CEBU CITY – A jilted young bride is seeking damages against her would-be groom who left her standing at the altar on their wedding day to run off with another woman.

Like a scene from a telenovela, the bride was left in tears after the groom simply walked away. The groom allegedly walked out of his wedding at the Our Lady of Sacred Heart Parish Church here last Dec. 22, leaving his bride weeping in front of many witnesses.

The bride filed a damage suit seeking a total of P549,630.71 in actual and moral damages on top of the P2,500 appearance fee of the lawyer for every hearing. In a five-page complaint filed before the Cebu Regional Trial Court, she claimed to have suffered irreparable damage after her fiance broke off their promise to exchange marital vows.

The bride, belonging to rich influential family here, even recalled her excitement while walking down the aisle, looking forward to exchanging “I do’s” with the man who had been her sweetheart for more than a year.

The wedding ceremony reportedly did not start on time because the groom arrived 10 minutes late for the 3:30 p.m. scheduled wedding. The groom even made an effort to delay the ceremony by tinkering with his cellular phone while the priest was presiding over the wedding rites. The bride, for her part, did not seem to mind at all, since she was not expecting her groom to walk out on her.

But she noticed her husband-to-be was teary-eyed when he arrived late at the church. As soon as the priest reached the point for the exchange of marital vows and asked the couple to exchange their “I do’s,” the groom, who was supposed to answer first, was not able to do so after a woman appeared in the aisle and shouted for the wedding to stop.

“Upon hearing the voice of the lady at the back, defendant was not able to answer ‘I do’ and without any hesitation or saying anything, he (the groom) turned his back and walked very fast towards the lady. They then hugged each other and went outside the church together,” the bride stated in her complaint.

The visitors, including the parents of the groom and the bride, were left stunned. Henry Espinosa, head of the security of the Palace of Justice here, witnessed the incident. He said the priest even used a microphone at full volume to repeatedly call for the groom to come back.

The groom left the church with the other woman on board a taxicab. Twenty minutes after, the jilted bride proceeded to the prepared wedding banquet at the Royal Concourse with their visitors and the supposed wedding sponsors.

The bride claimed she had not slept well after the incident, which she said left her trembling with anger over her besmirched reputation.

The would-be couple were classmates at Southwestern University where they first met in 1998, according to the bride, but they had not seen each other since 2000. In December 2005, they saw each other again at the Saint Vincent Church in Barangay Sambag II.

The courtship then began until they became sweethearts in February 2006. –

this is why none of my wife's exes were invited (or knew about) our wedding ceremony :hihihi:

seriously, if the guy doesnt want to marry the girl, i am pretty sure there are less dramatic ways of getting out of the situation. unless he has deep seated hatred for his "fiance" i dont see any reason to make her lose face in front of freinds and relatives.

and my advice would be.....bawas bawasan ang kakapnood ng pelikula lao na yung mga dramang pinoy hehehe

Maybe the groom's long lost first love suddenly found out about the wedding and then texted/called the groom the day of the wedding. Making the groom think twice about the wedding that's why he was late for the ceremony. He decided to proceed to the church and continue the marriage since he thought it was the right and proper thing to do. But alas, the long lost love of his appeared in the church, and seeing her once again, made the groom realize that she is the love of his life after all. So they just went out of the church, rode a taxi to wherever, to live happily every after ...... or not, nagdemanda si bride e :bwahaha:

baka mas magaling performance nung isang girl...

unless it's a shotgun wedding, the guy's a loser. dapat yun papunta pa lang sa simbahan or the night before, inopen up na nya kung may uncertainty.

the bride should rejoice bec. obviously her fiance is not man enough to accept his convictions. kung dyan pa lang takbo na sya, what more sa buhay with the 2 of them together.

my take on this, malas ng babae sumigaw sa simbahan. i guess they deserve each other.

hala lagut

I have read some legal cases about moral injury but this is ridiculous

malamang puro wedding jokes among the guests. and mas ubos ang pagkain kasi parang hindi legit ang reception at bawi gifts

[ts1n1ta]

Aww.. Kawawa naman yung bride. She has every right to sue him! It was supposed to be her day, daggemit. If the groom never really intended to marry her sana he told her before the ceremony started... ugh so much drama!

[usokpower]

We wont be able to know what kind of problems that may have hounded over the groom. But you cannot simply walk away from something like that. Ayan na demanda pa siya tuloy "breach of promise to marry".

Morale of the story, think a million times before making any promises of marriage.

[wildthing]

come to think of it, kung nagpumilit ang guy to marry a girl, he didn't actually love... it could have been worst pa di ba.

.... it would be her day that day... but a hell-life after that.

in fairness, she is rich... she has the right to sue him.... baka siya pa (rich girl) nga ang gumastos dun.

[Penny_Lane]

Sino ba usually ang gumagastos na wedding? Guy or Girl? or hati?

[ringostarr]

at least the guy did not marry the girl for her money

this also reveals something about the family of the girl. hirap yan lahat bilang

some 2 years ago, I was with a fil-chinese couple in bora. sa sobrang fun namin kapapapicture sa boat, the guy accidentally dropped the girl's brand new nokia current hot phone of the time.

guess what happened next?

no they did not break up after that. naging cold lang si girl kay guy sa remaining 2 days pa namin.

then just this X'mas, I met the guy again sa isang x'mas party. tinanong ko sya, oh kumusta na long time no see after that boracay getaway. and kumusta na kayo ni ????

he told me that they broke up a month after. ha bakit naman? sabi ko. he said: "it all started with the phone that I dropped daw. she started getting cold to me and when we got back, she demanded that I replace the phone. so what I did, was to have it repaired. but the phone didn't last 2 weeks. sira ulit. and so I replaced it with a brand new one. and then she broke up with me"

iniba ko na lang usapan hehehe
