Groom Gets Last Laugh When Bride Mocks His Engagement Ring

Laura could never have expected that on the happiest day of her life, her happiness would instantly drain from her body as she looked at the ring Tom had given her.

She stared at the thin golden band, she almost hadn’t noticed the tiny diamond attached to it.

She quickly looked away, disgusted that it rubbed her the wrong way. She was used to everyone around her giving her flashy and expensive gifts, so why didn’t he? Why couldn’t he make an exception just this one time?

An Eight-Year Relationship 

When Laura agreed to go out with Tom eight years ago, she’d seen someone she wanted to build a life with. He was driven and resourceful, with big dreams for himself and them as a couple.

Although he’d never mentioned wanting to marry her, she knew that was the end goal. It’d been hers. But when the day finally came, she had to hide the disappointment she felt.

Laura And Tom

Laura and Tom were high school sweethearts. He played in the school band, and she was a cheerleader. Although many of her friends and family expected her to go for players in the football and basketball teams, Laura couldn’t help but choose Tom.

He was everything she wanted in a boyfriend. He was funny and sweet, with excellent grades, musical talent, and a swimmer’s body. So why would he do such a terrible thing eight years later?

Going Back In Time

Laura came from a well-off family with both parents, a great house, and wonderful siblings. A last born, everyone treated her like an egg, pampering her at every turn.

Tom, on the other hand, had things a little different. He was the firstborn in a struggling family that lived on one of the poorest sides of town. He only had his mom and little sister, and he cared for both.

Priorities 

For Tom, life had been divided between school and taking care of his family. His mom was in and out of the hospital because of cancer treatment. After a while, Tom and his little sister learned to fend for themselves.

But despite these hardships, Tom always kept his educational career polished. Unlike many kids around his school, he knew what he wanted to do with his life. That’s what drew Laura to him in the first place.
