A jilted bride who went ahead with her wedding anyway has been 'overwhelmed' by the support she has received, with strangers donating nearly £7,000 and a free 'honeymoon' from Holly and Phil. Kayley Stead found out on the morning of her big day that her partner of four years would not be there.
Despite this, the 27-year-old went ahead with the ceremony on September 15 in Swansea, surrounded by her loved ones. Speeches were still read with professional photos and she took her first dance with the groomsmen, her brothers, and her dad, Brian.
Although she has come away from this single her friends have rallied around her and not left her side. Best friend and bridesmaid, Jordie Cullen, 27, set up a GoFundMe page to try and recoup some costs and the donations have blown up.

Another donor wrote: "Your story absolutely broke my heart but I’m so proud of you going ahead and enjoying the day with the people who love you the most. You deserve all good things."
