When you make your wedding vows, you pledge to love, cherish and remain faithful to your partner for as long as you both shall live.

However, one groom managed to uphold this vow for a mere 20 minutes after his bride caught him smooching her maid-of-honour during their wedding breakfast. The 31-year-old woman took to Reddit to share how she married her high school sweetheart, Noah, 30, after dating since sophomore (year 10 in the UK) until he popped the question shortly after university. Thrilled to be marrying the man of her dreams, she asked her best friend, Gia, to be her maid-of-honour - and the pair began planning for the big day.

As part of the preparations, she and Gia decided to go dress shopping with her mum and sisters, while Noah went suit shopping with his dad, best man, and his other groomsmen - including Gia's fiancé, Percy. She said: "The dress shopping was going fine until Gia disappeared for an hour. Everyone was looking for her until Percy texted me saying Noah had been missing for a while too."

To her horror, she discovered that Noah and Gia had snuck off to play 'dress up' together while everyone else was searching for them. She added: "She was wearing a wedding dress. My fiancé was also trying suits on with her. Of course, I freaked out. Gia said she just wanted to try dresses on now so that she could save time [ahead of her wedding next year] and wanted my fiancé to pose as her husband."

As the wedding day approached, she noticed her fiancé's peculiar behaviour; he changed his phone password, frequently arrived home late and was 'too busy' to be with her. Gia, too, had lesser time for hangouts. She expressed: "The day finally rolled around and all my bridesmaids looked stunning. I felt the best I ever did and I hate to say it but my maid-of-honour looked stunning as well.

"The ceremony finally starts and I walk down the aisle but the groom is not there nor is my maid-of-honour. I panicked, everyone started looking then the maid-of-honour ran down the aisle all flustered, and waved her hand in apologies. My fiancé came five minutes later and we said our vows, and got married. The party was fine until the reception."

There was further trouble post-cake cutting when her now husband and maid-of-honour vanished again. "As we were scrambling to find them my bridesmaid tells me that the maid-of-honour and my husband were making out outside, and had been going out all night to make out," she recounted.

Demanding proof, she saw the footage showing them in a lip lock and she seethed with rage. During the first dance, when her husband and the maid-of-honour were tardy yet again, she let her bitterness show, intentionally stepping on his feet. They later merged into the crowd and were lost to view.

"Then, once I knew they were gone I asked for the singer's microphone, and I announced to everyone what my maid-of-honour and husband were doing. It may have been extreme, but I was very furious. Of course, everyone was flabbergasted I told them not to say anything unless you catch them or after I left him."

In a twist of fate, she confronted her husband and best friend then confided in her friend's partner, Percy, about their betrayal. She didn't waste time; she filed for divorce just hours after the wedding and now it seems she's having the last laugh.

Now romantically involved with Percy, she shared how the deception brought them closer. Their new relationship has people expressing their support! One person commented on her update: "There is no moving past this. You can't move forward if you are looking backward. Living well is the best revenge." Another chimed in with advice: "Best thing to do. Do not forgive her."
