Woman Sold Ex-Fiancé's Family Heirloom to Pay Off a Loan for the Canceled Wedding, as He Didn't Want to Pay His Half
After she called off the wedding because he cheated on her, he refused to reimburse her for their canceled wedding. As a result, she had to sell his family's heirloom to cover the wedding debts on her own.
When a romantic relationship becomes stable enough and partners are certain they have found a lifetime partner, it's time for a wedding.
It's a beautiful ceremony that symbolizes their mutual love and the beginning of their new life together. Everyone loves weddings as reminders of true love and unconditional support.
So when it comes to your own wedding, you can't play it cool. There is so much work to do, and many plans must be made for the important day.
Although wedding traditions vary from country to country and culture to culture, one thing is common: a celebration! You'll need to celebrate with your friends and family.
This usually requires a wedding venue, food, drinks, a wedding dress, rings, cakes, and a bridal bouquet. Planning a wedding is hard work, and it can be very stressful, yet every bride manages to organize every detail of the big day.
Unfortunately, some weddings are called off, rendering all plans and preparations worthless. Nonetheless, if they have already booked everything for the wedding, that isn't going to change, as most wedding catering is non-refundable, leaving their money trapped as well.
With broken dreams and hearts, ex-partners often end up with debts they incurred to pay for the wedding. If these debts become a burden for one partner, should they agree to repay them together despite everything?
After all, they planned the wedding together, so it seems reasonable to repay the debt together, right? This dilemma is troubling a Reddit user, and she wanted to hear others' opinions.
