40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans Totally real and legitimate but crazy. Scheduled to get married in 2021. During lockdown, fiancé was out of work and went Q-Anon crazy. Didn’t want his future wife to get vaccinated. She did. That night she woke up to him running a magnet over her body. He said he was seeing if she was chipped or magnetized by vax and was happy that she wasn’t. She asked what he would do if he found it and he said “cut it out of you”. And that was the last straw, thank god. Wedding was couple weeks away at that point and they lost ton of money but she escaped the crazy.

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans The best man said in his speech that he slept with the bride about 2 weeks before the wedding. All hell broke loose. The groom demanded that the marriage be cancelled. It took a few days to get the truth out & for the groom to finally listen. The best man thought it be a great prank. The groom was apologetic to the bride, but she didn’t forgive him. Because he believed in others’ lies & won’t let her talk.

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans I was working in the china and crystal department/bridal registry of a department store while going to school. A few days after 9/11 some people started returning wedding gifts off of the same registry. We assumed it had been called off but it wasn’t until the bride’s angry aunt came in to return her gifts that we got the story. The groom was a pilot who had lost some friends during the attacks and then the airline laid him off. The bride then called off the wedding because she was only with him for the free flights. Aunt said that their entire family was disgusted with the bride and doing their best to support the poor groom.

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans My wife’s cousin (M) fiancée cancelled the wedding because they couldn’t agree on where to put used towels after showering. She would put a wet towel in the hamper after each shower. He couldn’t get past the fact that (a) she was putting wet towels in the hamper, and (b) that she only used the towel once.
Though he is crazy, I’m with him on this one.

I'm allergic to the one my youngest liked and he uses a pump, my husband uses one for sensitive teeth, etc.

we hang up our wet towels to dry, but we also only use them once on our bodies when we take them out of the closet. we use them on the floor after that to step on and pull out a fresh clean one to use on ourselves or we use them around the house to clean up spills then wash them

So he couldn't just tell his fiancee that putting wet towels or wet anything in the hamper would make everything smell moldy and actually make the hamper moldy??? Just slap up a hook in the bathroom and ask her to please hang her towel and reuse it for a few days. I have a family of five....we all hang up our towels after we shower and I wash them all every three or four days. It's ridiculous that she wouldn't change this one little habit for her fiancee.

I got sick on Christmas, I was in the hospital Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the day after. I was alone (my family lived out of state) about 85% of those 3 days. (Aside from nurses and doctors, I had no personal visitors.) He went to Christmas at his family’s house, went to the gym, went and got food, you name it, he did it. Everything except visiting me. I finally went home but was still very ill. He told me on New Years that this isn’t what he signed up for and he didn’t want to take care of me. So it ended because I got sick.

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans I was going to be a guest at a wedding and found out it was canceled 2 weeks before the date. The bride found out that the groom had gotten a significant discount on the price of the venue and she was insanely angry that anything at her wedding cost less than premium.

Keep in mind, this was her dream venue that she had chosen. She was just mad that her fiancé was “cheap”. Or something.

I was never super close to either of them, but the last I heard they never ended up getting married.

Never marry such a stupid and ridiculous person! This is completely unreasonable. She got exactly what she wanted and threw a fit because it cost less than expected? WTF? I once had a friend like that. She was a piece of work. She tried to convince me my husband didn't love me because he had excitedly shared that our favourite restaurant had now a club that would get us one free dinner if we joined and she tried to convince me if he loved me he would always want to pay. This was a constant pattern thorough all of the interactions with her. She would win a tournament but choose a cheap useless price because she already owned the better prices instead of offering the valuable price to a friend who didn't have it and let them buy her something nice in exchange. She'd refuse to accept any gifts if the item had been on sale any time close to her birthday. Horribly egoistical and entitled that one.

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans My friend's former fiancé was a nice dude. Firefighter, easy to talk to, treated her well and got her a nice ring. Every now and then the ring would go missing but he would eventually find it, safe and sound.

She had a good job, too, and was giving him thousands of dollars a month to fix up a house they had bought to live in after they'd gotten married.

Turns out, dude was living two lives or attempting to at the very least: he's married for 10+ years and had two kids, the engagement ring was his wife's and he stole it back every now and then to "find" it for her. There was never a house, he never bought one, and used all the thousands he had been given solely on cocaine.

Needless to say, they cancelled the wedding.

My sister called off her wedding a month or so prior to the scheduled date as she didn't want to have pizza and watch movies every Friday night the rest of their lives. Her fiancé was in charge of Friday night plans: after a long work week, he wanted to unwind with her and their dog. So he's pick up pizza, they'd rent a movie, and just chill.

In hindsight, I think there was either another guy in the picture, or she secretly wanted the attention of calling off her wedding. I've heard her ex is now married with kids. He was awesome and he dodged a bullet.

It's very likely they would have divorced too if they'd married back then. So I'd say this was the best reason to cancel a wedding. It allowed him to mature and commit later. Their failed marriages are not proof 5hat they should have married right away. They're proof they both should have waited and look for each other later

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans My cousin had a dream that her fiance cheated on her. She thought this was a "sign", so went on a deep dive to prove that he was being unfaithful.

She checked his phone, social media, emails, browser history, store receipts, etc. Put a tracker in their shared car. She even went so far as to get a friend to follow him from his work to the pub, sit there all night whilst he had drinks with his colleages, and follow the designated driver back to his home.

