A “totally inebriated” groom was swiftly dumped by his new bride after their vows, leaving him for her ex, also her cousin. A US traveler bride revealed how she ditched her husband on their wedding day for her cousin. Cesaria, 24, from Aberdeen, Maryland, was set to live happily ever after with fellow traveler Sam, 28. But when the groom rocked up at the aisle inebriated, Cesaria found herself looking for the door, and her ex-boyfriend and cousin Kyle were more than willing to join her. The wedding had started with all the pomp and tradition of a typical traveler’s wedding, with Cesaria dressed in an enormous white and gold ballgown.
Speaking on TLC’s Gypsy Brides US, she described having the usual pre-wedding jitters. “I’m nervous about today. It’s a big day, and I have many thoughts going through my head,” she said. Without any other family to witness her union, she controversially asked Kyle, 21, to give her away. “Kyle’s my only family, and that’s why I want him to be a part of the wedding,” she tells the camera. Before the nuptials, Kyle explains that giving his ex away will be tough. “Today’s Cesaria’s wedding day, and I’m going to have to walk her down the aisle and hand her off to Sam,” he said.
“It’s going to be one of the harder moments of my life because, at the end of the day, I wanna be where he is – but I have to deal with it.” And it wasn’t just Kyle struggling with a prospect, with the groom less than happy with the arrangement. Sam adds: “I kind of found out last minute that Kyle’s walking Cesaria down the aisle, and I’m not too thrilled about the situation.” After getting ready, a reluctant Kyle accompanies his cousin and ex-girlfriend to the venue in a horse and cart. But things quickly turn for the worse as soon as Cesaria reaches the end of the aisle.
“I walked into a disappointment. I could smell the alcohol on him,” she explains. “He couldn’t look me in the face. He dropped the wedding rings.” After the awkward union, Cesaria attempts to enjoy her big day, but Sam is determined not to let that happen, seen swigging beer after beer. The bride adds: “So we go to cut the cake, and he couldn’t even keep his eyes open, can’t f***ing talk, can’t stand – everything coming out of his mouth is a slur. “I’m so mad right now. I want out of this dress – Sam’s ruined my wedding. I don’t even want to look at him right now. I wanna leave.”
Sensing his cousin’s disappointment, Kyle takes the opportunity to tell her his true feelings. He tells Cesaria: “I can’t sit by and watch this all happen to you; this is ridiculous; he’s a fool, and you married a joke. “Now’s the time to slip away – what do you say?” Cesaria doesn’t need to ask twice, seen fleeing through the doors with Kyle before sharing a kiss with him in the carpark. She says: “The marriage is done – I’m leaving with Kyle.” According to the show, it’s not uncommon for Romanichal gypsies to marry their first cousins, so wedding bells may soon be on the cards.
