There have been some pretty dramatic wedding disasters over the years, some more shocking than others.
Whether that is a bride reading out her fiancé's cheating texts instead of her vows or having to make your own wedding cake the night before the big day - which I think we can all agree is pretty dramatic, right?
Well, this particular wedding disaster truly sounds like something straight out of a British soap, but I promise you it did actually happen in real life.

Erica Moser, 23, a US influencer, dated 70-year-old millionaire, Rick Sykes, for a year and a half, and was set to marry the man over three times her age.
However, on the day the pair were set to tie the knot and commit themselves to each other for the rest of their lives, Moser decided to pull the plug.
For those unaware of their TV presence, Moser and Sykes appeared in the 2021 series two of Marrying Millions, a popular TV series that matches up a wealthy individual with someone who is less affluent.

"We just connected through Instagram. Neither one of us really knows how," Moser recalled.
"We were just kind of following each other for a year or so and just seeing each other's photos and liking whatever, and we never really talked.
"But then he just randomly sent me a couple of messages and we started talking and then we met. And then the rest is history."
