    My now husband Lucas (26) and I (F,25) were getting married. We decided to tie the knot as we were having a little girl together and are madly in love. So leading up to the wedding day Lucas told me that his best man (Jacob) wanted to

    down the engagement for doing something like that. If he wanted a nice venue, he should have paid for a nice dinner or something, NOT use a celebration you just spend thousands of dollars on to make it about him. I would be requesting the cost of their meals back.

    The fact that your new husband went behind your back is also pretty terrible. Your friends who are corsing out on social can be easily removed from your life. Your husband, though. I think
