It’s the stuff of nightmares for a Bride-to-Be. Just a few weeks before beauty blogger Leah Shevlin was due to walk down the aisle to her footballer fiancé, Allan McGregor, she received an email from the venue saying that Allan had called the Wedding off.

The pair were together for almost a decade and have a daughter, making it an even more shocking blow for Leah. She revealed in a blog post how it all panned out.

Leah and Allan were holidaying in Dubai when he turned to her and said ‘I can’t get married’. Leah took it as a drunken joke and nothing more was said. The holiday continued, but then a few days later, Leah received an email from the Wedding planner and venue manager to confirm that they’d cancelled the Wedding at the request of Allan.

Leah said, “He had no explanation behind it, just that he was scared and couldn’t go through with it because he didn’t believe in marriage, he tried to convince me it was only a piece of paper and we didn’t need it to be together.”
