Feeling slightly better, I took out my phone and spent hours carefully drafting apology messages to every guest who had been invited to our wedding. I humbly explained that the wedding was canceled.
But the replies baffled me—many guests said Jonas had told them the wedding was still going ahead as planned.
One friend, someone I was close with, hesitated for a while before finally adding me to a group chat.
The group's name? Wedding in Progress.
The admin of the group was Jonas, and just as I joined, he sent a chat.
[Folks, we can't wait to see y'all at my wedding with Mitch! See y'all in a month!]
So it's true—the wedding was still happening. The only difference was that... the groom had a new bride.
I scrolled through the chat history, finding messages from him even late at night. He had been meticulously planning every detail of the wedding, handling everything himself.
Someone then mentioned: [In a month? I heard the Rockefellers are also holding a wedding next month.]
Jonas replied smugly. [Guess Mitch and I are really meant to be. Even a big-shot family like the Rockefellers wants to share our spotlight!]
