Announcing our engagement should’ve been a joyful moment—but things took an unexpected turn when my fiancé’s brother, Adam, suddenly planned his wedding just two weeks later.
I’m Natasha. Life with Emmet has been full of love and laughter. We’ve been together for three years, and after my father passed away, he left me a wedding fund—a final gesture of love that brought me peace.
Three weeks ago, Emmet and I shared our engagement with his family. Adam and his fiancée, Nancy, seemed excited… until they announced they were getting married in just two weeks. Odd timing—especially since they’d recently asked me for a loan.
Their wedding dinner was held at a luxurious restaurant, overflowing with champagne and gourmet food. Then came the shocker—Nancy demanded that I cover the entire bill, claiming my inheritance meant I could afford it.
I refused. I told them if they wanted a lavish event, they should budget for it or be upfront beforehand. The room went silent. Guests looked around awkwardly. Some even refused to cover their own meals. It was chaos—but I stood firm.
Emmet stood by me, proud I didn’t cave. Months later, our garden wedding was everything we dreamed of—simple, heartfelt, surrounded by people who truly cared.
Surprisingly, Nancy later apologized. And under the stars, hand in hand with Emmet, I knew we were ready for anything—stronger, wiser, and deeply united.
