They Held a Secret Wedding behind My Back
My wedding day was supposed to be legendary. I mean, you can picture it: a huge barn, 250 guests, and every detail planned down to the final candle, all arranged by my family.
But when the big day arrived, I was standing there in my gown, staring at a room with only 30 guests.
As if that wasn’t strange enough, I soon realized that it wasn’t just my distant cousins who’d flaked. No. My parents, my bridesmaids, and even my fiancé were nowhere to be seen.

I pulled out my phone, trying to reach anyone who’d answer. First, my mom. Then Ethan, my fiancé. Then bridesmaids, cousins, and even my uncle Rob.
Dead silence. Until, finally, one of my bridesmaids picked up.
“Where is everyone, Celia?” I demanded, panicked and half out of my mind. “What’s going on? If this is a prank, it’s not the least bit funny!”

Her voice was cold. Celia was Ethan’s cousin and when I needed one more bridesmaid to match the number of groomsmen, he suggested her.
“Lose my number, you has-been woman,” she spat. “Nobody is waiting for you here.”
I froze.
“What do you mean? Celia! What… ceremony are you at? I’m standing alone at the entrance to the barn!”
There was a pause, the air growing thick.

“Oh, so you don’t know?” she laughed dryly. “Here, I’ll put your mom on. She’ll explain it to you.”
I could hear a rustling on the other end, and then my mom’s voice came on, casual, like she was calling me about weekly brunch plans.
“Didn’t you get my message this morning?” she asked.

“What message? Mom, what are you talking about? Why are you guys doing this to me?” I asked, the tears close to falling down my face.
My mother sighed like I was the one causing the problems.
“Well,” she began, and I could practically hear the smugness in her voice. “Look, Amy. We just thought that Ethan would be better off with your cousin. And well, she’s pregnant.”

Her words hit me like a cheap shot in a fight.
“What? Which cousin? What are you talking about?”
“Ashley, Amy,” my mother said. “She’s expecting Ethan’s baby. And we all thought that they’d make a better match than you and him, anyway. So we set up a ceremony this morning. They’re a married couple now. A married couple expecting their baby together.”

I stood there, gripping my phone so hard that my knuckles turned white.
“So, the wedding that I’m at…” I said slowly, feeling the words cut my throat. “It’s just a cover? Or a prank? Did you enjoy hurting me?”
“Sweetheart, you’re young. You’ll get over it,” my mother replied, her tone detached. “Family has to make difficult decisions sometimes. Just… go back in there and wrap things up. Maybe you’ll get a refund on the food.”

I dropped my phone, my head spinning. This couldn’t be real. I looked around at the guests who had shown up, people who hadn’t abandoned me for some twisted, family-approved plot.
I took a shaky breath, blinked back tears, and did the only thing I could think of.
Stepping to the front of the barn, I raised my voice.

“Hi everyone,” I started, forcing a smile. “Thank you for coming. I know you’re all wondering where everyone else is. Well… so am I.”
A few confused laughs rippled through the room, and I took a deep breath. I noticed that the guests present were mainly mine and Ethan’s colleagues from work. Of course, they hadn’t been told the change of plans.
“The truth is, my family isn’t here because they decided that I wasn’t the one who should be getting married today.”

I sighed.
“Apparently, they had a wedding for my fiancé and my cousin this morning. They’re a married couple expecting their baby together,” I said, echoing my mother’s words.
Gasps and murmurs filled the space. A friend in the front row covered her mouth, her eyes wide.

“Thank you for being here,” I said, looking around the shocked faces. “I don’t know how to make sense of this yet, but I’m so grateful to each of you.”
I gave them all a nod, turned, and walked out of the barn.
It’s been years since that day. I moved far away, cut all ties, and started over. Sometimes people ask why I don’t speak to my family, but I just smile and say they’re better off without me.
They can all go to hell.

My SIL Decided to Ruin My Wedding Because I’m Not Good Enough for Her Brother
I’d heard so much about Colin’s sister, Meredith. He described her as strong-willed and fun, someone he shared a deep connection with.
So, when she finally flew in for our wedding, I was excited to meet her. I’d hoped for a warm start, but nothing prepared me for what happened instead.

When I arrived home, I could hear laughter coming from the living room. As I walked in, I found Colin and Meredith on the couch, laughing as he tickled her. It seemed playful, but something felt off.
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a story about inappropriate family relations or anything of the sort. Meredith and Colin were just that close.
“Hey,” I called out.

