My Wedding Planner Said I Canceled My Own Wedding but I Didn’t – The Truth Left Me Speechless
Chelsea is all set to marry Rasmus, the man of her dreams. But when the wedding day arrives and no guests show up, Chelsea has to figure out who canceled her wedding and whether her groom is right for her or not.

I’ve always wanted that ‘Happily Ever After’ kind of romantic life. So, when I met Rasmus, I thought I had finally gotten it. But as my wedding day began to unravel, it seemed I had gotten the nightmare version instead.
Rasmus and I met at a bakery. It was a sweet little meet-cute situation — where I was convinced he was the perfect person for me. We exchanged numbers over rye bread.
“I’ll be seeing you around, Chelsea,” he said, holding onto a loaf of artisanal bread.
He called me just as he left the bakery, wanting us to have dinner that night.
Two short years later, we were waking up to our wedding day.
That morning, I showered early, eagerly awaiting my hair and makeup appointments. I remember sitting at the edge of the hotel bed, looking at my dress and holding my breath.
I couldn’t wait to marry Rasmus. I couldn’t wait to begin our lives together.

So, the day went on — my maid of honor, my sister Jess, was with me, and we continued to get ready.
“Where’s Mom?” Jess asked. “Shouldn’t she be getting dressed with us?”
“No, we decided it would be best for her and Dad to meet us at the venue. You know she doesn’t get along with Rasmus.”
Jess shook her head.
“You’d think that Mom would have sorted out her feelings by now.”
It was true, my parents loved me — but they just couldn’t see Rasmus and me together.

“There’s just something off about him,” my father would say. “But we respect your wishes to marry him.”
Closer to the time, Jess called for the hotel car, and we made our way to the wedding venue.
“Where is everyone?” Jess asked, echoing my thoughts.
It was an entire wedding venue with literally not a soul in sight. There was no welcome sign for the guests, no welcome drinks, no décor, no staff, and absolutely no guests.
Not even Rasmus.
“Get Brenda on the phone,” I said, talking about my wedding planner.

I was beginning to panic. I was all dressed and ready to go. It was supposed to be my special day.
“Brenda, where is everyone?” I asked when Jess handed me the phone.
“What do you mean?” Brenda’s calm voice came through the speaker.
“I’m at my wedding venue, and there’s nobody here!” I exclaimed, the panic evident in my voice.
“Chelsea, honey,” Brenda said. “The wedding was canceled. The directive came through your email address just three days ago.”
My heart almost stopped beating.

How could I have canceled my own wedding? I went through my emails, and sure enough, there it was.
Dear Brenda,
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the wedding is off. Please notify all the guests and the vendors.
But it made no sense. It was from my corporate account — an account that my family had access to because we all worked at the family business together.
My mind raced — did Mom and Dad? Could they really…? No, they couldn’t have.
They always said that it was my life and my choices. Even if they didn’t approve of Rasmus, they wouldn’t hurt me like this.
I needed to hear it from them.

But my parents were just as shocked as I was.
“We were on a flight, honey,” my father said. “I had a business meeting, and your mother tagged along with me. We had nothing to do with it. We did get the cancellation from Brenda and just wanted to give you your space.”
“I didn’t see any email,” Jess said. “But you know how bad I am at checking my mail.”
That’s when it hit me — the only other person who would have access to my email accounts, work and personal, was Rasmus.
The same man who was supposed to be waiting for me at the other end of the aisle.
I asked Jess to take me home, ready for answers. I needed to know what was happening and how it all unfolded without my knowledge.

I walked into our little apartment, and there he was. Rasmus, sitting on the couch eating a bowl of cereal. He had no intention of leaving the house because he was in his sweatpants, wearing glasses, and his hair was wavy.
His usual armor of being well-dressed, contacts in, and hair swept into his signature hairstyle was all missing.

“You canceled our wedding?” I asked before he could say anything.
Rasmus didn’t even try to hide it. He had canceled the wedding because, three days ago, he realized that as much as he loved me, he wasn’t ready for marriage.
So, he panicked.
“I didn’t have the courage to tell you,” he said. “I figured that you’d think the wedding was on, and then when the slip-up happened, you would want to investigate it. I thought it would take the heat off me.”
As I stood there, my wedding day in ruins around me, I realized that my parents were right. Rasmus wasn’t the person for me. And as much as it hurt, a part of me was relieved he did it.
So, here I am, looking at my wedding dress and wondering what to do with it.

What would you have done?
Surprise, the rumors regarding Kate Middleton are confirmed to be accurate by Prince Harry’s warning.
It is hardly surprising that Kate Middleton and King Charles are the center of attention for the British public. Well wishes are coming in from all around the world while Kate recovers from the “planned” abdominal surgery and the King is having cancer treatment in London. The public was concerned about how the royal family would be impacted by these health concerns, but the Palace reassured people that Kate was “doing-well” even though they hadn’t disclosed any information about her lengthy hospital stay or surgery.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were among those who extended their best wishes and hoped the Princess and the King a swift recovery.
Although their relationship with the other royals appears to be at an all-time low, their outreach to Kate and Charles may be the first step in resolving their differences.
The members of the Firm have been the target of accusations from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have also criticized the Palace for failing to intervene on Meghan’s behalf when she was in need of support and contemplating suicide. During the controversial Oprah interview, Harry and Meghan launched their first accusations against the royal family, accusing a senior royal of doubting the sking color of Archie, who was still pregnant at the time.
The Sussexes gave numerous interviews after moving to the United States, and Harry wrote his book Spare, in which he disclosed secrets and discussed what went on behind closed doors when he was still a working royal.
There has also been turmoil in Meghan and Kate’s relationship.
Both Kate and Meghan were advised not to go to Balmoral when Queen Elizabeth’s health began to deteriorate, but the actual reason was that they didn’t want Meghan there and Kate was just told to stay behind to make things appear more equitable.
“Kate stayed away on purpose, but she really wanted to be there with the Queen in her final moments,” Jobson stated. Kate is completely consumed by that, and her dislike of Meghan has grown.
As per Jobson, “Catherine later admitted to a senior royal that, such was the ill feeling between the two couples, the joint walkabout was one of the hardest things she’d ever had to do.” Kate and William, along with Harry and Meghan, walked beside each other throughout the burial.
The media claims that Harry and Meghan contacted Kate as soon as they heard about her operation from the news.
A source informed the Mirror, “Prince Harry and Meghan have extended support to the King and the Princess of Wales with regards to their health.” “The Duke and Duchess conveyed their concern and well wishes to both parties through various means.”
The source stated, “Meghan has contacted Kate and Charles.” Thus, efforts are being undertaken to make amends.
The insider added that Meghan has been a huge supporter of Harry’s efforts to mend his family’s wrongs. Additionally, Harry “wishes the very best for the royals—Kate included.”
She stated, “It was reported that they sent private messages, which would be the proper course of action.”
She thinks it’s wise for Harry and Meghan to keep their comments about Kate private.
But even though Kate will resume her royal duties around Easter, PR guru Ryan McCormick warns Harry and Meghan might make a grave error if they start talking about the princess in public. According to the Mirror, McCormick advises the Sussexes not talk about Kate Middleton until she has resumed her royal duties.
