The pastor at the wedding, in front of a couple hundred people, said, "can you believe that just two months ago, (bride's name) was in my house, crying because she was so lonely and wanted to be married so badly? And now look at her two months later, getting married to a guy she met the next day!" Even her elderly grandmother laughed out loud.

Attended a wedding where the bride talked, not about her love for him or how great he is, but more about how he changed so much of his personality for her & how that made everything perfect.
#3
The groom had the ring in his pocket but forgot which one and the bride visually annoyed said "That's the kind of guy i'm marrying".
They divorced within the year.
It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of planning a wedding, picking out outfits, and imagining life as newlyweds. But marriage is a much bigger commitment than a beautiful ceremony and exchanging rings.
You need to be honest about the person you're choosing to spend your life with. Ignoring troubling behavior just because the wedding date is set can leave you dealing with problems that should have been addressed long before you walk down the aisle.

The groom forgot the bride's name during his toast to her and called her a similar but very different name. (Like, if her name was Brenda, he called her Brittney.) It lasted two years.
Oddly the wedding where the bride started labor during the reception is going strong ten years later. It was absolutely a quick wedding, her father pretty much told him either man up and marry her, or get out of her life so she could find the kid a real father. The groom was at the time a stoner who most of our family disliked (I always kinda liked him, but I wouldn't have wanted to be having a baby with him, I was certain she would be a married single mom.) and somehow between her third trimester and the birth he straightened up.
He worked for a few years, got injured and became a stay at home dad while she worked. (This is not a dig at him in the least, he's a great dad, and seems to be a great husband. Their home is always clean enough to be healthy, cluttered enough to be comfortable, and he cooks dinner six nights a week so his wife can come home and relax after work.) Plus while he was working, she was going to school for her special education certification and he never once tried to discourage her or imply that it was a stupid job to want the way her mother did.
But yeah, when your water breaks during the father daughter dance, things will be said.

During the vows the bride laughed at the "for richer or poorer" part and wouldn't say it. Somehow they're still going strong. I sure hope he never loses his job.
#6
After the ceremony, the bride (who had epilepsy) had a seizure and her family took her into a side room away from all the guests to look after her until she’d recovered. The groom didn’t bother to go and help look after his wife, he was too busy getting drunk and partying with all his mates. Even after the bride recovered enough to return to the celebrations he didn’t stay with her or comfort her and she sat there in tears for half the night.
It lasted a couple of years before they divorced due to his selfishness and alcohol problem.
The way your partner handles disagreements can tell you a lot about what life together might look like. Do they listen when you disagree, or make you feel small for having a different opinion? Relationship experts identify four destructive communication patterns that can damage relationships: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling.
These involve putting your partner down, treating them with disrespect, refusing to take responsibility, or shutting them out during disagreements. Occasional arguments are normal, but repeatedly treating each other this way shouldn't be brushed aside.
#7
The groom wouldn’t stop talking about the marriage like it was a prison sentence. He incessantly went on about how it was the end of his freedom and how he was going to be tied down to “the ball and chain” now. They were divorced in just under a year.
#8
The bride was 32-48 years old. She was a compulsive liar. Said she had 2-4 kids but that her ex took their lives them and got away with it. Married the groom within 3 months of meeting. He was 21 and a virgin.
She drove a wedge between him and his extremely close family. She made him quit his waiter job because he wasn’t “allowed” to talk to women. They got married in a Waffle House parking lot.
Last I heard they were still together. He can no longer have friends so I can’t talk to him. I’m a woman so he’s double banned.

I worked with a guy whose wife was like that. We had to travel for work, but he wasn’t allowed.
#9
The groom was madly in love with his fiancé (as one would hope), always got the vibe she just wasn’t that... into it.
During the wedding he was so nervous he stuttered. Bride rolled her eyes and looked pissed.
Then later in the night after dinner and music had started, the bride got annoyed people weren’t staying in their allocates seats.
