Breaking News:Taylor Swift to the Rescue: Woman Perfects New Plan on Canceled Wedding Day

A woman online has made the best of a devastating situation.

In a TikTok video, creator Jessica Buchanan (@makeitjess) went viral for capturing the number of times she cried on her would-have-been wedding day after her ex-fiancé called it off. She spoke to Newsweek about the plans she made instead: Attending a Taylor Swift concert by herself. Since it was posted, Buchanan’s video has received over 3 million views and 392,000 likes.

“It’s okay,” she captioned the video. “I can laugh about this now.” In the video, her grand total of times crying equaled nine.

Buchanan, 32, from Toronto, Canada, said she and her ex had been together for six years and friends for years before that. As their wedding date got closer, though, their differences began to run deeper.
“We had been discussing what we wanted out of life and marriage, and we were not aligned on what we wanted,” she said. “Through therapy we realized we were heading for a difficult marriage.”

Buchanan said she still wanted to get married because she believed no relationship was perfect. She said she felt ready to put in the work. Her ex-fiancé, though, decided to call it off anyway—just over two weeks before the wedding date.

“It’s always been a bit of a thorn in my side that he was the one who wanted to propose, and then he changed his mind, and that he took so long to do it,” Buchanan said. “The entire wedding was ready to go. I’m a DIY bride so I had made all our centerpieces. I then sold everything on Facebook Marketplace afterwards.”
