Weddings tend to bring out a lot of big emotions, screaming, crying, laughter, joy, and tears. But if there are, perhaps a few too many tears at a wedding, perhaps something is up.

Guests, wedding planners, photographers, and many others all shared the things they have found to be signs of a marriage already on the rocks. So get comfortable as you scroll through and be sure to upvote your favorite examples. Comment your own thoughts below.

Couple cutting wedding cake with friends, a moment that made guests think a divorce was coming at the wedding. The violent smashing of cake in the face of a partner who didn’t expect it.

    Couple in traditional attire smiling awkwardly while guests form a tunnel at a wedding, hinting at divorce signs. They have done everything the family wanted but not what they wanted as a couple.

    Bride and groom standing under floral arch at outdoor wedding, capturing moments that hint at possible divorce signs. Snarky jabs being included in the wedding vows. “I can’t believe I got stuck with someone who leaves the toilet seat up” etc just reeks of poor communication and resentment, not quirkiness

    Man in a suit looking stressed by a window, illustrating moments that made people think a divorce was coming at weddings My cousin looked like he was at a funeral when he got married. Never saw him smile except for pictures and it seemed so fake. He got his marriage annulled within 3 weeks. We found out years later that he found out less than an hour before the wedding that his bride-to-be was sleeping around with her ex. My cousin didn't call off the wedding because he felt like he would disappoint everyone who traveled so far to see him.

    Beach wedding ceremony setup with floral decor and guests seated, reflecting moments that made some think a divorce was coming. Older brother had his wedding on a tropical Island and at least 20 of us attended. The morning after the wedding she was seated alone on a beach crying while he was riding Quad bikes with his buddies lol

    Bride and bridesmaids walking on a tree-lined path, a scene reflecting moments that made people think a divorce was coming. The bride or groom trying to scoot away from the other, and avoiding physical contact. I used to work as a DJ and when I saw this I knew the relationship was in trouble. Oh, that and avoiding eye contact with one another. Not a great sign...

    Silhouetted wedding guests in a church with colorful lighting, evoking thoughts of weddings and possible divorce signs. "pranks" on the wedding day. I used to sing in my church choir (a Catholic church at that, marriage is a sacrément and a Big Deal theoretically) and the groom couldn't wait for the pranks to begin - he did the naff "help me!" gag written on the soles of his shoes. We had a bird's eye view from the choir loft. Half the room snickered, the other groaned, and the priest was just 😑.

    Bride in wedding dress writing in a notebook, capturing moments that made people think a divorce was coming. I've observed that a woman who has a "wedding book" ready when she meets a guy, will be married quickly and divorced even faster.

    Bride and groom exchanging wedding rings indoors, a moment that made some think a divorce was coming. The success of a marriage is inversely proportional to how many times the bride says “this is MY day.”

    Bride standing on a car in a flowing dress at a wedding scene, hinting at moments that made people think divorce was coming. The bride cares more about the wedding than the marriage. The groom cares more about getting hammered with his mates than anything else. Any family member openly belittling or insulting their new in-law. Either spouse's ex rocking up uninvited.

    Bride in wedding dress crying while guests interact, highlighting moments that made people think a divorce was coming at weddings. I’ve been to two weddings where the bride cried because the cake wasn’t perfect. Those two marriages are 0 for 2.

    Bride and groom hold hands during outdoor wedding ceremony with guests nearby, hinting at signs of divorce at weddings. I attended a wedding where the ex-girlfriend was invited as a guest. At some point accusations were made of pre-wedding infidelity; and at the reception there was a fight between the aunts of the bride and groom. The groom left the site and I had to go and bring him back to the reception. It was a real mess. Marriage lasted about 2 years.