They had a “wishing well” for presents. We added our anonymous gift with a card and thought that was that. One week later get a call that we did not put in. This ended up getting so bad it tore down multiple friendships for the groom. Bride wanted enough money to buy a house.
Turns out bride was cheating on him the whole time, with someone who was also married.
It's important to recognize controlling behavior before moving forward with marriage. A partner who constantly checks your phone, dictates who you can spend time with, or tries to make every decision for you isn't necessarily being protective. They may be trying to control your life.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline identifies isolation, invading a partner's privacy, and controlling their choices as signs of an unhealthy relationship. These behaviors shouldn't be dismissed as jealousy or proof of affection.

My cousin's wedding: he was in the Army, his bride was 6 months pregnant, a senior in high school, and she had just turned 18 the previous day.
Her grandfather was the officiant and he gave a big speech about how marriage was only between one man and one woman and no one can tear apart what God puts together.
They opened their gifts in front of everyone like it was a birthday party. There was no alcohol, dancing, or food.
Within 30-40 minutes after the gift opening the "happy" couple peeled out of the Boy Scout lodge, doing donuts while her teenage friends cheered them on. They spent the night at the hotel everyone was staying at - separately - which consisted of him getting drunk with his friends while she was alone in their room. In front of our entire family my sister said "I give them a year." She was wrong though.
Within 3 months of the kid coming they had split and my cousin swears the kid isn't his. The whole wedding was one giant red flag.
#11
I saw the newly married couple step out of an elevator, and he accidentally stepped on her dress. She snapped and turned around, yelling "Do that again and see what happens"
He was stonefaced and without saying anything, immediately went to the bar for a beer.
#12
I wasn't actually there, but a girl I went to school with posted video of her ceremony on FB. Groom was so drunk the Best Man had to hold him upright. Lots of swaying and random, incoherent babbling. Bride didn't seem particularly phased by it and had a sort of "eh, just ignore him & let's get on with it" kind of attitude. There was also an album of photos and the Groom was flipping off the camera in literally every pic he was in. I was honestly shocked that the officiant went through with the ceremony, and doubly shocked she put it out there for everyone to see.
Cue a few months worth of "I can't believe he's drunk all the time!" follow-up posts. Divorced less than a year later.
Couples should also have honest conversations about the things that will shape their life together. Do you both want children? What are your financial habits, and does either person have debts the other should know about? How will you share household responsibilities, and what role should extended family play in your marriage? These might not be the most romantic conversations, but they're important.
#13
Bride told me and my partner a few weeks earlier that she didnt want to go through with it. She had generic vows, husbands were beautiful. She had a sour face the whole time, it was almost funny. It ended up turning out that she was shagging my partner the last year and she left her husband for him 4 months in. I dodged a bullet.
#14
The bride and groom got in an argument post-reception and the bride ran away.
It was in a small town in the middle of nowhere but we ran around all night trying to find her. What an adventure.
Yes we found her after a couple hours. She was near the hotel just chilling outside acting like nothing happened.
#15
The groom spent the almost the entire wedding glued to his (female) work colleague, to the point that the bride had to drag him away for their first dance. They also kept going off somewhere together (a friend tried to follow them outside but it was too dark to locate them). You could see the obvious hurt on the bride's face throughout the day.
Prior to the wedding he'd taken his colleague away abroad for his stag 'do (just the two of them, despite the bride's protests), and in his wedding speech he pointed his colleague out and told her that he'd had "the best time of his life" that weekend.
They're still together at the moment but I don't see it being the happy ending that the bride was so desperate for.
Premarital counseling can also help couples address issues they might otherwise keep putting off. You don't have to wait until you're arguing about money or disagreeing over how to raise your children before seeking professional guidance.
A study found that these programs helped improve couples' communication skills. Having someone guide these conversations can help partners understand each other's expectations before making a lifelong commitment.
