Not only that, the groom was forced to pay all the expenses for his wedding preparations, which amounted to thousands of ringgit."

Already Do Massive Preparation

This man, who has known his future wife since 2021 and got engaged on October 12th last year. All the preparations have been made to celebrate the wedding ceremony on November 10th and the wedding reception the next day at the bride's house in Matu, Mukah. On what should have been the pinnacle of happiness, this man encountered a great disappointment.

"He arrived in Daro, Mukah, with his family and entourage totaling 22 people on Thursday night. The large group was ready to stay at the homestay that had been booked by the bride."

The following 'Bahasa' text has been translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Sad facts emerged when the homestay owner informed that no reservations were accepted on that date. The groom tried to contact the bride several times without receiving any response."

"Although Disappointed, Trying to Maintain Positive Thoughts"

In a very tired state, he had to pay for the homestay from his own money, including other expenses that should have been taken care of by the bride's party. "At that time, I already felt that something was not right, because he said everything was arranged. But I tried to think positively and calmly and prepared everything needed for our wedding the next day," he said.

There are no visible signs of a wedding event.

On the wedding day, together with the entourage, this man visited the bride's house. Astonishment struck when there were no signs of celebration or wedding preparations at the place. "We arrived there and felt strange because it seemed like there was no reception at all, empty!" There were absolutely no wedding preparations. I tried to contact the bride and her father, but both of them couldn't be reached," said the groom-to-be.

The thing that makes the groom confused, the given address is correct. But the house seems empty. The groom then went to the neighbor's house to ask about the bride's house, which appeared uninhabited.

It turns out that it is not the groom's house but his aunt's place from his mother's side. The groom then explains the purpose of his arrival with the entourage and asks about the bride. The disappointment deepens when the neighbor reveals who the actual bride-to-be is.

"Nama Berbeda dan Sudah Menikah" translates to "Different Name and Already Married" in English.

It turns out that the name of the prospective wife he has known all this time is not her real name, but a fake alias. What hurts him even more is the fact that the woman is already married and has two children.

The tragic event has shattered the groom's heart and he has to bear a huge financial burden. The incident has also ruined his dream marriage and left a big question mark about the bride's motive for deceiving him.

"I have already lost the expenses for wedding preparations and dowry, where is my family's dignity? We came from far away and feel deceived," he said. After that, he and his family made a police report regarding the fraud, which caused a loss of around 30,000 ringgit (equivalent to Rp99 million)."
