“It’s been indefinitely postponed,” a friend of the couple told the New York Post.
“And it probably won’t happen. Sam is really upset and heartbroken,” the insider continued. “He’s embarrassed and p***ed. He didn’t deserve this. Everyone is p***ed.”
The couple’s wedding page on The Knot has been removed from the website.
“He says it’s f***ed up that she cheated with a little kid,” the friend recounted to the publication.
“He’s really really hurt.”
The pal added that Hickman is still confused and in shock and not talking too much about it.
“Not only did she cheat on him, but she cheated with a little kid.”

The couple got engaged in December, according to Bergmann’s Facebook.
The alleged sexual assault was uncovered after the fifth grader’s parents reportedly found text messages between the teacher and their son, which they printed off and gave to police, and allegedly detailed how Bergmann liked when the victim touched her and that she enjoyed “making out” with him.
The boy’s mother first overheard her son and Bergman talking on the phone before she informed the child’s father, KARE reported.
Officers searched Bergmann’s bag and found handwritten notes between the two, charging documents said, though the details of what was in the written exchange were unclear.
Bergmann invoked her rights to an attorney when asked about the text exchange between her and the student, but she did tell cops that the victim’s mother gave her the student’s phone number after the family invited her to a skiing resort over winter break.

Bergmann faces one count of first-degree child sexual assault.
She was suspended from her job following her arrest, and not allowed to have contact with students, parents or staff from Hudson School District.
She is also not permitted on district property and cannot attend any school activities.
“Learning about a school staff member and alleged inappropriate conduct that breaches trust is deeply troubling for all of us,” the school said in a statement.
Bergmann was released on a $25,000 bond. Her next court appearance is scheduled for May 30.