#16
The groom refused to get dressed & wore a black T-shirt & sneakers. The bride looked incredible in her gown & he looked like he was popping to the shops for a pack of ciggies.
#17
Groom was clearly having a good time, bride was visibly uncomfortable. When it came time for vows the Groom had a long list and read it off nicely. The bride said something along the lines of "I'm just gonna wing it- basically you're my best friend" and trailed off soon after. Thank god for the open bar.
#18
I'm the keyboard player for a wedding band so I've seen all sorts of ridiculous s**t at weddings that would qualify as a red flag. That said, one stands above the rest: the groom aggressively grinding on 2 of the bridesmaids (simultaneously); one of which was the bride's sister.
Nobody enters marriage with everything figured out, and one awkward moment at a wedding isn't enough to predict how a relationship will turn out. People make mistakes, and couples can work through disagreements.
But there's a difference between ordinary relationship challenges and repeated behavior that leaves one partner feeling disrespected or unsafe. Don't let the excitement of getting married convince you to overlook problems that deserve attention.
#19
At the reception there is a local tradition for the groomsmen to 'steal the bride', basically they do a quick barhop and come back to continue the reception. My husband was a groomsman, and as more than an hour passed, I finally called him. He said she was having a blast and wouldn't leave. The groom had arrived back after about 30 minutes, laughed it off at first, then relief when she finally blew back in totally smashed. They made it about 2 months after that.
#20
It was my wedding. The groom stopped the entire ceremony (which was held at our place) so he could watch The Simpsons. There was no discussion about this beforehand, he just did it.
No, we are not still married. Shocking, I know.
#21
The father of the bride made a speech about how he saw his daughter ‘organising’ the groom over time. Basically, instead of telling a story of their burgeoning love, it was a tale of how she began to control him over time. Was cringey. Lasted 3 years.
Some wedding moments are hard to forget, especially when they make you wonder whether the couple will make it past their first year of marriage.
Now, Pandas, have you ever witnessed something at a wedding that left you questioning the newlyweds' future together? Tell us what happened in the comments. We'd love to hear your stories!

At my own own wedding, when my wife threw the bride bouquet over her shoulder towards all the single ladies, one of them took a few steps back to take a run up and used the shoulders of some other girls to jump like a quarter back making the final game deciding touchdown.
She literally flew over the other girls, but another girl got the bouquet before she could reach it, which didn’t stop her, she forcible snatched the flowers out of the other girls hands while in mid air, the flowers were ripped apart at that point and a lot of the girls were falling and stumbling to the ground.
She emerged out of this pile of single ladies with a couple of destroyed flowers in her hand, her hair and cloth all over the place and made a lout winning shout out while looking around to find her boyfriend, which had quietly sneaked away while she was going berserk for the bouquet.
It was hilarious and depressing at the same time, her boyfriend ended the relationship shortly after the wedding.
#23
Probably get buried, but the biggest red flag at my own wedding was a guy my wife insisted had to be there. I knew him a little bit but she was adamant about him being there. Turns out she was sleeping with him. Probably 2 days before the wedding, and almost immediately afterwards while I was working to make a few extra dollars for the HM.
#24
The groom's dance with his mother was more intimate than the first dance with the bride.
They even kissed on the lips, were forehead to forehead, and held each other close, swaying to a slow song. The groom nuzzled his mom's neck, and she nuzzled his. It was horrifying to watch.
To make matters worse, the bride looks sooo much like the groom's mom, I got grossed out even more. Literally could be her own daughter! I cannot stress this enough!
It was a 1.7 million dollar wedding too, not sure if this matters. Time will tell!
#25
My father pointed it out to me but groom kept talking about his plans, his career, his life. never once mentioned the bride. She seemed to be waiting patiently to have her existence acknowledged. But the moment never came.
