Warning Signs of Wedding Drama

It was only two days before my best friend was to be married when I first met her fiancé. He was everything she had said he was. He was tall, dark, handsome and very charming, but something seemed off to me about his personality. He seemed too good to be true. The way in which he talked, moved and acting around my friend seemed artificial and scripted. Since I had just met him I thought that I was being overprotective of my friend, but I soon discovered that my first impressions were correct.

At the welcome dinner that night I couldn't help but monitor my friend's fiancé's behavior for clues to what he was hiding. However, he didn't seem to be showing any signs of being anything other than a devoted man. I excused myself to use the ladies' room. As I passed the bar I noticed that he was talking on his cell phone. The way his body was snaked into the corner seemed suspicious so I tried to eavesdrop on his conversation. From what I heard I could piece together that he was making plans to meet another women that night.

I was heartbroken for my friend. At this point I didn't know what to do or how to tell my friend that her fiancé was cheating on her. I though that my best option would be to talk to her when the other people had left and we were driving back to the hotel. On that drive she mentioned that her fiancé was going out with the guys that night and I blurted out that he was lying to her. I explained what I overheard and waited for her reaction. She didn't seem surprised or even upset by the news.

She told me that she knew that he was a cheater when they decided to get married and that she hoped that he would stop once they were married. Being her force of reason throughout her life I told her not to be stupid, and that he would always be a cheater regardless of whether they were just dating or if they were married. I told her that she couldn't marry this guy and that it would ruin her life. With less than 36 hours to the wedding we intercepted his rendezvous with his other woman. After seeing him with another woman my friend finally came to her senses and called off the wedding.
