To test his bride, the rich groom dressed up in shabby suit and arrived at the wedding in an old car
Melanie didn’t know what to do anymore. She paced back and forth, unable to calm herself down. The wedding dress even seemed to cause unbearable pain.

It was heavy and awkward, but that wasn’t the issue. Where was the groom? There were only 15 minutes left before the registration. Guests crowded around the registry office, waiting.

The bride had to keep her emotions in check, which was especially difficult. Melanie’s friends were already exhausted, either from high heels or tedious waiting. They couldn’t wait to start taking pictures and posting stories on Instagram.

The photographers leading the ceremony were just as nervous as Melanie. They kept running up and asking if everything was all right. Time passed, and Adrian was still not there.

Tension was in the air, and every minute, Vanessa and Nicholas’ faces looked more and more puzzled. How is it possible to be late for your own wedding? The bride’s mother was the first to speak, apparently tired of the tedious waiting. The passion subsided literally a few minutes later.

An old Buick, the same age as Melanie, pulled up to the registry office. The guests stared in surprise at the young man who got out of the car. He was dressed in a simple trouser suit and held a bouquet of three chrysanthemums in his hands.

Men and women emerged from the back seat. They seemed a little younger than Melanie’s parents, and their attire would have caused even more questions. All of their clothes seemed to be from the previous century.

Without any embarrassment, the company began to climb the stairs. Oh, what an interesting costume wedding! Someone of Melanie’s guests shouted. The young man laughed and handed the bewildered Melanie the bouquet of chrysanthemums.

Hi darling, please excuse my late. The guests fell silent and watched with interest as the events unfolded. Adrian, what is this? Please explain, is this some kind of surprise? It seemed like Melanie was suffocating from her tight corset.

My love, calm down. This is not a surprise. Unfortunately, or fortunately, this is the harsh truth of life.

I just fell so in love with you that I couldn’t tell you the whole truth right away. I’m not rich, my parents are simple workers, and I, I’m just a taxi driver who wants to become your beloved husband. Melanie’s face flared up angrily.

Adrian, how can you joke about me like that? Is this a hidden camera shoot? A test to see if I can marry a poor, unfortunate groom? Melanie, wait, don’t look for a catch. There are no cameras here. You just professed your love to me yesterday.

Has your attitude towards me really changed so quickly? Stop kidding around, Adrian. What kind of circus have you created here? Did you decide to humiliate me completely? Well, thanks. You succeeded.

How did I not realize you were a fraudster from the start? No circus here. Adrian’s voice was now more serious. We were on a boat ride together.

Remember, you told me you wanted to live with me for the rest of your life. And at the cafe, remember, I gave you an expensive watch as a gift? I bought all of that with my honestly earned money. I knew you wouldn’t want a modest wedding, so I took a loan for this event.

Melanie covered her face with her hands and cried silently. She couldn’t imagine that the happiest day of her life would turn out to be the worst. The girl thought she had met a considerate, gentle, and wealthy young man.

After painting her cloudless future in bright colors, she even started to do worse in university, naively thinking that she wouldn’t have to immediately start looking for a job after graduation, as her parents had constantly urged her to do. The financial situation of the future groom did not raise any questions either, stylishly dressed in an expensive car, with a flat that was able to be built in the most prestigious area of the city. No, Melanie didn’t think she had won the lucky ticket.

All of this was natural to her. She was from well-to-do family and was pretty, so why not choose a partner to match? Adrian tried to embrace the bride, but Melanie pushed him away and said angrily, how could you? How could you embarrass me in front of all my relatives on such a day? There will be no wedding. The girl turned her back on the guests and walked away.

The stunned parents of the bride and groom silently looked at each other and didn’t know what to do. One of the bride’s friends secretly took out her phone and filmed everything that was happening. The guests froze as if petrified…
