Alex is the kind of guy you don't want to marry, Ember. He is a cheater, someone who would not be true to only one girl. Alex's bride-to-be found evidence on his phone (the night before the planned wedding) that he had another girlfriend. So, instead of marrying him, she read the proof (text messages) to her wedding guests. So, she embarrassed him in front of a lot of friends and did not marry him and that was her revenge.
