Bride-to-be dumped an hour before her wedding

Bride-to-be dumped an hour before
her wedding - writes heartfelt letter
Cyndi Maisonneuve, a bride-to-be whose fiancé
dumped her as she stood in her veil an hour
before their wedding has written a letter detailing
her heartbreak.
In her letter, she speaks about how she was
about to marry a man that was her best friend,
who she'd met two years earlier at a baseball
game. She describes them as besotted and said
when he proposed after six months on a beach at
sunrise, it didn't feel too soon. What she wrote
after the cut...
"I was 23 and it felt as if life was coming
together. People would say how good we
were as a match." But somehow
everything went wrong.
She said she was "blindsided" when her fiancée
broke things off as the wedding guests waited on
a beach in Hawaii where the ceremony was due
to take place.
In her letter to the Guardian, Cyndi says:
"He came into the room and said we
needed to talk alone. "He was crying.
"I assumed he was letting the emotion of
the day get to him. "Then he said it. 'I
don't think I can do this.' "I stood there –
with the veil already in my hair. "This man
who was supposed to be the love of my
life was telling me he was calling off the
wedding less than an hour before we were
due on the beach.
"I didn't even ask why. "I told him to leave.
"
"I had to watch from the window as my
sister went to the beach and let everyone
know," she told.
"While I'd been out that morning, he had
taken all his clothes and passport. "He'd
actually left me. "I was heartbroken."
Cyndi had to stay at the holiday resort for a
week, bumping into her ex-fiancée who also
stayed on the island. She describes how she
tried to pack her days with activities to stop her
thinking about things, and to try and tire herself
out so she would fall asleep at night.
The devastated woman ends the letter with: "The
reason he gave for calling it off was that he
didn't want children and I did. He never said why
that became an irresolvable issue only on the
day itself.
