Naturally Rosa was heartbroken but instead of wallowing in her sadness she decided to throw a big party.

The pair were meant to marry this August but after discovering her partner was allegedly cheating has decided to have a “non-wedding party” instead.

Not only did she discover her partner was cheating on her with somebody they both knew, she also lost her job and had to move out of the house the pair shared together.

Rosa – who had already paid deposits for the upcoming nuptials – has decided not to cancel the event and make some money back in the process.

"I had already covered 80% of the value of the wedding and I was the one who paid the vast majority,” Rosa told What's The Jam.

“But that didn’t make it any easier. “I had been living with him for eight years and in a relationship for another three on top.

“I thought about what to do and I came up with three options.

“The first was to sell the entire event with a discount so that a couple could buy it from me.

“The second was to pay the remainder of the event and make my 30th birthday party that will be in October, start from August, and have the party then.

“And the third was to have a non-wedding party!” After considering her choices, Rosa went with option number three.

With her Birthday coming up as well and no job to fall back on, Rosa decided to use what she had planned for the wedding to celebrate.

To ensure she didn't spend anymore money she's asked her friends to chip in for the even.

The party is set to take place on 3 August from 9am to 2pm with a four-course meal, an open bar and live band.

The maximum amount of people allowed is 100.

Rosa has sold tickets to the ‘non-wedding’ – to be held at Las Pampas Eventos, Monterrey, Mexico – at £30 a pop.

She added: “It will be my son and I, plus the 100 guests. “I am still having a party.”

It just goes to prove that a relationship ending isn't the end of the world and you can always make the best out of a terrible situation.