#26
I worked as a county prosecutor. I did a sentencing where the guy was sent to prison for about two years. As I was walking out of the courtroom his girlfriend asked the judge to marry her to her boyfriend, who was going to prison. Judge said she needed a marriage license and there was a two day waiting period (he was basically telling her not to marry the guy).
She pulls out the marriage license. The judge then says you need two witnesses - she was alone. The dude's attorney grabbed me by the arm and enthusiastically volunteered us to be the witnesses. The wedding went through and now I have a story for you.
A side note: the guy was in an orange jumpsuit and was shackled (literally shackled) during the ceremony.
TL;DR. I sentenced man to prison then served as best man in his wedding.
#27
I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and right after the ceremony the bride told me this wasn’t actually a wedding because the groom couldn’t get married as he was still married to someone else. She was 3 months pregnant and was throwing a fake wedding to please her religious family and collect money/gifts. So that was cool. They “divorced” within a year.
#28
At the end of the ceremony she changed into an extremely fancy going-away outfit - tight and purple and laced up down the sides. He changed into an old t-shirt and shorts that reeked of stale student-bachelor sweat and said "Oh, I didn't know we were dressing up." She gave him a look of the purest hatred and disgust. They separated six months later.
#29
Groom was sending texts to a very uninterested bridesmaid all night. Groom was also more interested in getting wasted with his buddies than being with the bride. There were also red flags BEFORE the wedding. No surprise they were divorced in less than a year.
#30
Years ago I attended a wedding and reception of a friend and neighbor. At the reception the bride started crying. Not happy tears either, long, heart felt sobs. Ten months later she had a baby and the next month he beat her up so bad she passed out on the front lawn.
Her ex who was a big, big guy and father of her first two children came over their house and dragged the new husband out by his hair and beat him on the front lawn. New hubby left town and she divorced him right after that. Then we found out his first wife divorced him for beating her up too.
#31
Went to a wedding for one of my older (male) cousins who has two sisters about my age. Apparently the bride talked to the oldest sister (whom the groom was very close to) and said something like "Just so you know, you're not the most important girl in his life anymore. I am."
Can't wait to see how this one plays out.
#32
The groom wanted to delay the wedding so they could do a last minute Taco Bell run.
They were divorced within 18 months.
#33
Attended a very big, very religious wedding of a 21-year-old bride and a 22-year-old groom. They lied about where they met (it was on Tinder). During a round of truth or dare with the groom and his members of the wedding party the night before, he admitted his biggest love language is touch, but that his SO hated to express affection physically. All he wanted was to be cuddled sometimes, and she’d refuse.
He said he hoped it got better after they were married.
All the groomsmen made frantic eye contact and changed the subject.
They’re still married, as of a year later but PSA, guys: nothing “gets better” after you get married. That’s still your partner, that’s still your relationship.
Edit: religion is almost certainly not the determining factor for her preferences. And I know relationships where there is compromise can still work, but marriage does not inherently “fix” an aspect of your partner you are unhappy with, that’s all.
#34
Older guy marrying a young Eastern European. The groom's friend said at the reception "This party is great. I hope I get invited to the one next year." The guy had been married a few times before.
#36
Processional music was "Options" by Pedro the Lion.
"I could never divorce you
Without a good reason.
And though I may never have to
It's good to have options.
But for now, I need you.
But for now, I want you.
But for now, I'll hold you".
That marriage lasted a year and a half.
#38
There was a part of the ceremony where the bride and groom were kneeling at the altar. On the bottom of the groom’s shoes were two pieces of tape that read “HELP” and “ME” on them.
Never was clear whether he put them there or was pranked by his groomsmen, but it felt like an omen. They lasted less than a year.
#39
The bride-to-be of my friend would not let him participate in the entire bachelor party. It wasn't even a risqué itinerary: more of just a guy's night with drinking and poker and such. So we essentially had his stag without him.
#40
My dad got drunk and made out with a bridesmaid at his reception. my parents never got divorced....
