I went to a wedding as a guest-for-hire and the groom proposed to ME?!

I had plenty of time to kill... and my body felt stiff from just lounging at home, so I looked for part-time jobs and found a gig as a wedding guest-for-hire.
They said I could just sit there and even get a free meal afterward. "Jackpot! This is such a sweet deal," I thought as I applied.
By some stroke of luck, I got the job. On the day of the wedding, I dressed neatly and modestly, entered the hall, and took my seat to watch the ceremony.
"Groom, enter!"
Amidst loud cheers and applause, the groom walked in and stood at the altar, waiting for the bride. But then... whether it was a coincidence or just my imagination, our eyes met right before the bride's entrance was announced, and it felt like he gave me a faint smile.
Dismissing it as a delusion, I watched the bride enter and cheered for the beautiful couple. But... during the ring exchange, the groom didn't turn to the bride. Instead, he walked toward the guest seats with the ring in hand, knelt before me, and...
"Groom, enter!" As the officiant's voice echoes through the hall, I straighten my clothes and walk in.
I enter amidst loud cheers and applause, waiting only for the bride to make her entrance.
While scanning the guests before the bride enters, my eyes meet with one person. In that moment, my heart pounds, and the thought 'Ah... it's that person. My real bride' fills my head. I quickly compose myself and give that person a faint smile. At that exact moment, the officiant's voice rings out again.
"Bride, enter!"
She was someone I once believed was my love, but now she is my fake bride, someone I will never see again. I take her hand and listen to the officiant. Just before the ring exchange, I receive the ring, walk past her as she stands there smiling and feigning innocence, and approach the guest I locked eyes with earlier. I drop to one knee and speak.
"Will you be my bride?"
