Ik looked up compuesta in the dictionary and it said ' dressed up' ?
So I guess this would be to be left dressed up without a fiancé? w.r.t. the translation you offered: ' To fail to reach your goal' ' To fall short (of reaching your goal)' w.r.t. the bride being left at the altar - in fact these are used in general not just in this situation in the meaning of being abandoned or let down: ' To be stood up' ' To be left high and dry'. ' To be let down'