#41
I come from a very large Indian family, portions of which still strongly believe in "traditional marriage" (read: child brides, forced marriage, uncle/niece marriages).
There was one where the groom was clearly a horrible person but she was still forced to marry him. To no ones surprise the marriage ended in a horrible, long, drawn out divorce. Her parents still haven't forgiven her for divorcing him.
In another case, a woman in the family eventually found the guy of her dreams and wanted to marry him (love marriage - and he's a good guy). However, as her older brother was unmarried, she was not allowed to marry until he did first.
So their parents forced him to marry an emotionally manipulative girl, which he clearly understood she was prior to getting married. He went thru with it anyway on the pretext that he was ok "sacrificing" his life for the sake of his sister. Within 2 years they were divorced. He eventually married again, for love, but got divorced. He is now preparing to marry for the 3rd time, again at the behest of his family because "it's not ok" for the older brother to be single while the younger sister is married.
#42
It was a small, intimate wedding and the couple just played music on a stereo instead of hiring a DJ/utilising a sound system.
He had made a "mixtape" CD and wanted to play it at the reception. She patted his arm and said, Oh sweetie, no one but you wants to hear that". They were divorced within a year of the wedding.
#43
One bride, S was a huge hip hop fan. Before she got married, her whole life was hip hop, be it music, dance, or street style. Her (now ex) wife, A, liked country, so they had an entirely country themed wedding. Like in a barn with boots and burlap and camo. There was nothing of S in their wedding. Not even her family, who didnt approve of A.
#44
The bride didn't look happy to be walking down the aisle. She was smiling but it was very much a pasted on smile that I assumed was because she was nervous. Found out at the wedding that her parents had offered to pay for the big wedding or pay for a small wedding then give them the money for a down payment for a house. She wanted the wedding. Where we live the housing market is insanely competitive and this was at the peak of the housing prices right before the crash. Her parents basically offered her the ability to jump start their lives together, she turned it down for the big party with her as the center of attention.
It was over within 2 years. She didn't even seem upset about it.
#45
At my brothers first wedding his fiancés dad came into the room we were using to get ready and told my brother that if he wanted to leave that he would take care of all the people inside and he wouldn't even be mad.
My brother did it anyway. Divorced 4 months later.
#46
It was at the rehearsal dinner, the night before. Bride was drunk and crying in the car because he had some other girl's phone number in his wallet. Still got marro, divorced within a year.
#47
It was a dual wedding. That’s right folks, TWO sets of my friends got married at the same time; I thought it was freaking stupid and neither marriage would last two years.
I was right.
#48
My friend got married to his baby mama after their kid was a few years old. At their wedding it was a good reception and the bride was a great wing woman so a bridesmaid and I left to have a party of our own. Not great and that's a different story.
We came back and joined the after party and everybody was feeling pretty good. Well soon enough the bride was sitting at the bar by me and starts making comments and getting pretty grabby. I try to get away, it's awkward, so I wave my buddy the groom over and tell him what's up and he should probably get her out of there. She tells him she just wanted to feel my privates but I wouldn't let her. They proceed to get in a fight.
Years later they're still together. No way she's been faithful but not my problem. He refuses to see it. Wish him the best of luck.
#49
The wedding is happening tomorrow. They have known eahcother for 4 months. He speaks almost zero English and is in The country illegally. She is pregnant with his baby. This is her third time literally in this exact situation.
I'm going for the drama. Mostly.
UPDATE: What a circus that was. I feel a bad spilling the juice on this, but here is what happened...
So her parents didn't come - her mom allegedly told her she's a fool and I guess they're done with this. All the guests, including myself, seemed like random invites to fill seats. She put the wedding together herself and it was falling apart everywhere.
The limo driver hadn't been paid. The room for the party afterwards wasn't ready and she invited more people than the host could allow, and people were being turned away/encouraged to leave early.
