I was ghosted by husband just 24 hours after £26,000 wedding – I got home to find nearly all of his stuff gone
A BRIDE has shared how her new husband ghosted her just a day after their lavish £26,000 wedding.
Isabelle Glastonbury, 31, has told how she returned home to find all his things were gone, realising her new husband disappeared as soon as he got his visa approved.
The pair decided to move to Sydney, Australia after meeting in Dallas in 2015.
Their fairytale wedding took place at the Boathouse in Palm Beach and was generously paid for by Isabelle’s parents.
But her happiness didn’t last long as her new hubby vanished after a romantic dinner to celebrate his visa approval.
Heartbroken Isabelle told Daily Mail Australia: “I got home and literally 90 per cent of his stuff had disappeared.
“I tried logging into our immigration accounts, I had been locked out of everything, my credit cards were maxed-out, and I was blocked on his phone, none of my calls or messages going through.”
The distraught wife spend over a month wondering why her husband left her without an explanation.
Isabelle claims that her husband also ghosted their mutual friends, their best man from their wedding, and even his own family.
Her family had even forked up the £5,300 for his visa application themselves.
Looking back on their relationship, she admits there were some concerning signs.
She says he started “disappearing at night”, and she felt like she was married to a “complete stranger”.
She recalls in the days before his disappearance, her husband had told her he wanted to move to Queensland, buy a home and start a family.
Isabelle said she was left stunned when immigration services did little to help after she reported him.
It has now been over a year since the couple officially divorced and the only time Isabelle has spoken to her ex-husband was when they met in February 2021 when he vaguely told her “he had to be single.”
She found out through her friend her ex-partner has now remarried.
She said: “He was my best friend, my ride or die. He fooled everyone, including me.”
But Isabelle has also moved on as she got back together with her childhood sweetheart Max- with whom she has a three-month-old son Mason.
She now wants to warn others as she says there were signs in her relationship she could have spotted.
She said: “Don’t be blind, because I’m sure I could have seen the signs before this happened and I just ignored it, you never really know who you’re sleeping next to.”