But there was no answer. I tried again, louder this time.
“Hey!”
Still, no response.
Finally, fed up, I raised my voice to my best kindergarten teacher’s voice.
“Colin!”

They stopped laughing, and Meredith gave me a dirty look.
“Jeez, no need to shout,” she said.
Colin jumped up, looking surprised.
“Alexis! Honey, I didn’t hear you come in,” he said. He hugged me, but I could barely respond.

“You two seemed pretty busy,” I said, forcing a smile.
Meredith laughed.
“He’s always been like this with me,” she said. “Tickling has always been a family thing. We just love hearing each other laugh.”
Trying to ignore the weird vibe, I reached to hug her.

“Meredith, I’m so happy to finally meet you!” I said.
She hugged me back, but coldly, like touching me was taboo.
“Well, Colin hasn’t told me much about you,” she said.
“Colin hasn’t?” Colin repeated, frowning. “That’s not true, Mer. I’ve told you plenty about Alexis.”

She shrugged.
“Why didn’t you come to the airport with him?” she asked, her tone sharp and reprimanding.
“I was at work; I couldn’t leave,” I explained, feeling uncomfortable at this point.
Meredith raised an eyebrow.
“Well, I would have taken the day off if my future sister-in-law were visiting and I was meeting her for the first time.”

“If I could have, I would have,” I replied, keeping my voice steady.
During dinner, I tried to join in, but Meredith kept steering the conversation to memories only they shared. Every time I spoke, they’d just move on as if I hadn’t said anything.
Instead of trying anymore, I twisted my engagement ring around my finger. I mentally went through wedding plans, reminding myself I needed to decide on the final floral arrangements. And the final design of the wedding cake.

I also needed to choose the song I wanted to walk down the aisle. Suddenly, the list seemed too long and tiring…
After dinner, Colin stood to help clear the table.
“Wow, your future wife can’t even handle the dishes herself?” Meredith muttered, glaring at me.
“Mer, I don’t mind helping,” he replied, shrugging.
She just smirked.

“Well, I don’t know how things go down here, but I wouldn’t let my fiancé do ‘women’s work’ like this. But it’s your life, Colin.”
She turned around, leaving her plate for Colin to pick up anyway.
“And don’t be long, Colin,” she said. “I’ll be waiting for our movie marathon. You and me, just like old times.”
I felt my patience snap in half.

“What was all that about?” I asked Colin when she was gone, probably already making herself comfortable in his bedroom.
“Oh,” he said, holding a dirty pot. “I forgot to tell you, Mer is doing a movie marathon with me tonight. And I wanted to do it in my bedroom because my back and the couch are just not friends.”
“And where am I supposed to sleep?” I asked.
“You can sleep in the guest room,” he replied calmly.

“Why doesn’t she sleep in the guest room?” I demanded.
“Come on, Alexis,” he sighed. “There’s no TV in the guest room. And it’s just one night, honey.”
“Fine, but only for tonight.”
The next morning, after a sleepless night, I made pancakes, Colin’s favorite. Meredith strolled in, watching me with a smirk.

“What are you making?” she asked.
“Chocolate chip pancakes. Colin’s favorite,” I replied stiffly.
She scoffed loudly as she put the kettle on.
“Colin likes pancakes with bacon, Alexis,” she said as if I was stupid. “I know my brother.”

“Maybe when you were kids,” I said. “But now he likes chocolate chips.”
“Colin!” she suddenly called out. “What kind of pancakes do you like better? Chocolate chip or plain buttermilk with bacon on the side?”
“Bacon, I guess,” he answered quickly.
I felt my heart sink.
“But I make you chocolate chip pancakes all the time,” I said.

“Yeah, but honey, they’re not the same as Meredith’s.”
“Told you,” she said, satisfaction dripping from her voice.
I set down the spatula.
“Fine, let Meredith make your breakfast,” I said.

Later, I overheard their conversation.
“Your fiancé isn’t good enough for you, Colin. You deserve better, and you know it.”
“You’re right,” Colin replied. “I’ll talk to her.”
Furious, I marched into the living room.

“I’ve had enough of this nonsense,” I said. “If you’re choosing to side with her over me, then you can have her, Colin.”
I threw my engagement ring at him, hearing it bounce off him and onto the floor.
I turned on my heel, my mind was made up. I was done. And like that, my wedding dreams were over before they really began.

