In an unexpected twist, a man from Kuching, Sarawak, had a shocking revelation on what was supposed to be his wedding day – he discovered that his fiancée was already married with two children.
The revelation came to light on November 10, on the wedding day, as revealed by the bride's own aunt.

The engaged couple had been planning their wedding since October 12 of the previous year, with all arrangements, including presenting hantaran (gifts) to the bride's family, seemingly in place. Despite the engagement, the identities of the individuals involved were not disclosed, though it was mentioned that the bride worked as a uniformed member of a government agency.
Suspicions arose when the fiancée disappeared without a trace on November 9, the day before the wedding, and she had blocked the man's phone number when he attempted to contact her.
Upon his family's arrival at a homestay in Daro, the chosen wedding venue, they were surprised to find that there were no reserved rooms under their names. The rooms were supposed to be arranged by the bride.
In a Facebook post reported by Harian Metro, the man shared that due to extreme fatigue, he had to use his own money to cover expenses that were originally the bride's responsibility.

Upon reaching the wedding venue, the man was stunned to find an absence of furnishings or decorations. Despite attempts to contact the fiancée and her father, both remained unreachable. The man and his family sought information from a neighbor, who, to their astonishment, turned out to be the bride's aunt.
During their interaction, the man learned that the name the bride had provided was false, and he expressed disbelief at the willingness of the woman's father to conspire in allowing his daughter, already married with two children, to engage with him.
"I was speechless, angry, and sad – all emotions were there. It was difficult to find words at that moment. We incurred losses for the wedding preparations, had already divided the hantaran money, and my family's dignity was at stake," he shared.
Subsequently, the man filed a police report against the woman and appealed to the relevant authorities to take firm action.
He concluded his Facebook post by hinting at the woman's numerous deceptive acts and expressed his intent to pursue legal action against her.
