Weddings are supposed to be the happiest day of your life, but for this couple, it turned into a nightmare. Their families planned a surprise wedding for them, despite their wishes to have a small, private marriage. After being driven to the location, they discovered the truth and made the decision to leave. Now, their families are angry and calling them ungrateful and disrespectful. The couple is questioning whether they made the right decision. Should they have stayed and gone through with the traditional wedding, or was it within their rights to leave? Let's judge their actions and decide if they were in the wrong or not.