Man Finds Out about His Bride’s Betrayal – He Goes to the Altar with a Remote Control in His Hands
As my brother Liam’s wedding approached, excitement buzzed through the air. Liam, notorious for his pranks, hinted at a huge surprise for the big day, keeping us all on edge.
He and Denise had been together for years, and when she asked me to be a bridesmaid, it felt right.
Denise was like family.
“Daphne, I need you with me on my big day,” she’d said, gifting me a box of goodies. “You’re not just Liam’s sister, you’re mine too.”

I gladly accepted.
Denise had even planned my 21st birthday when my friends flaked, so I thought I knew her well. And to be honest, she’d spent more time planning her wedding with me than with Liam, who seemed content to just show up on the day.
But secretly, he was putting together a surprise video montage to play before their vows.

“I’m saving all our best photos and videos,” he told me one night, showing me the project on his laptop. I could see the effort he was pouring into it, and it melted my heart.
On the morning of the wedding, I went to see Liam.
“You have no idea what’s coming,” he teased, sipping champagne as he got ready.

“Oh boy,” I laughed, feeling the suspense. “I can’t wait.”
The ceremony was perfect. Denise had planned every detail, from the flowers to the music. But when it was time for the vows, Liam held up his hand.
“Wait,” he said to the priest. “I have something to show you all.”
He pulled out a remote, and his groomsmen rolled a large TV to the front of the altar.

“This,” he announced, “this… is our love story.”
The screen lit up with images of Liam and Denise’s life together—their first dates, vacations, nights spent cooking together. The guests were enthralled, and Denise’s face glowed as she watched.
But then the video shifted.

In a sharp turn, a new clip played.
Denise was in their home, but she wasn’t alone. She was with another man, wrapped in his arms, in lingerie.
The room went deathly silent. Guests’ heads turned to Denise, whose face had turned ghostly pale. Her mouth opened, but no words came out.

“This… can’t be happening,” she stammered, more to herself than anyone.
Then, to everyone’s shock, the man from the video, a guest seated at the back, stood up visibly shaken.
“Oh, hell,” he muttered, looking around nervously.
Liam’s voice broke the silence.

“This is why I won’t be marrying Denise today,” he said, his voice calm but heavy with anger. “I couldn’t let everyone here witness a lie.”
The atmosphere shifted from celebratory to tense. Denise staggered back, glancing around as if searching for an ally.
She kicked off her heels, holding them by the straps.

“Liam, please, not here,” she begged, her voice breaking. “Let’s talk outside.”
My heart twisted as I watched her. Denise and I had been so close, but now I saw her for what she was: someone who’d hurt my brother.
Her tears didn’t move him.
“How long has this been going on?” Liam demanded.

“Not long,” she whispered, her composure crumbling. “I never wanted you to find out.”
“In our home, Denise?” he asked, his voice hard. “You brought him into our home.”
Guests gasped, some whispering, others turning away from the unfolding scene.
The priest, at a loss, stepped back. Denise took a shaky step toward Liam, tears streaming down her face.

“Liam, please. Let’s just talk this through.”
But he turned on his heel and walked down the aisle, leaving her standing there alone. Denise ran after him, calling his name, but he didn’t even look back.
Later, I found Liam at the hotel bar, eating a bowl of olives and nursing a drink. He looked up as I approached.

“Did you know?” he asked quietly.
“No,” I said. “I had no idea.”
He took a long drink, then sighed.
“I found the video while going through Denise’s files. I thought I’d find more photos to add to the montage, but instead… I found that.”

“Did I go too far, showing everyone?” he asked.
I thought for a moment. There were no good answers here.
“Maybe,” I admitted. “But she left you no choice. You deserved the truth.”
Liam gave a small nod.
“Let’s go find some cake,” he said finally. “It shouldn’t go to waste.”
I followed my brother into the dining room, letting Denise be the past. Right now, he needed me in his corner.

I Was Always Invisible Until the Most Handsome Man at Work Noticed Me but the Truth Shattered My Heart — Story of the Day
He never even knew my name until one day, he did. Suddenly, the most charismatic man in the office was everywhere, flashing his perfect smile and asking me out. But why now? Something didn’t add up. And when I finally discovered the reason, it shattered me.
When no one notices you, at first, it hurts. You try to change the situation. Then, you accept it. And eventually, you even find an advantage in it.

That day, I sat at my desk, watching as my male colleagues swarmed around our new coworker, Claire.
She was obviously attractive, so their reaction wasn’t surprising. But when Mark approached her, the others quickly backed off.
I let out a quiet chuckle as I watched. Mark was the most handsome and charismatic man in the office—I was convinced even other men wouldn’t mind if he took them to bed.

