Melbourne influencer Adelle Petropoulos has gone viral after cancelling her wedding but going ahead with the celebration, earning widespread praise from followers who labelled her “iconic.”
Petropoulos, who has 185,000 TikTok followers and nearly 50,000 on Instagram, marked what would have been her wedding night with a party at Maison Batard alongside her closest friends.
The event featured a viral cake reading “cheaters don’t get cake,” with Petropoulos sharing photos of herself dressed up and biting into it.
“Cancelled the wedding, kept the party,” she wrote, adding: “Thank god for my girls.”

Petropoulos confirmed in a TikTok that she cancelled her wedding to ex-fiancé Anfa four months ago, saying: “Do you know what I didn’t have on my bingo card this year, cancelling my f***ing wedding. Anf and I are not together anymore.”
She declined to detail the reason for the breakup, saying she would not “hurt people no matter how much I was wronged”, but added: “On a very surface level something has happened that didn’t align with my principles and my values… and I have decided to walk away.”
She has since sold the non-refundable items and services intended for her wedding, even gifting some to nominated brides in need.
Her empowered response, and the cake that “told us all the story”, has since drawn millions of views across social media.
