The Girl He Loves Is Getting Married Tomorrow, So He Wants To Crash Her Wedding And Confess His Love For Her
Wedding crashing is just for the movies, right? Well, no. This 24-year-old guy is still in love with a girl named Megan, whom he used to date.
She’s getting married tomorrow, so he wants to crash Megan’s wedding and confess his love for her. While he knows it’s a selfish thing to do, there’s no way he can live with himself if he doesn’t try to stop her from marrying the wrong man.
He began dating Megan four years ago, and she’s the same age as him. They met in college, and they started out as friends before a romance blossomed. They dated for two whole years, and it was pretty incredible.
“It was the kind of love that the people in those stupid movies had,” he explained. “I was obsessed with her; she was all I wanted.”
“But we couldn’t communicate. It had been a tiny issue in our friendship that had been magnified when we got together.”
When Megan got upset, she preferred to be left alone, but he couldn’t handle that. When he’s upset, he wants to talk it out.
Any time they had a problem, Megan would shut down and not speak to him, but he would try to rile her up and force her to say something, which only made it all worse.
It was as they were encountering all this that he came to the conclusion he needed Megan more than she needed him.
“It wasn’t healthy. I had put her on a pedestal she couldn’t meet,” he said. “She got a job offer fresh out of graduation in New York (an English writing thing – we’re from London), and we both knew we wouldn’t survive long distance.”

“We broke up mutually. It was rough. I went right up to the airport with her. It kinda felt like my heart was walking outside of my body. We knew if we were done, we had to be DONE. She blocked me, and I blocked her.”
Six months later, he put himself back out there and began dating. He then went to law school, which he’s about to finish, by the way.
He never heard from Megan again. But in May, he was out walking in Hyde Park when he ran into Megan.
As soon as he caught sight of her, he was amazed by how gorgeous she still is. Her hair was dyed back to her natural brunette color, and her clothing was different than how she used to dress when they were dating.
He felt drawn to her, and so he walked right up to her. Megan asked if they could get coffee and catch up, so that’s what they did.
They spent two hours chatting, and while he went into it hoping they could be friends, by the time they were done with their coffee, he was madly in love with her.
As they talked about anything and everything, Megan removed her gloves, and it was then that he noticed she was wearing an engagement ring.
“She told me she met someone in America, nine months in,” he said. “They’d been together a year before he proposed. A year? She’d always sworn she needed to be with someone for two minimum.”
“I asked her about him she said, “He’s nice and he listens to me, he makes me happy.” He’s nice? Chocolate is nice? A dog is nice; you just described the qualities of a dog.”
“We parted ways. I unblocked her, and she unblocked me. We still have many mutual friends, so once we let them know we were back on good terms, everyone started getting along much better, and she and I hung out. This started in May – it’s October. I am in love with her. I’ve tried to stop. I’ve tried to get with other women. Sure, it works, and I care for them far too little than seems appropriate. I just want her.”
He’s gotten to meet Megan’s fiancé, Mark, and the guy is full of himself. When Megan is present, Mark is on his best behavior.
But when Megan walks away, Mark devolves into this selfish, loud, obnoxious human being. He and all of their shared friends don’t understand what Megan sees in Mark, but she’s getting married to him. Tomorrow.
Earlier this month, he and Megan were at a party together, and she had a lot to drink. Mark was at a pub watching football.
He drove Megan home, and he said he could come in, but he declined. Megan kind of came onto him by saying she’s scared of what she wants, and that was the end of their exchange that night.
She did have a lot to drink, but he’s hung up on that evening while thinking perhaps Megan really does want him and not Mark.
He spent the following two weeks in Italy, but when he returned on October 12th, he learned Megan’s wedding was happening three days later.
He attempted to reach out to her, but all of Megan’s friends say she’s already staying at the cabin where her wedding’s taking place, and there is no cell service.
“If I leave tonight, I’ll make it for the morning of her wedding,” he continued. “I have no other way to reach her.”
“I don’t even know what I’d say. But I can’t let her marry him without telling her I love her. Even if I lose her all over again. Better that. So I think I’m going to do it; I have to, right?”
