I would try to talk to both of them and explain how special the relationship was. I would try to help the friend understand that marriage is a lifelong commitment and encourages them to consider how their actions might affect the other person, their families, and themselves. At the same time, I would make sure that they’re aware of available support services as well as helping them decide what they wish to tell the groom about how they feel before it’s too late. Most importantly though, I would be there for both of them - offering whatever guidance or support I could – no matter what choice was made.

If a friend confided in me that they were in love with the groom to be, I would first and foremost tell them to follow their heart. Life is too short to stay in a comfort zone out of fear. If the groom still has time before the wedding, I’d tell them to talk to him. Whether it leads to something concrete or just provides some clarity and peace of mind is up to them, but speaking one’s truth (even when it’s difficult) is better than living with uncertainty. After that, it’s important for friends should support whatever decision the person makes - whether it's making a stand and potentially losing their friendship if they break up a relationship or trying communication with their beloved and potentially jeopardizing his relationship if things go wrong. This can be a tough place for all involved so nothing should be imposed; any efforts need full consent from all parties. Mostly importantly though, anytime someone expresses their feelings you needto lend your ear and listen compassionately—without judgement—allowing those feelingto speak what is inourheartand make sure we are also being true as best wecanon this journey together regardlessofresults! That’strereallywhatcompasisonlookslikeinpractice.
