Wedding Turns into Scandal When Bridesmaid Turns Out To Be Pregnant by Groom – Story of the Day

After waiting for years to marry the love of her life, a woman finally walks down the aisle on her big day, unaware that one of her bridesmaids would ruin it by revealing a shocking truth. Will the bride believe her best friend's claims?

"George and I have something to tell you, Mom," Julia confessed while sitting at the dinner table with her boyfriend and mother.

"What is it, honey?" Julia's mother, Sylvia, looked at her with wide eyes.

"We're expecting, Mom," Julia's hands went to her mouth as she looked at George before her gaze shifted to her mother.

"What? Really?" Sylvia quickly stood up and hugged her daughter. "I can't believe it! My baby's all grown up."

"Mom… I'll always be your baby no matter how old I get," Julia gently squeezed her mother's arms wrapped around her shoulders.

"But there's also something else we want to share, Sylvia," George interrupted the mother-daughter duo.

"What's that?" Sylvia asked as she loosened her grip while hugging Julia.

"Do you want me to tell her?" George asked his girlfriend.

"No, I'll tell her everything," Julia smiled as she stood up and made her mother sit on the chair. "George and I have planned to get married next month. We're finally tying the knot, Mom!"

"Oh my!!" Sylvia felt emotional after hearing about her daughter's wedding. "I wish you all the best, my children! May God always be with you."

"Thank you, Mom," Julia hugged her mother.

Julia and George were high school sweethearts and had been dating for over a decade. Julia always wanted to tie the knot, but George delayed it, saying he wanted to find a high-paying job first.

Julia saw him slide his phone out of his pocket and decline the calls, but she didn't ask him who it was.

Learning about their pregnancy made George rethink his decision. He didn't want Julia to abort her pregnancy or raise their child alone. He wanted them to raise their baby together and thought getting married was the best way to do that.

Later that night, Julia met her best friends to tell them about her decision. She wanted her girls to be prepared for the big day and handle the bridesmaid duties.

"I never thought George would agree to tie the knot so soon!" Julia's friend, Stephanie, said. "I thought he would take another year or so."

"I know!!" Julia replied, looking at her friend with wide eyes. "I don't know what made him agree to it. But I'm glad everything worked out as planned. To be honest, I'm grateful for everything."

"We feel so glad to see you happy," another one of Julia's friends said. "Don't worry. We'll take care of the bridesmaids' duties. We're all here for you!"

"I love you girls!" Julia said as she spread her arms to hug all three of her friends. "I'm so grateful to have you all in my life."

At that point, the bride-to-be had no idea that one of her friends was hiding something from her. It wasn't until her big day that Julia realized she had ignored signs hinting toward something fishy.

The next day, Julia went to the mall with George to buy herself the things she needed for her wedding. While they went from one shop to another, George's phone kept ringing after short intervals.

Julia saw him slide his phone out of his pocket and decline the calls, but she didn't ask him who it was. George would stand outside the shops and use his phone while Julia would go inside and buy what she needed.

However, Julia broke her silence at the end of the day and asked her boyfriend about the calls and messages. She wanted to ensure that everything was fine in his life.

"I just want to make sure it's nothing serious," she told him.

"Oh, no," George replied, smiling at her. "Don't worry, baby. Everything's fine. It was my boss. He told me I couldn't take more than a week off for my wedding. I wanted to take more days off to spend time with you."

"Oh," Julia heaved a sigh of relief. "It's okay, George. You shouldn't ask him for more days. I don't want you to risk your job for me."

"I was just trying to negotiate," George said.

Soon, the couple's big day arrived. Julia wore a beautiful white dress that complemented her curves and highlighted her tiny baby bump. She wanted all her guests to know about the newest member of her family.

She walked down the aisle as the guests looked at her in awe and wished her all the best. She could see all her bridesmaids standing near the altar while George stood beside the priest, waiting to hold her hand.

As Julia neared the altar, she saw her bridesmaid, Stephanie, look at her angrily. Feeling confused, Julia smiled at her, but Stephanie kept staring. "What happened to her?" Julia wondered.

Upon reaching the altar, George held Julia's hand and helped her climb the steps. Before the priest could begin with the vows, Julia expressed her wish to make an announcement.

"Thank you so much for joining us on this special occasion," she said while facing the guests.

"I have an announcement to make."

Feeling confused, George looked at Julia with raised eyebrows before she held his hand. "Don't worry, baby. It's about us. I wanted everyone to know I am carrying your baby!"

As everyone gasped in surprise, saying heartfelt prayers for the couple, a feminine voice grabbed everyone's attention. "Me too!" Stephanie intervened.

"What?" Julia asked in shock.

"I'm pregnant and it's yours!" Stephanie looked at George as she walked towards him. "Why don't you tell everyone about it?"

"What is she saying, George?" Julia held her boyfriend's hand, demanding an answer from him.

George's silence made Julia believe something was not right. She couldn't convince herself to believe what her best friend said, but everything that happened during the past few months made her think Stephanie was right.

"Those phone calls and messages were not from your boss, right?" Julia asked as tears trickled down her cheeks. "Answer me! Say something!"

"Stephanie's right," George replied, his gaze locked on the ground.

"How could you?" Julia screamed while Sylvia pulled her away from George. "I didn't expect you to cheat on me with my best friend! How could you stoop so low? That's ridiculous!"

As the guests murmured among themselves, Julia's mother told everyone to go home because her daughter didn't want to marry George anymore. Julia's big day has suddenly turned into a nightmare.

It turned out that George had slept with Stephanie multiple times behind Julia's back, but he had no idea she would end up conceiving his child. He learned about her pregnancy a month before the wedding, and tried to convince Stephanie to abort it.

Stephanie disagreed because she felt jealous of Julia. She couldn't accept that George chose Julia over her, so she ruined their wedding by confessing about her pregnancy.

After refusing to marry George, Julia spent the next few months looking after herself. Meanwhile, George apologized to her and begged her to marry him, but she refused. She was sure there was no space for cheaters in her life.

Soon, Julia gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. With her mother's help, she cared for her daughter and raised her into a beautiful human being. Sacrificing her needs to fulfill her daughter's wishes, Julia spent the rest of her life providing her little one with the best of everything.

What can we learn from this story?

• Never stop looking for answers. Julia felt it was unusual that George had suddenly agreed to marry her. Had she tried to find out why, she would have learned he was marrying her to cover his affair.
• Not all families are the same. Julia raised her daughter without a partner, which is uncommon. Sometimes, living in a family that doesn't fit societal norms is okay. Such families should be treated with respect and dignity.