He flirted with Claire, and she giggled at his jokes, twirling a strand of her blonde hair around her finger.
At that moment, Anthony, my boss, approached me. “Sara, do you remember our new project?” he asked, glancing at the laptop screen in front of me.
“Yes, of course. I’m leading it,” I replied, adjusting my glasses.

“I’m counting on you,” Anthony said with a nod, his tone full of expectation.
I worked at an IT company, and we were launching a new dating app. Anthony had chosen me to lead the project because, no matter how unnoticeable I was, my work results were the best.
He had also offered me an opportunity to work abroad at one of our other branches, but I declined, even though the salary would have been much higher.

During lunch, I noticed an irritated Mark walking up to Anthony. Curious about what had upset our golden boy this time, I decided to eavesdrop.
“Who did you assign the dating app to?” Mark asked, his voice laced with disbelief.
“Sara. Is there a problem?” Anthony replied, sounding amused.
“Sara? We don’t have anyone by that name,” Mark scoffed, and I felt my jaw tighten.

“She’s sitting right over there,” Anthony said, pointing at me. I continued pretending not to hear them, keeping my eyes fixed on my screen.
“I thought I’d be handling the dating app. This isn’t fair,” Mark protested, folding his arms across his chest.
“To my office. Now,” Anthony ordered.
I finished my lunch just in time to see Mark walking out of Anthony’s office, looking pleased with himself.

I had no idea what they had discussed, but no one had told me I was off the project, so I remained calm, though a tiny seed of doubt had been planted in my mind.
The next day, Mark approached me with his signature smile, hovering over my desk like a shadow. I gave him a questioning look.
“Sonia…” he began, leaning in slightly.

“Sara,” I corrected him, not bothering to hide my irritation.
“Right. Sara.” He chuckled, as if amused by his own mistake. “Want to grab lunch together?” he asked, his voice dripping with casual charm.
“I already ate,” I replied flatly, typing away at my keyboard.
“Then how about a drink after work?” he suggested, tilting his head.

I turned to face him. “You didn’t even know my name a minute ago. I bet you didn’t even know I worked here,” I said, recalling his conversation with Anthony. “What’s this really about?”
“I just thought it’d be nice to hang out with a lovely colleague,” Mark said smoothly, flashing that infamous smirk that made other women melt.
I scoffed.

“Oh, come on. It’ll be fun,” he insisted, his persistence almost amusing.
“I have a lot of work,” I said, turning back to my computer.
Mark lingered for a moment before sighing and walking away, but I could feel his eyes on me for a few seconds longer than necessary.
As usual, I stayed late at the office. But when I finally looked up from my screen, I was surprised to see Mark still there. Normally, by the time I finished, the office was empty.

I stood up, gathered my things, and headed to the elevator. Mark did the same. He followed me, and the whole thing felt strange.
We stepped into the elevator, and it started moving. Then, suddenly, it stopped.
“What’s going on? Are we stuck?” I asked, pressing a few buttons.
“Looks like it,” Mark replied, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

I pressed the emergency button and explained the situation. The response came: we’d have to wait about two hours.
Mark sighed and sat on the floor, stretching his legs out in front of him. After a moment, I did the same.
“So, tell me about yourself,” he said, tilting his head toward me.
“What?” I chuckled, raising an eyebrow.
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
“What’s funny?” he asked, looking genuinely confused.
“Come on, I’ve worked here for years, and most people don’t even know I exist. Why the sudden interest?” I asked, crossing my arms.
“I’m just curious,” he said, shrugging.
“Then why don’t you tell me about yourself?” I countered, narrowing my eyes.
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
“Oh, please. You probably know everything about me already,” Mark smirked. “Everyone does.”
That made me laugh again. “That confidence.”
“What? Is that a bad thing?” he asked, grinning.
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
“No, not if it’s real. But being invisible has given me an advantage—I notice things. And you, Mark, are nothing but an act. A performer trying to mask his insecurities with fake confidence. So what’s behind all of it? Daddy issues? Mommy didn’t pay attention to you?” I asked, leaning back against the wall.
“Oh, screw you,” he muttered, rolling his eyes.
We sat in silence for a while until Mark finally spoke again.

