She was left "gobsmacked" when one of her bridesmaids got engaged during the trip on the day that would've been her weddingA jilted bride is accusing one of her bridesmaids of being 'insensitive' for announcing their engagement.
On Monday, June 23, the woman penned a Mumsnet post explaining that she found out four months ago her fiancé was cheating with 'numerous women,' and so their wedding that was set to take place in Italy was canceled.
She said some of the bridal party decided to go ahead with going to the European country for the weekend, as they had already paid a 'big expense' for their flights and accommodation.
'My best friend (and bridesmaid) was one of these guests and she contacted me via FaceTime yesterday to tell me her boyfriend proposed on Saturday (which should have been my wedding day) on the beach in Italy 🙈,' the woman wrote.
'I was absolutely gobsmacked and replied, saying I was pleased for her, but I needed time to process the news and ended the call,' she continued. 'I am happy for her, but I do feel it's totally insensitive, and I'm in total shock.'
Struggling to accept her friend's happiness, the jilted bride asked, 'How do I move past this?'

The post garnered hundreds of responses with the majority of commenters arguing that her critique of her friend was unreasonable.
Several people advised her to focus on how 'lucky' she was to have found out that her partner wasn't loyal before tying the knot and told her to put her hurt aside to celebrate her friend.
'It wasn't your wedding day,' one person wrote. 'Her life doesn't stop because you didn't get married. Her boyfriend proposed and she said yes, timing wasn't her choice. Sorry your ex was a d--------, but life goes on.'
'Was she supposed to turn him down because of the date? Or just not tell you?' another chimed in. 'I can understand why you'd be a bit sad about it, but she's not really done anything wrong.'

A third said, 'I can only imagine what a tough day it was for you, sending you a hug. I think you're justified in feeling hurt. But your bridesmaid didn't ask to be proposed to, and I'm sure you'd have been thrilled for her had it been a different place and time. She has been insensitive in breaking the news to you in the way she has."
"I'm sure in her shoes I'd have said 'I'd love to marry you, and my answer is 'yes' but I think we should get officially engaged somewhere else because after all, this should have been best friend's wedding day/location and I don't want to rub her nose in it,' ' the same person continued. 'I wouldn't fall out with her, but I would share your feelings with her sensitively.'
