Eighteen months of planning — flights, guests, flowers and venues. Then, just seven days before the wedding, he told her he was no longer in love and did not want to marry her. This is the story of Katherine Jones, a 36-year-old British entrepreneur who decided to attend the wedding anyway, turning the day into a large celebration in Italy with family and friends.

The chosen venue was Tenuta Mocajo in Montecatini Val di Cecina, where for three days a staged ‘mock’ wedding took place with music, toasts and dinners. Katherine — as she showed on her TikTok profile — even wore the white dress she had planned to wear to the wedding. She also did not cancel the honeymoon: Katherine traveled with her mother to the Amalfi Coast, calling the trip a ‘mummy moon’.
