'I was jilted at the alter but still went through with wedding so mum could see my big day before dying'

A bride who continued with her wedding despite being jilted at the altar said she has no regrets - because it meant her mum saw her 'big day' before she died. Kayley Stead, 27, discovered she wasn't going to marry her partner of almost four years the morning of her do.

Despite the heartbreak, Kayley decided to go ahead with the big day, surrounded by her loved ones - including mum Dee, 65. She did her wedding entrance, meal, speeches, dances and even posed for professional photos without her groom.

Insurance clerk Kayley, who lives in Portmead, Swansea, Wales, has spoken out for the first time since moving on from her heartbreak to reveal she has no regrets. Her mum Dee died just four months after the wedding, and defying convention by going on with her big day despite being jilted, means she got to see Kayley's big day.
