Although these women personally vowed to keep the truth from their guy until death do them part, they revealed it all to us.
A Rash Decision
'My husband made me swear that I wouldn't go to a tanning salon before our wedding. But I wanted to have a nice glow, so I bought a package of tanning appointments. I went a few times, and he didn't notice that I was getting progressively more bronzed. Then five days before the wedding, I squeezed in another trip to the salon. Unfortunately, I stayed in the tanning bed for too long and turned cherry red. So when I came home, it was obvious what I'd done. I lied and told him I'd only gone once, but he was still angry. Any normal person would never go back after that. But after a couple of days, my colour had faded, so I booked one last appointment. I ended up with a rash. Of course, I blamed it on that "first" tanning session.'

Two-and-a-Half Men
'My fiancé thinks I'm so sweet and innocent, but he doesn't know I have a wild past. When I was at university, I'd hook up with different guys every week - a couple of times, I'd even see two guys in the same night. And that's not all: During our first few months of dating, I was seeing my ex-boyfriend on the sly at the same time.'

The Bridal Wars
'When it came time for me and my husband to create the guest list for our wedding, his little sister handed us the names of about 20 girls, most of whom we didn't know. I threw a fit and told my guy she had to cut some people. She, however, pulled the little sister card and got all her friends secured on the list despite my protests. My husband told me to just let it go. I still had the last laugh, though - I secretly threw away the invitations for her friends. When she began questioning why her friends never received them, I told her they must have gotten lost in the mail. My guy suspects I had something to do with it, but I'll never confess to him.'

Naughty Vice
'I've been dating my fiancé since high school, and he knows everything about me. Well…almost everything. A few years ago, during a trip to Plett with a group of friends, I had too much to drink and ended up grinding with a random guy at a club and making out with him. My friends had to pry me away and practically carry me back to the hotel room.'

Till Dress Do Us Part
'Atter months of stressful wedding planning, I thought I was going to come to blows with my future mother-in-law. I didn't want my fiancé to know that I couldn't stand her, so I pretended everything was fine. Meanwhile, I devised a sneaky way to take out my aggression. She asked me to look at her choices for mother-of-the-groom dresses, some of which were more expensive and fancier than my wedding gown. She told me I could make the final decision, so I picked the ugliest one of the bunch - it was a hideous banana yellow and looked like a tacky matric dance dress.'
