Her Sister’s Fiancé Blatantly Lied About The Cost Of Her Engagement Ring, So She Told Her Sister, And Now The Wedding Has Been Called Off
This twenty-six-year-old woman has a wife named Katie, who has been a jeweler for a long time.
She also has a twenty-two-year-old sister, Lydia. And Lydia was just proposed to by her fiancé, Seth, about a month ago.
Anyway, Seth comes from a pretty wealthy family since both of his parents work in the business sector. Plus, even though Seth chooses not to follow in his parent’s footsteps and instead works a more “average” job, his parents still send him money regularly– which means he can afford a pretty lavish lifestyle.
And after he proposed to Lydia, they both would not stop boasting about the ring. In fact, Seth would not shut up about how expensive it was and kept claiming the ring was worth a whopping fifty thousand dollars.
But, the engagement quickly came toppling down this past week– and it all started with a ring cleaning.
Since her wife Katie is a ring cleaner, Lydia asked Katie if they would clean and polish the new ring as a favor. And, of course, Katie agreed and took the ring in.
“But, Katie told me later in private that the ring is made of cheap materials and is worth no more than thirty dollars. And after a long conversation, we decided it would be best if I told Lydia,” she recalled.
So, she ended up speaking with Lydia privately and tried to explain, as gently as possible, that Katie had looked at the ring closely and confirmed that it was nowhere near worth the amount of money Seth had claimed it was.
And understandably, Lydia was shocked. Then, Lydia assumed that Seth had been scammed by whatever jeweler he purchased the ring from and planned to tell him about it.

After the pair spoke, though, Lydia found out the ugly truth. Apparently, Seth knew all along that the ring was cheap and just hoped that Lydia would never find out. Yikes!
In turn, Lydia actually ended up breaking off the engagement altogether. Plus, Lydia went to go stay with a friend and has been refusing to speak to Seth.
And even though she thought telling her sister was the right thing to do, her parents are now beyond furious. They believe that she and Katie should have minded their own business and that, by telling Lydia, they completely sabotaged the wedding.
“They also said there is unfair pressure on men to spend a lot of money and that we were being selfish,” she added.
On top of that, many members of her extended family agree with her parents and are painting her and Katie as the villains.
So now, with her entire family against her aside from Lydia– who is just upset that Seth lied– she has begun to wonder if she should have just kept the ring’s true value to herself.
If your sister knew your fiancé had lied to you about something of this magnitude, would you want to know? Is it her fault for telling the truth or Seth’s fault for lying? How would you handle this situation?
