Picture this, it's the night before your wedding, you're a bundle of nerves and excitement. You're about to settle in for a good night's sleep - and then you walk in on your husband-to-be in bed with your bridesmaid.

What would you do if you found yourself in this horrible situation?

For this American bride, and one loyal bridesmaid, they decided to document the whole thing on Twitter as they plotted to get revenge:

Y'all. I have been having the most ridiculous 24 hours. Friend wants to keep the drama off twitter, but is okay with me saying this:

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 17, 2017

She caught her fiance in bed with one of her bridesmaids last night. They were supposed to be getting married today.

It was going to be a low-key backyard wedding. We're still doing the potluck & party. He's not welcome. Locks changed, etc.

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 17, 2017

While the jilted bride was no doubt devastated, her group of loyal pals rallied around her for support:

I took her to the ranch overnight (got to fix my computer this morning as a result!) & we're back in Austin. Swung by my house for supplies

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 17, 2017

And as the group rode through the stages of grief, the bridesmaid continued to update her followers:

She's angry as hell. No tears yet. I was a bridesmaid and there was a third; 3rd and bride and I are plotting.

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 17, 2017

Frankly, I wouldn't piss off two Slytherins and a Ravenclaw, especially if two of them have law degrees.

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 17, 2017

Anyway, I'll probably be MIA the rest of the day but figured y'all would appreciate knowing what was going on. It's been an adventure.

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 17, 2017

Quick update: potluck was fun, his crap is cleared out, and now we are dancing to a good DJ and shooting paintballs at her dress. A+

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

update: Everyone is now calling them "painballs" and I just can't

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

But the party was interrupted by a riveting plot twist:

HOLY SHIT SHITTY BRIDESMAID/SECRET GIRLFRIEND AND THE EX ARE IN LAS VEGAS WHAT IS GOING ON

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

SHE'S LIVESTREAMING THEM GETTING MARRIED WHAT EVEN IS GOING ON HOW IS THIS EVEN HAPPENING

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

And while her support crew watched in amazement, the bride reportedly cried "with laughter".

everyone here is screaming and gathered around an ipad

the bride is on the grass crying with laughter

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

A minute later she shared that the bride "managed to choke out 'I didn't dodge a bullet; I dodged a f**king atomic bomb' oh my gods this is just..."

Incredulously, the cheating groom and his new bride then proceeded to boast about their honeymoon.

Shitty Bridesmaid is boasting how they're going on a REAL honeymoon. We *were* taking bets on whether it would be a tacky resort in Mexico

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

But the jilted bride revealed they wouldn't get far...

or a cliche trip to Paris, but the Bride announced that he's not leaving the country; she's got his passport πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

We are now taking bets on whether she's going to livestream the wedding night.

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

While her former husband-to-be and his new bride were busy planning a getaway, she was busy making sure he had nothing to his name.

Oh btw Ex and Bride had a shared bank account for their honeymoon (they were planning on Scotland in late autumn). She drained & closed it

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

while waiting for me to pick her up last night. She's changed the passwords on all her accounts (including her Netflix, ofc).

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

Dude just angrily texted her b/c he's realized the money is gone

(she's left Cohort Bridesmaid in charge of her phone)

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

As the saga continued, the loyal bridesmaid revealed how her friend had been there for her in a similarly heartbreaking situation:

A little context for y'all: 12 years ago, I caught my ex-fiancee cheating on me when I flew in to surprise her. Bride drove 3 hours to

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

get me and protect me from my grief. When I say I know she'd do the same for me... it's from experience. I caught my cheater 1 yr b4 wedding

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

As the party wound down, the bridesmaid kept her followers updated and went on to share the plan to donate all of the groom's things to charity.

Most folks are leaving/calling cabs. A core half-dozen of us are staying here w/her overnight. She won't be alone this week unless she asks

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

Tomorrow we donate her mattress to a DV shelter. His clothes go to Goodwill. She owns his laptop. His mother is taking anything else.

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

Unless something wild happens (and given the Ex and Shitty Bridesmaid's nuptials, WHO KNOWS?!), this thread is probably done for the moment.

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

Low-key update: we've decided to take his things to *multiple* goodwill locations. Can't make it too easy for him to get it all back.

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

Just to clear up a few things before I go to sleep: she's not *keeping* his passport; he forgot it in his rush to flee his guilty conscience

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

It's one of the items (along with photos and similar) that his mother will be taking. He can deal with *her* wrath.

— Starlight Geek (@starlightgeek) June 18, 2017

But Twitter users couldn't get enough of the action and wanted more.

So was his mother at the potluck? And how pissed is she at him? Is she super involved in his life? I'm hooked, I want the mama drama!

— Service Hellhound | #BLM (@HarleighDog) June 18, 2017

While she may have lost her groom, it sounds like the bride was exactly where she needed to be as the drama unfolded.

Needless to say, she was right when she said she dodged a bullet on this one.
