When Chloe arrived at her best friend Ava’s wedding with her fiancé Mark, she faced a shocking surprise. Despite being engaged for three years and having helped plan the wedding, Chloe’s plus-one was rejected at the door. Ava’s rule was strict: only married couples could bring a guest.

Ethan, Ava’s cousin, blocked Mark’s entry, insisting engagement wasn’t enough. Chloe called Ava, but she ignored the calls. Inside, many guests’ partners were turned away too, leaving empty seats and a tense atmosphere.

At the reception, Chloe confronted Ava, who tearfully insisted she only wanted “official couples” at her wedding. Chloe was heartbroken and felt betrayed after years of friendship and support. Mark waited patiently nearby, offering comfort.

The next day, Chloe decided to step back from Ava. Months later, Chloe and Mark had a small wedding filled with love and acceptance, inviting all their guests’ partners regardless of marital status.
