users in the comments ended up defending the woman.
"So wait," someone commented. "Your BEST friend has an affair with your then fiancé. He breaks up with you over it, canceling your happily ever after. She asks you to be her MOH but everyone is upset with you because you found out she slept with YOUR fiancé and you can’t suck it up for a few hours to make HER day great to start her happily ever after. NTA."
