'My bridesmaid got engaged on my wedding day - I was absolutely gobsmacked'
A woman who called off her wedding due to a cheating partner was left 'gobsmacked' when her best friend got engaged on what was meant to be her 'big day'. She revealed it had happened in Italy - where the nuptials were due to take place - as some of the would-be guests had decided to fly over anyway due to everything being 'booked and paid for'. While she was pleased for her pal, who had been given a bridesmaid role, she couldn't help that feel the timing was 'insensitive'.

The full post read: "I had to cancel my wedding four months ago due to my partner cheating with numerous women. "My wedding should have been Saturday just gone in Italy. Some of the wedding party decided to go ahead with the weekend anyway as it was all booked and paid for (flights, Airbnbs, etc), which I was fine with as they has paid a big expense to attend. "My best friend (and bridesmaid) was one of these guests and she contacted me via Facetime yesterday to tell me her boyfriend proposed on Saturday (which should have been my wedding day) on the beach in Italy. "I was absolutely gobsmacked and replied saying I was pleased for her but I needed time to process the news and ended the call. "I am happy for her but I do feel it's totally insensitive and I'm in total shock. How do I move past this?" Many of the people who replied insisted the pal wasn't to blame. One said: "Was she supposed to turn him down because of the date? Or just not tell you? "I can understand why you'd be a bit sad about it, but she's not really done anything wrong." A second wrote: "Her boyfriend proposed. Should she have said no? "I'm not sure she could have done much if it was a surprise proposal. If you're upset speak to her fiancé." A third chipped in: "So she got engaged on a day that you're not even getting married on anymore? "I thought you were going to say they got down on one knee or something in the middle of the photo taking bit or something. Now THAT would have been a bit more unreasonable." A fourth reply read: "She didn't get engaged on your wedding day. "I'm sorry to hear that you've had such a tough time, but she really hasn't done anything wrong." Offering some advice, another said: "It's better if you stop thinking of it as your wedding day, as it wasn't. "You're better off without him, don't lose friends over him too." A more sympathetic forum user said: "Your friend should have shown more tact in how she told you. "She didn't need to FaceTime you to tell you this news given it was meant to have been your wedding day. "She could have sent you a brief message to update you so you could collect your thoughts and respond when you were ready, there's plenty of people who could have been able to take that call to celebrate the news in that moment and it shouldn't have been you. "I'm sorry for what you've been through. Well done for leaving the cheat before marriage."

He got down on one knee while they dined inside a garden igloo pod, leaving Holly stunned and crying with joy. She captioned the post: "The easiest 'YES'. "You bring the best out of me, you care about my opinion, you make me feel safe with being vulnerable, you allow my imperfect days, we work through conflict, you're my support network, you give me 100 per cent every single day. "I finally understand the meaning of 'finding the one'. I love you." Holly's former MAFS co-stars raced to congratulate the pair. Polly Sellman wrote: "Oh Hol, so happy for you my girl."

He allegedly cheated on his partner with Holly - and she found out days before giving birth to his third child. Holly is said to have been aware of Aaron's partner's pregnancy, but decided to go Instagram official with him in PDA-filled snaps just three days after the birth. A source told The Sun at the time: '[Holly and Aaron] had been talking for a few weeks and finally met up last weekend. 'He was already in a relationship with a different girl who was heavily pregnant and had the baby on Thursday. They met the day after - Holly fully knows about this. She portrayed herself as a girl's girl on the show. 'Aaron was at the birth and then drove four and a half hours to Holly's house [in Huddersfield]. The baby's mum put the photo of the baby on Facebook on Friday and then Holly posted a photo with Aaron on Sunday.' The couple allegedly met through TikTok earlier this year, where Aaron does content creation work under the username bigazz1. 8 8 Things are said to have moved quickly, according to a source who told The Sun that Aaron had already met Holly's kids. The source continued: 'They started chatting in February - they met through TikTok. 'He has a platform on there - it's where he makes his money. 'Recently he's been posting content about going to Morocco, before that he was trolling people online. 'He also classes himself as a bit of a rapper - but he should just stick to the day job.' Aaron is a father-of-three, with a daughter and a son from two previous relationships - as well as his latest welcome addition. Holly previously failed to find her happy ever after with E4 groom Alex Henry, 28, and split during the MAFS experiment. 8 8 8
