What’s the last thing you want on your wedding day? For your ex to show up, right? Well, this groom went through that horror scenario… Because she was the wedding singer!

A Reddit Post shared in the popular Am I the a**hole Thread has gone viral after the author revealed how he confronted a woman from his past on his big day! He explained:

“Got married yesterday. When we arrived at the venue, everything was already prepared. It wasn’t until we were called for our first dance that I realized that the singer in the band was my ex-girlfriend from high school. We haven’t spoken in over 15 years.”

Oops!

The confused groom said he had no idea she would be performing because his wife was “in charge” of the music. They never discussed who she booked (not that he necessarily knew the name of the band anyway, right?) One important detail? The wife wouldn’t have known either, since the couple never discussed exes in detail! Hmm. The band apparently had a great portfolio and was within budget, why wouldn’t the bride choose them, right?

So what happened after this revelation was made?

The groom told his wife that he felt “uncomfortable” and “weird” about his ex performing at their wedding. Hmm. His wife, however, asked him not to “make a big deal out of it because the band did a great job.” Okay, right? Maybe a little awkward, but at the same time, she was an ex from 15 YEARS AGO! In high school! That couldn’t bother him that much, could it? WRONG.

Eventually he turned to his ex, who said she only realized where she was performing when she saw some mutual friends there. He noticed she kept it very “professional” – but he couldn’t do the same. Against his wife’s wishes, he became a loner:

“I told (my ex) to be ready and leave in the next 30 minutes. She looked shocked and so did her band members. I assured them it wasn’t because of the show. One of the band members said even though they were asked to leave early, they wouldn’t get a refund because they were already there and changed their minds on the day itself. I told them I’m not going to ask for a refund.”

He continued:

“I told my wife the band was leaving and she was furious. She kept asking me why it was such a big deal over an ex and if I still had feelings for her. I said no, that’s absurd, but I felt uncomfortable because I was being reminded of my past relationship at the worst possible time.”

Phew! We can certainly understand what his wife meant… Especially since he made the decision against her will! We mean… They’ve been together for so long, his reaction doesn’t really fit. Or does it?? We’d be suspicious too!

We mean, is there something he’s hiding? Was the breakup bad? Did he mourn her for years? Was he a huge asshole to her and didn’t want her to tell his new wife?

Ultimately, they were able to find a new DJ pretty quickly and the wedding went ahead, but the OP said his bride “didn’t enjoy it at all.” And afterward, she “went straight to bed at the hotel” because his feelings were so “fragile” and it all turned out to be a “waste of money.”

Oh my goodness.

In the replies, other Reddit users made it clear that they believed He was the asshole in this situation:

“I wouldn’t marry someone as fragile as you. YTA, and you ruined your wife’s wedding day. You were pretty selfish and only thought about yourself. Trust me, you’ll be hearing about this for years to come (and you should). My condolences to your poor wife.”

“To an ex from 15 years ago!!! So WTF, OP!! You are the best and I hope you find a way to make it up to your new wife.”

“It’s a shame you ruined your own wedding over nothing.”

“You ruined your new wife’s evening because of a high school ex. You ruined the band’s performance and unilaterally decided that your brand new wife should settle for a lesser musical alternative because you can’t handle a non-topic. You wasted your wife’s time and money.”

“YTA, it’s been 15 years. You made a decision unilaterally without consulting YOUR PARTNER. AT YOUR WEDDING, which it sounds like you weren’t that involved in the planning. Now start groping.”

Yeah, sorry buddy… Maybe you should have just stuck it out! What do you think, Perezcious readers?? Do YOU ​​agree he’s the asshole??
