Shock as bride shares why groom vanished on their wedding day
A radio studio erupted in shock when a woman revealed what happened after her husband vanished from their wedding reception. The bride called in to Nova's evening show Ben, Liam & Belle to share that she got married, and the duo had a 'beautiful' wedding. But, the marriage didn't even last 24 hours. After the ceremony, and the photos, the couple went to the reception. But, one key person didn't make it. 'The reception — he was gone,' she told the hosts. 'Absolutely disappeared and I did not hear anything from him for months.' The woman, only known as Kylie, said the man was the love of her life. As a result of his vanishing act, she was forced to cancel their honeymoon. Kylie said she was embarrassed when asked just where her groom had gotten to, and she said she went into the room while friends and family ate the food. She said she was under the impression that her groom was seeing somebody else for the duration of their six-year relationship. 'It's mind-blowing,' host Liam Stapleton said. When asked what the man was now doing, she said he was now dating her cousin. The hosts and producers lost it. 'Kylie,' Liam screamed. Kylie said the man — and her cousin — are no longer in her life. But, it did leave a sour taste in her mouth when it came to weddings, with the woman saying she likely would never walk down the aisle ever again. She said she laughs about it now, and her kids bring it up all the time. Many social media users expressed their shock at what Kylie had been through. 'That's terrible. I'm a true believer in the saying 'Once a cheater, always a cheater',' one person said. Another said: 'Just remember 'how she got him, is how she will lose him!' Her cousin is the fool in all of this, when he dumps her, family may not be there!'

Melbourne woman's marriage lasts just ONE hour after new husband's cruel first act
An Australian woman has shocked radio listeners with her story of a wedding that ended in heartbreak - before the reception was even over. Calling in to Nova's Late Drive with Ben, Liam & Belle, Kylie from Melbourne recounted the surreal moment her groom vanished just hours after they tied the knot, never to be heard from again - until she discovered he had been cheating on her with her own cousin. 'I had a really short marriage. It wasn't even 24 hours,' Kylie revealed. 'We got married and had a beautiful wedding. And he was gone for the reception.' Kylie explained that the couple had been together for six years and, from the outside, looked like they were headed for a happy future. The ceremony was picturesque, the photos perfect, and guests were ready to celebrate. But as soon as the vows were exchanged and the camera shutters stopped clicking, her new husband simply disappeared. 'We had the ceremony, did the photos - he was beautiful during the photoshoot, he was the love of my life,' she said. 'And then he just disappeared. I didn't hear from him for months.' Despite his absence, the wedding reception went ahead, with guests unaware of what had happened. Kylie said she kept up appearances as best she could. 'Everyone was fine to stay and party the whole night - but I went back to my room by myself,' she said. 'He didn't want to be with me. He was seeing somebody else [the whole time], but he let us get married.' The situation only got more painful in the days that followed, especially when relatives began calling to ask how the honeymoon was going or to congratulate the newlyweds. 'It was really hard, especially talking to family members [who called to ask about the new husband the next day],' Kylie said. 'But we laugh about it now.' In an unbelievable twist, Kylie later found out who the 'other woman' was - her own cousin. 'He's with my cousin now - he was cheating on me with her,' she revealed. 'I don't see him or my cousin. That would be really awkward.' Despite the betrayal, Kylie has managed to find some humour in the ordeal, and says her family hasn't let her live it down. 'My kids think it's hilarious - it's brought up all the time,' she said with a laugh. When asked if she ever remarried, Kylie was quick to say 'no'. Listeners were floored by the call, flooding the station's socials with shocked reactions. And while her marriage may have been shorter than the average workday, Kylie's story has certainly made a lasting impression.