There was absolutely no proof he was cheating. There weren't even any inconsistencies with his timetable.

Anyway, the *morning* of the wedding, she paid a "psychic" to turn up and give her a tarot reading whilst getting strapped into her dress. The bloody psychic said a very wishy washy "maybe keep your romantic options open" comment, and my cousin took this as a divine revelation that she shouldn't marry the guy.

So she left. Without telling the groom. Just took off her ring, called an uber, and f****d off with her mum in tow, still wearing her dress.

My uncle and ex aunt called off the wedding because “god told them to wait” a month before the wedding. They lived across the country so my parents had to fly with three children under 10 years old and the tickets were non-refundable. My uncle called my dad with the new date, about 6 months after the original date. Ny mom called him later and when he asked if we would be coming to the wedding she said that she spoke to god and he told her to bring her kids to Disney instead. My parents still joke about it today and my uncle divorced that wife a year or two later. Happy ending though, he married his best friend about a decade later and they are truly perfect for eachother. She really is a wonderful woman and we couldn’t be happier for them.

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans They didn't have enough donations from friends and family.

They set a date, and when they sent out the invitations, they included a line stating invitations returned without the required minimum would not get seated in the hall, another not allowed into the wedding. The bride and groom would make an appearance outside in the parking lot so they could have a chance to congratulate them, though.

They received... $0.00!

Why? Their minimum was $100. $250 if you wanted food. $500 included "cake service." For alcohol $50 got you 6 drink tickets, and I think the cheapest drink was 2 tickets, and some were 10.

I was at the bachelor party when the text came in she was calling off the wedding that was in one week. Because we are super nerds we decided on going to Arcade hopping around LA instead of bar hopping, I drove because I am the sober friend. She was at her Bachelorette party in Vegas at the same with like 8 of her "closest friends". We all meet in the afternoon and drove to the earliest closing arcade, fiance was texting pics of the girls at a Vegas show. He start texting pics back, it was cute. They both kept it up throughout the night.

At about 8pm she stopped, we figured they were at a show where cameras should be away and he kept sending fun pics. At 9:30 he got like 4 long a*s texts in a row while I was driving to a barcade, everyone was a couple beers in for the night as the last place was also a barcade. Turns out after group discussion with the girls she did not want to raise a "child husband" and he would have to give up video games and D&D and get adult hobbies. There was some long explanation that I feel like was being fed to her by her friends. He said they should talk when back and it was not something to figure out that night while they were out having fun. She said agree or no wedding, he said no wedding. An arcade adventure with the guys got his wedding canceled. She was big mad he would not discuss it when she got back and tried to tell him she was drunk and someone else sent the text and she didn't mean it. But man that was a wild ride that night.

Giving an ultimatum ab someone enjoying their hobbies is a huge red flag. Mine is a gamer and it's one of the reasons I love him. I'd never tell him to give up gaming for us to get married. Playing video games, arcade games or table top games isn't childish. Sounds like she allowed her "friends" to ruin a good thing.

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans One of the most absurd reasons I've heard of someone cancelling their marriage was because the groom insisted on wearing a costume from his favorite superhero movie to the wedding. The bride had envisioned a traditional and elegant wedding, but the groom was adamant about walking down the aisle dressed as a fictional character. The disagreement over the costume led to such a heated argument that they eventually called off the wedding entirely.

Left the bride waiting at the altar. Afterwards he tried convincing everyone (especially those of us who wanted our damn money back from him.) He was right and why. The fallout was massive! However it was really a lucky thing for the bride because she has a much better life going on with a far better husband than she would have ever had with the groom. Seriously, he's my cousin and and just been nothing but complete dumpster fire trash since.

I'm quite unclear about this. How did the dream about his mother's teeth falling out cause him to run out on his bride? Feels like two totally unrelated events.

He bought her a ring with "one ring to rule them all" engraved in Elvish.

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans My grandmother cancelled her wedding a day before because he was 30 minutes late picking her up for something. I like to say i got my pettiness from her.

I wonder if it was truly pettiness or a straw that broke the camel's back. Sadly you see very often that some men don't take their partners seriously. They act very dismissive against their needs. I had so many male acquaintances complaining to me that their gfs ditched them for 'something silly'. But when poking a bit more they reluctantly admitted they'd constantly forgotten about things their partner had asked them to do or outright dismissed them without actually telling their partners. And I told them that their gfs didn't ditch them for forgetting to buy milk but for repeatedly making promises they didn't keep, not communicating fairly if they couldn't keep up a commitment or outright lying they would or wouldn't do something while never actually planning to do as they said because they thought it was not important. The worst thing is that they don't understand what they're actually doing although they wouldn't lie or ignore their bosses, colleagues or friends in that way.

My grandmother broke off an engagement because the man was losing his hair. When she was older she told me she wished she stayed with that man instead of marrying my grandfather :/

Sounds like she gave him the chance to find someone who valued him for who he was not how much hair he had.

40 Hilariously Unhinged Reasons People Ended Their Wedding Plans My cousin called it off 3 days in advance because the bride and groom couldn't agree on whether to hyphenate their last names, or use his.

In retrospect, there was a significant class/ culture divide of which that was merely one symptom.
