Two days before our wedding, my heart almost stopped. Fred, my fiancé, had a bachelor party. After a while, I received a bouquet of flowers with a card that read, “I don’t.” His phone was off. In desperation, I called his mom and poured it all out to her, and she said:

MIL: “I’m so sorry, I think maybe he realized you weren’t right for each other.”

I spent hours crying, feeling utterly devastated. Suddenly, my phone rang—it was Fred!

Fred: “Maya, are you out of your mind breaking up with me now?”

Me: “How dare you?! You’re the one who cut me off! I received your bouquet!!”

Fred: “What are you talking about? I didn’t send anything!”

Soon, both of us were left totally shocked when it turned out the bouquet had been sent by Fred’s best man, Tom, as a prank. Tom thought it would be hilarious to play a joke on us right before the wedding, not realizing the emotional chaos it would cause.

Fred and I confronted Tom, who was initially oblivious to the havoc he’d wreaked. His face turned pale as he realized the gravity of his actions.

Tom: “Oh my God, Maya, Fred, I’m so sorry. I thought it would be a funny joke. I never imagined it would cause this much pain.”

Fred: “Tom, that was incredibly stupid and irresponsible. You nearly ruined everything!”

Me: “Do you have any idea what you put us through? This is not a joke. This is our life!”

Tom was genuinely remorseful, and although it took some time for us to forgive him, we eventually did. The whole ordeal brought Fred and me even closer together. We realized how deeply we cared for each other and how nothing could come between us.

On our wedding day, we were more united than ever. As I walked down the aisle, Fred’s eyes met mine, filled with love and reassurance. We exchanged vows, knowing that we could overcome any challenge as long as we faced it together.

And as for Tom, he gave the most heartfelt and apologetic speech at the reception, promising never to play such a prank again. Our friends and family laughed and cried with us, celebrating not just our union but also the strength and resilience of our love.

In the end, what started as a cruel joke became a testament to the power of communication, trust, and the unbreakable bond between Fred and me. Our love story had a rocky twist, but it only made our happily ever after even sweeter.
