The newlywed bride in this twisted ordeal wrote in to Dear Prudence on slate.com explaining how their best man completely stole their moment. That best man, referred to only as John, was also the officiant.
The bride explains that with the mic in hand during the vows, he proposes to his own girlfriend, Jane, whom he also announces is pregnant.
She said everyone cheers, people cry and the videographer records the moment.
But then she asks: "Do you think John's behavior warrants the end of a long-term friendship, or are we angry over nothing?"
Prudence's answer? "I think it merits a fight! In between 'getting over it' and 'never speaking to John again' is the happy medium of 'having a difficult conversation with a longtime friend who did something selfish and self-absorbed on your wedding day.'"