“My dad left us when I was three. My mom raised me alone. Then, when I was a teenager, he suddenly came back and tried to mold me into his perfect son. I guess I’m still trying to prove something to him,” he admitted, his voice quieter than usual.
“I get it,” I said, my voice softer now.
Mark looked at me curiously.
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
“My mom left us. My dad raised me alone. But she never came back. The last time I saw her, I was thirteen. She told me she was ashamed I was her daughter because, at my age, she had been way more popular,” I said, my throat tightening slightly at the memory.
“She’s an idiot,” Mark said, shaking his head. “I asked Anthony about you. You have the best results in the company. I thought I did. And you’re beautiful, even if your lack of confidence hides it.”
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
“Guess everyone copes with trauma differently,” I said, managing a small smile.
“Guess so,” Mark replied.
Just then, the elevator started moving again. When we stepped out, Mark grabbed my wrist.
“How about that drink now?” he asked, his voice gentler than before.

“If you’re going to be the guy from the elevator, then fine. But if you’re putting the mask back on, I’ll pass,” I said, tilting my head slightly.
“I’ll try to be myself,” Mark promised.
And so, we went to a bar. Then the next day. And the next. Before I knew it, we were spending time together every day—even on weekends.
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
I saw a different side of Mark. The real him. The one who was afraid of spiders and teared up when a dog died in a movie.
One evening, I couldn’t resist anymore—I kissed him. And the moment I did, I knew it was right. With him, I felt like myself.
One day at the office, I stood outside Anthony’s office and heard voices inside. I hadn’t planned to listen, but I couldn’t help it.

“I told you—I know how to win someone over,” Mark said.
“I didn’t think Sara would fall for it. But you win—the dating app project is yours,” Anthony replied.
“Thanks, but—” Mark started, but I wasn’t listening anymore.
I turned and rushed to the bathroom, locked the door, and leaned against it. My breath came in quick, uneven bursts. My hands shook. Tears slid down my face before I could stop them.

He had lied. He had tricked me to take my job. Every moment we had spent together had been a performance. And I was the fool who believed it. Worse—I had started falling for him.
I forced myself to breathe. I couldn’t fall apart now. Not over him.
I wiped my face, fixed my makeup, and straightened my blazer. Then, I walked straight to Anthony’s office.

“Oh, Sara, I was just about to talk to you,” he said, looking up from his desk.
“I’d like to accept your offer to work abroad. If it’s still available,” I said, keeping my voice steady.
“It is. What changed your mind?” Anthony asked, raising an eyebrow.
“You were right—there are more opportunities for me there,” I said.
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
He studied me for a moment. “When can you leave?”
“Tomorrow,” I replied.
“Tomorrow? Are you sure?”
I nodded. “Yes.”
“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements. You can take the rest of the day off to pack.”
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
I thanked him and walked out. My hands clenched around my bag. I saw Mark heading toward me.
I didn’t slow down. I grabbed my things and stepped into the elevator before he could reach me.
By morning, I was in a taxi headed to the airport. Music played in my headphones, drowning everything else out.

I watched the city blur past. Then, in my window, I saw Mark’s car pull up alongside mine.
He motioned for me to roll down the window. I ignored him. He honked. Annoyed, I lowered it.
“What? Are you here to tell me more lies?” I shouted.
“What are you talking about?” he asked.
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
“I know about your deal with Anthony. If I fell for you, you’d get the dating app project,” I said.
“No—I mean, yes, that was the deal. But not anymore. Everything changed when I started spending time with you,” Mark said.
“More lies! I can’t believe I fell for you, that I even started to have feelings for you!” I yelled.
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
“Really?” Mark asked.
I just rolled up the window and turned away.
A second later, he swerved his car in front of mine, blocking the road. My taxi and other cars behind us came to a halt, their horns blaring in frustration.

It was chaos. Mark hurried over, pulled open my door, and looked at me desperately.
“Listen to me,” he said. “I turned down the dating app project.”
“Don’t lie,” I said, stepping out of the taxi.
“I’m not lying. It’s the truth,” he insisted. “Please, don’t go.”
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
“And why is that?” I asked.
“Because you’re the only person I can be real with. The only one I don’t have to pretend around,” Mark said. “That’s why I won’t let you get on that damn plane.”
“No one asked for your opinion,” I said.
“I’m falling for you too, Sara. Please,” he begged.
For illustration purposes only. | Source: Midjourney
My mind screamed at me to get back in the taxi, go to the airport, and forget Mark.
But my heart had already decided. My feet moved before I could stop them, bringing me closer to him. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me.
“I see you, Sara. And I will never let you feel invisible again,” Mark whispered before kissing me again.
