A bride got her own back on her cheating fiancé in the most perfect way.
The couple been in a relationship for several years and, what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life turned extremely sour when she received a devastating text the night before their nuptials.
Casey, who used a pseudonym for both and her fiancé Alex, was with her bridesmaids enjoying a drink when a series of screenshotted messages where sent to her phone from an unknown number.

Alongside the grabs, the unidentified person wrote: "I wouldn’t marry him. Will you?"
The messages were very incriminating for Alex, who had evidently been having an affair with another woman in the months running up to his wedding to Casey.
"This weekend. You and I. It is on, hot stuff. Bring your A game," one racy message read.
"Your body is f**king incredible. And s**t do you know how to use it. I wish my GF had half the skills you do," read another.
A third text went on: "I miss you so much. I can’t stop thinking about L, S, F’ing you. I’ve never had this kind of connection before."
"I burst into shamed and broken tears," Casey wrote in an essay for Body+Soul. "My girls were threatening all manner of violence against him. They insisted I call him immediately and call the wedding off."
She continued to write: "But I loved Alex. I wanted to marry Alex tomorrow. I was too shocked and sad to be angry. I didn’t call him.
"Eventually, we tried to go to bed. I didn’t sleep a wink and when dawn finally broke I awoke the girls and told them my decision - I was going to go ahead with the wedding as expected, and ‘out’ him in front of our friends and family."
As a way of 'outing' her then-husband-to-be, Casey proceeded to read out the text messages to all their wedding guests instead of her vows.
"It seems Alex is not who I thought he was," said the jilted bride. "I love all of you and as horrible as this is I’m glad you all are here.
"There will not be a wedding reception today, but instead, there will be a celebration of honesty, finding true love and following your heart even when it hurts."
Color left the groom's face as his private messages were read out loud, and he eventually 'stalked out of the church with his best man trailing behind him'.
Casey concluded the essay: "It was certainly not the wedding day I had planned but to our credit, it was one hell of a party."
I'm sure many, many tequila shots were consumed that night.