Mom Wants Adult Cousin to Change Her Name So She Can Use It for Her Baby
An expectant mom, named Lila, asked her cousin to 'give up' her name so that her baby could use it Lila claims the special name is tied to a 'family prophecy' The cousin was stunned by the bold request and took to Reddit to share the storyA woman says her cousin wants to name her child after her because the special moniker is tied to a "family prophecy." In a Reddit post, the 23-year-old explained that her cousin Lila, 25, is "very into family lore, spiritual omens, and old prophecies that have been passed down through our great-grandmother's side." "Most of the time, I just go along with it because it's harmless—stuff like 'never plant rosemary on a full moon' or 'our bloodline has a connection to the ocean.' Weird, but whatever," she began. "Well, now she's pregnant, and things have gotten intense." "Last week, she announced that she wants to name her daughter after me," she continued. "I was flattered at first and asked why she chose my name. That's when she got all serious and said, 'Because you're the chosen one.' " The woman was stunned and replied, "Uhh… excuse me?" Her cousin explained that, "according to a family prophecy, a girl born into our bloodline with my name would have a great spiritual awakening, unlock ancient family powers, and become the protector of our lineage." "I laughed, thinking she was joking," the user continued. "She wasn't." Instead, the cousin said her baby "was 'meant' to be the true heir to the prophecy, and by giving her my name, she could 'absorb my connection' to whatever mystical forces our great-grandmother supposedly tapped into." Lila then asked the Reddit user to "release the name" to her child.

"I asked what that meant, and she said that for the magic to work, I needed to stop using my name and 'let it fully belong' to her daughter," she wrote. "I was like, 'Lila… you want me to give up my own name??' " "She nodded and said I could pick a new one—something neutral and mundane, so I wouldn't 'compete for the energy.' " Perhaps unsurprisingly, the woman told her cousin no, and the cousin, in return, became upset. Now, some family members are arguing that the woman "should at least consider" giving up her name. "I honestly don't care if the kid gets magical powers or not—I'm not renaming myself just so her baby can have full access to the family spirits or whatever," the woman added. Reddit users are firmly on the side of the original poster, arguing she should not give up her name for the cousin's child. "Tell her you are indeed the Chosen One, and if she tries to steal your power you will curse her and all her descendants," joked one commenter. Read the original article on People

Man on trial for alleged rape of younger cousin when he was a teen
SINGAPORE: A 22-year-old man is on trial for allegedly raping his younger cousin when he was a teenager. The accused was 12 to 15, and his female cousin was eight to 11 at the time of the alleged sexual offences between 2016 and 2018. He faces two counts of raping a minor and one count of sexually assaulting a minor. Since the trial opened on May 5, the alleged victim has been giving evidence in a closed court. She completed her testimony on Thursday (May 15). When the girl was younger, there was an arrangement for her to go to her aunt's house, where the accused lived, so that her aunt could take care of her while her parents were at work. She would go to the house with her siblings and her maid, and her parents would fetch them home in the evening. According to the prosecution, the girl's cousin first sexually assaulted her in the master bedroom of the landed house in 2013, when she was six years old and he was 10. Deputy Public Prosecutors Daphne Lim and Benedict Chan argue that he sexually assaulted her about once a week during this period, and told her not to tell anyone. According to them, in 2016 or 2017, the girl told her maid that her cousin had touched her. The maid advised her to tell her aunt – the accused's mother – and the girl did. This purportedly led to a family meeting at which the accused denied touching his cousin. The arrangement for the girl and her siblings to stay at her aunt's house continued. The prosecution's case is that after this, the accused continued to sexually assault his cousin more frequently. The alleged sexual acts in this period form the subject of his three charges. The prosecutors argue that in 2017 or early 2018, the girl told another maid that her cousin had touched her, and she was again advised to talk to her aunt about it. This purportedly led to a second family meeting where it was decided that the girl and her siblings would no longer stay at her aunt's house during the day. The alleged sexual assaults then ceased, according to prosecutors. The girl made a police report in January 2021 stating that she was raped between 2013 and 2018. Her cousin was arrested the next day. After the girl's testimony, 14 witnesses, including her parents, maid and a friend, are expected to testify for the prosecution. Apart from medical and psychiatric evidence, the prosecution will provide text messages the girl is said to have sent to her friend in 2020 that were about the alleged rape. The accused is represented by a team of lawyers from Drew & Napier. The punishment for raping or sexually assaulting a minor under 14 is between eight and 20 years in jail and at least 12 strokes of the cane.
