My name is Tessa. Just three weeks before my wedding, I found out my fiancé, Jared, was secretly planning a “closure vacation” with his ex-girlfriend Miranda. I thought he was going on a simple bachelor trip with friends, but instead, he was flying off with the woman he’d dated for three years before me.Shocked and heartbroken, I kept calm and reached out to Liam my college ex, someone I still cared about and who had stayed in touch over the years.
Together, we hatched a plan to confront Jared and take back control. On the day Jared and Miranda were supposed to leave, Liam and I showed up at the airport as if we were heading off on a trip together. Jared was speechless when he saw us, clearly rattled by our unexpected appearance.
What began as a prank quickly turned real. Liam and I spent a week in Cabo reconnecting, sharing stories, and rediscovering why we had fallen for each other in the first place. The more time we spent together, the more I realized this was the future I truly wanted.
Six months later, Liam moved to my city and proposed. We married in a small, intimate ceremony surrounded by close family and friends — the wedding I was always meant to have. As for Jared, he sent me a single line email months later: “Guess your closure worked.” And it did in more ways than one.
