His Fiancée Dumped Him At His Friend’s Wedding, And Then He Had To Give His Best Man Speech
This 31-year-old man proposed to his 32-year-old fiancée after a year of dating, and pretty recently, they attended a wedding together.
He was asked to be the best man at this wedding, which was for one of his very good friends. He did have a ton of responsibilities, given his role, and he had to do a lot to prepare.
The groom even sent out an itinerary for all the groomsmen that broke down everything in the weeks before the wedding.
It outlined the whole rehearsal dinner, as well as what would be expected on the day of the wedding and the day after.
He, in turn, let his fiancée know about everything, as she was invited to be included in the rehearsal dinner.
His fiancée informed him that she would not be attending, as she thought the rehearsal dinner should be reserved for the closest friends and family members, which she was not a part of.
He didn’t agree with her, but he didn’t want to push and make her upset. He did ask a couple of days later if she had a change of heart, but she still had no interest in going to the rehearsal dinner.
When the day of the rehearsal dinner rolled around, he was working from home while rushing to get things completed.
He had to pack, and he had to finish up his speech as the best man. He then left to go to the hotel, where he was booked to stay for two nights, and he finished his final meeting for work there.

He wanted to be at the hotel so that he would be right near the restaurant where the rehearsal dinner was taking place and wouldn’t have to scramble around more than he already had to.
When he did check into the hotel, he made his fiancée aware of this, and she instantly got angry with him.
She was mad he didn’t tell her he was leaving that early, as she insisted she would have gone with him.
He pointed out to his fiancée that they had discussed plans several times, and she never said she wanted to come with him on the night of the rehearsal dinner.
“But I told her that I would love if she came and that she should come that night if she is able to,” he explained.
“She remained upset and said that I’m self centered and don’t care about her at all and didn’t care if she was there or not. Not true at all.”
“She didn’t talk to me that night or the next day at all until she arrived for the ceremony. She is visibly upset and looks like she does not want to be there. She sits through the whole ceremony, and I am excited to go over to greet her with my friends.”
He could tell his fiancée was detached, and she hardly said a single word to him or his friends. He attempted to speak to her about why she was so unhappy, as he genuinely wanted to understand where the breakdown in communication had happened.
He tried to have a discussion with her, but after several minutes, she stormed out of the wedding. He chased her back to her car in the parking lot and sat down with her in an effort to calm her down.
Some time elapsed before his fiancée confessed to him that she wants to end things since he doesn’t care about her in the least.
“I’m heartbroken and walk back inside to eat dinner and give a speech in front of 200 guests, completely rattled,” he said.
“The next day, I arrive at my house very tired and hungover and all of her stuff was removed from my house (we lived together at my place). I was even more shocked and didn’t know what to do. I called my family members and told them what happened.”
“She tried calling/texting me, saying that she didn’t mean it, and acted impulsively. But also that it’s equally our fault. A week or so goes by, and then she texts me again, saying she wants to work it out. I’m unsure at that point if I can trust her again. It was an awful memory, and I don’t know how someone who claims to love you and get married to you can abandon and hurt you intentionally like that.”
