The thread quickly filled with every angle of wedding drama it’s possible for you to imagine.
Here’s what people shared:
1.
“I was at a friend’s relative’s wedding.
The groom slurred his way through his vows.
The ring he tried to put on her finger didn’t fit.
The ring didn’t fit because he bought it for his ex-fiancee.
He started crying and left.
He left the venue.
The bride had the marriage annulled.
The groom tried to get back with his ex.
She had moved on and was engaged already.
He then tried to get back with the bride.
Fortunately, she had a firm backbone and told him to get lost.
Last I heard, she got with a great guy, and they have kids.
The groom is still alone.”

“I was bartending a wedding, and the groom kept getting drink after drink.
He was so drunk that I started making his drinks with water, and he didn’t notice.
Next thing you know, he is kissing a bridesmaid in the middle of the dance floor.
His new father-in-law didn’t take kindly to this and proceeded to knock him out.
They got it annulled.”

He then ran over and started cutting his OWN credit card while the DJ played ‘Rich Girl.'"

“About a week before the wedding, she found proof that he was cheating.
She’d already suspected it, but now there was evidence.
All of us bridesmaids encouraged her to call it off.
Even her father, who paid for everything, told her it was fine if she called it off.
But she went ahead anyway, and we all had to smile through it.
A year later, they had a baby.
A year after that, they were divorced.”

I also told her about the multiple red flags I saw in their (bride and groom) relationship.
I advised her not to marry the mama’s boy before it was too late.
Their marriage lasted six months."
The bride had points to upgrade their flight tickets to first class.
The bride was caught off-guard by seeing her MIL at the airport.
The groom said he and his mum would fly first class, and the bride could fly economy.
Then, the groom brought up their hotel arrangements.

“The groom went missing between the ceremony and the reception.
The bride found him banging the best man in the toilets.
She smashed a glass in his face.”
u/karamellokoala
8.
The bride filed for divorce when they came back home and she moved back in with her parents.
She felt betrayed and humiliated by her friend and husband.
We dropped the husband as a friend, as my husband and I have zero trust in cheaters."

It caused a huge fight, and the groom walked out right there."

“The bride had a very Instagram wedding, which was quite over the top.
She had two different dresses and a videographer who made it look like it was a film.
The cake tasted absolutely incredible, though, 10/10.”
u/Bruce___Wayne
11.
“They were both 35 and successful: a lawyer and doctor.
But, they had never spent the night at each other’s houses.
After the marriage, they couldn’t agree on who would move in with whom.
They filed for divorce after three months.
No one knows why they even got married at all.
I guess they felt like they were supposed to at that age.”

It was two weeks, at most."

“My cousin was in a toxic relationship for a long time.
They got engaged, and he tried to leave her before the wedding.
Her family (apparently drug-doing, trouble-making hillbillies) pressured him into staying.
The wedding was called off about a week before and was back on in less than 24 hours.
He married her, and they separated the next day.
They’re getting a divorce now.
She just had a baby, and we’re unsure if it’s his.
This happened pretty recently, so it’s causing some family drama.”
u/Xingxingting

“It was a destination wedding.
No one had anything good to say about them as a couple.
I’m not sure how quickly they separated after, but we never saw the wedding photos.
I think it was a matter of weeks.
We spent over 2,000 to be there.”

She cried at the altar, but not a sweet happy cry.
It seemed like a really upset ‘Im about to make a big mistake’ cry.
I remember thinking, ‘This doesn’t seem right.
Why is she crying like that?’
We went through with it, and she started cheating three months later.
I learned about it three months after that, and we divorced."

The side chick had no idea either, so they had a long talk about him before confronting him.
She got an annulment due to entering into the marriage under false circumstances."

They wanted the wedding but weren’t ready for the future afterward.
Both couples divorced in less than two years.

“My brother married a woman from Russia while in the army.
The whole family thought she married him for a green card, but he was convinced it was love.
They had their ceremony in a gazebo on a military base.
It was a small gathering of family that traveled from out of state.
Hisbest friendsince high school got ordained so that he could marry them.
My brother was really excited.
They divorced a year later.”

“The groom was about 35 and the bride was 25.
They lasted a year.
He’s still doing very well as a lawyer.
She was on the board of major organizations before she was 30.
He either utterly misjudged her as a person or was threatened by her.
Either way, she divorced him and moved on.”

“I live in a small town in Switzerland, so everybody knows everybody.
A couple was set to marry on a Saturday.
The guests came along, and while they were greeted, the bride excused herself.
She left to suck off a former male friend of hers ‘one last time’ and got caught.
We used to joke about her ‘blowing off the wedding.’
This happened years ago, and they both live separately in our town.
When I see them, I can’t think of anything but this story.”
u/ringgenbergeast
24.
“Tale as old as time.
My roommates and I were so confused when she came back from Christmas break engaged.
Girl, our bedrooms are right next to each other.
That made for awkward times, as we still lived together until the wedding.
Another roommate and I tried to tell her fiance what was happening, but he totally blew us off.
I think he was in denial and just made excuses for her.
They lasted 10 months, I think.”

The wedding was fun, though, and the booze was free."

“The groom smashed the cake into the bride’s face when she had specifically told him not to.
I have never seen rage shoot from someone’s eyes like that before.
She walked out of the wedding and tore up the certificate.
She called the whole thing off.
There had been other red flags with the groom, but this was the final straw.
Honestly, I’m happy for her.
The groom gave me weird vibes the few times I’d met him.”
u/FawkesFire13

It was a HUGE and costly wedding.
I still feel bad for the bride.
She was super nice, and he was such an idiot.
I hope she got the wedding annulled and found someone who deserved her.

Both are married to different people now and have had more kids.
By all accounts, they are far more civil, even cordial, with each other."

“The groom caught the bride cheating with the best man at the wedding.
It had been going on for months.
They kept it together for the night so no one knew.
They tried to make it work but only lasted three months.”

“Good mate of mine.
I got a weird vibe at the wedding, so I knew something was up.

Interestingly, my friend didn’t see it, considering what a strong and independent woman she is.
She divorced him before their first anniversary.

“The bride had a history of being extremely flirty and staying in touch with her ex.
The husband was very conscious of this and constantly asked her where she was and who she was with.
Even though the flags were very red, they had a massively expensive wedding.
It lasted three weeks.”
u/Neither-Cup564
33.And: “The wedding was lovely and perfect.
She called my sister.
I wouldn’t be back for another eight weeks, so she was welcome to use it until then.
I met her at work when I was back and got all the gossip.
A few years later, she found a genuinely good man.
The wedding was low-key.”

Have you ever gone to a wedding where the marriage didn’t last very long?
