Bride has ‘no regrets’ after being jilted at altar as it meant her mum saw her ‘big day’ before she died

A bride who went ahead with her wedding celebrations despite being jilted at the altar said she doesn’t regret it as it meant her mum was there on her ‘big day’ before she died. Kayley Stead, 27, discovered that she wasn’t getting married the morning of her wedding when her groom mysteriously disappeared.

The couple had been together for almost four years; they began dating in December 2018 and got engaged in August 2020. She found out he’d left his groomsman on the morning of the wedding and hadn’t returned.

But Kayley decided to carry on and party with her friends and family, which included her mum Dee, 65. Kayley, an insurance clerk from Portmead, Swansea, Wales, went ahead with the wedding entrance, meal, speeches, dances and even professional wedding photos.
