We Trusted My Son’s Fiancée with the Wedding Funds — Days Before the Big Day, She Vanished. Then Karma Struck.

My son Ethan was careful with love, so when he fell for Vanessa, we were surprised but happy. She was charming, engaged with our family, and quickly became part of our lives. Within three months, they were engaged, and we gave them $27,000 to plan the wedding. Vanessa insisted on planning everything herself — the venue, dress, catering — all of it.

But two days before the wedding, she vanished. No calls. No messages. When we contacted the venue and vendors, we were shocked to learn nothing had been booked. The wedding account was empty — the money spent on luxury items for herself. When we visited her apartment, she had already moved out.

Then, a call from the sheriff’s department revealed everything: “Vanessa” was a con artist who’d scammed multiple families. She was arrested trying to flee the country. We were her seventh victim — but this time, karma caught up with her.

Miraculously, some of the money was recovered. And out of the heartbreak came an unexpected twist: Ethan and the lead officer, Officer Collins, grew close during the investigation. A year later, they’re in love — the real kind. No lies, no drama, just quiet, steady love.

Because sometimes, life removes the wrong person just in time to make room for the right one.
