Gina saved for years to have her perfect wedding, but when she arrived early, she found another bride at her altar—her own sister! Her sister took her venue and tried to steal her special moment. But Gina wasn’t going to let that happen. What came next was a wild showdown of bold moves, karma, and the ultimate wedding revenge.
On the morning of my wedding, I woke up feeling excited and full of love.
Leo and I had spent years saving for this day—working extra hours, staying up late, and finding ways to cut costs. Every penny went into making it perfect.
“Gina, just think about all the money we’re saving by not ordering takeout,” Leo joked.
“That’s only because we’re eating healthy,” I laughed.
And now, after all that hard work and sacrifice, the big day had finally arrived.
I got to the venue an hour early, hoping for a peaceful moment before the ceremony. I wanted to walk down the aisle alone and take it all in.
I just wanted to relax, do my makeup, sip some champagne, and enjoy my fairytale.
But instead, I saw a bride standing at my altar. Her back was to me, and she was fixing her veil.
She wasn’t just any bride—she was my sister, Jessica.
She stood there in a gorgeous white wedding dress, watching the staff finish setting up. Some guests had already started to arrive.
Leo wanted our close family to come early for a photo shoot.
“We’re only getting married once, Gina,” he said. “Let’s make it special. My students are coming to take our pictures—it’ll be amazing.”
“Is that your idea of extra credit?” I joked as he looked through his laptop.
“It’s more like me letting them give us a wedding gift.”
That’s one of the things I loved about Leo. He had spent years as a wildlife photographer, traveling to the best game parks. But after a safari accident a few years ago, he decided to stay local and teach at a college instead
His love for capturing special moments is what drew me to him.
Music started playing somewhere, snapping me back to my nightmare.
Jessica—the bride.
My chest tightened, and my ears buzzed.
And then, she turned to me and gave me a smug smile.
“Oh!” She clapped her hands together. “You’re early! I was hoping to have everything ready before you arrived. Well… there goes the surprise.”
I couldn’t even wrap my head around what she was saying.
“Surprise?” I repeated, my voice empty.
Jessica let out a dramatic sigh, like I was the problem here. Like I was the one ruining something special. Like I was the one messing up her big moment.
“Gina, come on,” she said. “Why let a perfect setup go to waste? Two weddings in one—genius, right? And you know Ben has been pressuring me to get married.”
My stomach sank.
“You… so you didn’t just randomly show up in a wedding dress? You actually planned to get married at my wedding? Are you crazy?”
She tilted her head and pouted.
“Mom said we don’t use the word ‘insane,’ Gina,” she sighed, rolling her eyes. “Be nice. And seriously, don’t be so selfish!”
Selfish?
Me? At my own wedding? The one time I was supposed to be in charge and have everything my way?
That word sparked something inside me—something fierce, something dangerous.
Jessica had spent her whole life taking from me—borrowing my clothes and never giving them back, stealing my ideas and claiming them as hers. She even spread lies to get our parents on her side.
But this?
This was a whole new level of pathetic. A whole new level of cruel.
I glanced around. My wedding planner, Bella, was staring at Jessica like she was about to explode. My guests, the unlucky ones who arrived early, were whispering in shock.
Even Jessica’s fiancé, Ben, looked uneasy.
“Jess, you told me Gina was okay with this,” he sighed. “I should have known better.”
Everything suddenly became clear.
I smiled.
Fine. If Jessica wanted a wedding, she was going to get one.
“Bella, did you know about this?” I asked.
“No, not at all, Gina!” she said quickly. “I was just getting the bridal suite ready for you. Your hair and makeup team are setting up right now.”
I nodded.
“Thanks,” I said with a smile. “Now, let’s sort out this double wedding. Please schedule my sister’s ceremony before mine. But can you grab your tablet?”
“Of course,” she replied, quickly pulling it out and unlocking it.
“Make sure to add the harpist’s final fee to our invoice. And about the other matter—Jessica should be billed for her part first. I suggest she pays before she walks down the aisle.”
Bella blinked, then broke into a big grin.
Jessica’s smirk started to fade.
I crossed my arms.
“You added your own ceremony, Jessica. If you had actually planned a wedding, you’d know what that involves. The officiant needs extra time, the musicians do too. And let’s not forget Leo’s photography students—you’ll have to pay them, of course. As for the food… I’m not splitting that with you. Leo and I only paid for our guests.”
Bella, always the professional, turned to Jessica.
“Gina’s right,” she said. “But she left out a few things. We paid per guest, so your guests aren’t covered. The venue charges per seat—literally. So, for your ceremony, we’ll need extra seating, and it’s not cheap. There are a few more costs we can go over. Would you like to sit down?”
“Wait… what?!” Jessica exclaimed.
Bella remained calm and professional.
“You added a separate ceremony, Jessica. That fee needs to be paid before we can move forward.”
Jessica let out a nervous laugh.
“No, no, no! This is all one event! There aren’t any extra fees or whatever you’re talking about, Bella. Come on, Gina. Tell her!”
I shrugged.
“Not according to the contract, Jessica. Your wedding wasn’t part of the original plan. Weddings cost money. If you want one, you have to pay.”
