After crying for days, the jilted bride decided to do something drastic. She gathered her bridesmaids and destroyed her wedding dress along with theirs at a Color Fun Fest in Tampa.

Manulak told reporters she would ever have done something like this if things had gone according to plan.

“I wanted to keep my dress. I wanted to maybe alter it, or do something new to it. But I definitely didn’t want to destroy it,” she said.

The jilted bride then thanked her fiance for sparing her the heartache she would have experienced in the future if they had gotten married.