The groom read a speech written by the bride in very very broken and incoherent English. We didn't know what he was saying. He didn't know what he was saying. She was visibly annoyed with everyone and with the groom nearly the whole time. The lady officiating the wedding seemed the most stable one there, and deserves an award for keeping her stuff together.
#50
This is completely different, but a few friends thought it was a red flag.
My wife stopped me before our wedding and made me take off my socks and shoes and my suit jacket. She then rolled up my sleeves and my pants and unbuttoned my shirt and said something like "I'm marrying a hippy lumberjack, not a darn business man." She was a little tipsy, as was I. It wasn't a very traditional wedding.
She is amazing and I love her. You could just picture Nana's face as I walked down the aisle with a wide open shirt. I think she took it better than her grandparents though.
#51
Older couple 50’s. Bride never married. Groom divorced with three kids. I was their wedding photographer. The brides grandma told “oh gosh! (Brides mom) went all out on this wedding! You know we never thought (bride) would marry.” Then rolled her eyes. Bride never smiled the whole day. The groom was completely drunk. After she got drunk they made out and it was horrid.
Before I could finish their photos I found out the bride had been having an “affair” with a guy in the prison she worked at.
#52
I met my friend’s to be wife AT the wedding. Never even heard of her before that day. She did several weird “I’m getting a bad vibe” things, but the only one I really remember was her constantly facing the emblems on the champagne glasses in the same direction for the photographer, instead of enjoying her time or paying attention to anything else at the reception.
They divorced six months later.
#53
I have redneck cousins.
I went to one of their weddings. Jello shots at the altar & the groom was wearing a flannel, which he tore off to jump in my grandparent’s pool. Bride was wearing her classiest tank top & had a King Cobra in her hands for half the afterparty.
My cousin (the bride) told me that she only said yes because she couldn’t see herself getting anyone better.
About a year later and they’re still married. If they’re happy they’re happy, so I won’t judge.
#54
Wasn't at the wedding, but the bachelorette party beach weekend. She fully acknowledged that she had confessed to cheating on her fiance, he would be so hurt if he found out she cheated again, and she would absolutely never do anything to hurt him like that a second time, etc. Proceeded to disappear into a random car, to drunkenly make out with a random drunk dude. I know there's a whole thing about bachelor/bachelorette parties and infidelity, but to call attention to how it'd be extremely effed up to do that again, and then proceed to do the thing she swore she would never do...again...that seems extra special.
#55
Groom hated the bride’s family, groom’s family didn’t approve of the bride. Very awkward at a wedding! Bride makes her promises (something along the lines of “I promise to try and be worthy of your family” etc) and we all raise eyebrows at each other. Groom’s speech is all about how much he has helped his bride change for the better and how he ‘made her what she is’. Eyebrows are practically falling off the top of my head at this point.
It’s been a few months so I guess we will wait and see...I just thought it was very controlling.
#56
Bride and groom secretly marry, tell NO ONE because their relationship would cost him his job. They have a wedding 1 year later, about a month after she graduated (College, not high school). While at the reception we were playing a “counting game” which consisted of “How many groomsmen has the bride slept with?” Which was all 8 of them. The groom had slept with 3 of the bridesmaids so there was that too. Then we started the betting pool at the reception (which only played country music and served grits 3 ways with beer). I won the bet though, lasted 6 months after the ceremony. Which isn’t too surprising when the bride went home with the guitarist from the band playing at the reception instead of with the groom.
#57
I'm at a poker table, Las Vegas, Labor Day Weekend. It's late Saturday night.
Next to me, lady, mid 20's, naturally pretty country girl. She's a decent poker player, having a good time. Had a second rum and coke, is done with alcohol and is now drinking diet Red Bulls.
Next to her, dude, mid 20's, in good shape, rough around the edges. He's a decent poker player, but he's drinking nothing but Jack and rocks, and he's getting loud. For reasons I no longer remember, I assume he works in construction.
It's about 11PM now, and these two have been married about 3-4 hours at this point.
She has a bad hand, doesn't matter, she's gone from pretty good, to breaking even for the night. He's dropped about $3-400 now, and I notice that a couple of players are keying in on him now.
12AM: He's getting louder, gets warned for swearing at the table. Everybody at the table is hoping to get a piece of his money when he starts going crazy.
1AM: He's down $1000 now. They are going to play all night. Their plane leaves in 10 hours, and they have no room at any hotel.
2AM: She's up $100, and is rock solid. She's gone from chatty to super-quiet. Hubbie is all over the place, and is dropping about $200 an hour to the table at this point.
3AM: I leave the table. I can't help wondering what possesses a 'solid 8+ of a woman' to marry this pathetic drunken mess of a boy. I can't imagine a world where he didn't do something bad that night, that she had to clean up.
And, looking back, I can't imagine a world where he doesn't do something bad, that she has to clean up, every few days.
#58
At the reception my grandad stood up for the toast and said 'here's to the next one'. It was his 4th marriage and no, it didn't last!
#59
At a wedding, the bride marrying this handsome guy often described as the "total package". My dad, a psychologist, sitting next to me, leans over and whispers in my ear: "he's gay". Groom came out of the closet one year later, they divorced.
Tl;Dr: My dad has amazing gaydar.
#60
Groom smashed cake into bride’s face and we could tell she was furious. Spoke to boundaries, respect and lack of communication. They didn’t last a year.
#61
Groom had a tendency to call the bride names and turn it into a "joke" when she would get upset.
At the ceremony, the bride was so nervous she dropped the ring (by accident), the groom loudly said "You stupid cow!"
The father of the bride (who had a few drinks) shouted "Enough!" and punched the groom.
The did not proceed with the wedding.
#62
He said, kind of gritting his teeth and under his breath, "look at me right now" during the ceremony. Bride was avoiding eye contact with him and she was super anxious during the vows. It was embarrassing him I think. I hated him and am glad she left that.
#63
As I was hugging the father of the bride goodbye at the end of the evening, I told him it was a lovely wedding. He said in my ear, "well, we'll see how long it lasts."
It lasted about 8 months.
#64
Groom’s Mother was caught on the reception video saying she wished he had married that tall, beautiful blonde instead. That woman made my sister’s life hell and her husband let her get away with it.
#65
The bride treated the event as her own personal photo op more than an actual wedding ceremony.
It was 5 hours long, I think they spent 90% of it taking pictures in various places around the venue. To the point where we could tell photographers arms were getting tired of holding his camera up.
Plus, it all seemed like the Groom was secondary to everything going on. A solid amount of the pictures were of just her in her dress.
It felt like they never attended their own wedding. Just pictures everywhere.
It was weird.

He had stopped drinking all through the engagement because she told him she wouldn't be with him if he kept it up and he would get mean and violent when he was drunk. Dude was wobbling as she was coming down the aisle and passed out in the bathroom before the first dance. Annulment after 4 months.

Two weeks before the wedding, my coworker was having second thoughts. I was recently married, and she asked me how I handled having cold feet. I told her I didn’t have a single doubt I was doing the right thing. But she could delay the wedding for a while if she was unsure. Her response was concern about the invitations already going out and her mom’s expectation about the wedding happening. I told her not getting married is cheaper than getting divorced. She went thru with it anyway and a year later she got divorced.

Found out she didn't allow him to have any of his family be part of the wedding. Only reason our sister was able to be a bridesmaid was because one dropped out and they were the same size. I'm his only brother, and she wouldn't let him think about including me as one of his groomsmen but encouraged him to ask our ex-brother in law (who was obsessive and mean with our other sister after their divorce). Yeah a year in and he's talking about divorce, lasted longer than any of us expected.

The bride did not smile, neither during the ceremony nor during the reception. She never cracked a smile.
