“‘Till death do us part” is a classic, time-honored wedding vow that, nevertheless, many couples manage to break. After all, divorces are quite common these days, often for good reasons. Not every relationship is a winner and not every partner is loyal. But in most cases, the marriage does at least last a bit of time after the wedding itself.

Someone asked “People who went to a wedding and the couple broke up soon, what happened to them?” and netizens shared their best stories. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts and stories in the comments section below.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding The groom filed for divorce half a year after the wedding, because he "got rid of the depression thanks to [bride] and since he's now healed, he wants to see what life has to offer him."

Took the bride some time to get over it, but she started dating again after three years of healing and is really happy now.

I dated a couple guys like this. The second they were feeling strong and good about themselves again, because of all the normalcy and emotional support I—-I, ME, I—-gave them, they dropped me like a hot potato and went looking for the exact same kind of a*****e people who caused them to be so depressed in the first place. Like addicts looking for d***s the second they’re clean and out of rehab. One even tried to come back to me a few months, and a new depression, later. I didn’t let him inside. I just loudly talked to him in the doorway. “WTF, man? You really expect me to waste my time on you again, just to end up having you dump me AGAIN once you feel good? You’re the fool here, I’m not. Now go away and don’t come around me again” (not verbatim, but the gist of what I said), then I closed the door on him. I am no one’s bottle of happiness they only open when they’re feeling down, then throw away.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding Shortly after the wedding, Bride was in a traumatic 2 vehicle car accident involving multiple family members. Two family members died. Bride was in an induced coma for some time, missing the funerals even. She broke her back, shattered 3/4 of her face, and had several other injuries. A few weeks after she returned home, her new husband told her she needed to get over the accident.

They didn’t last 6 months.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding I was at an Indian wedding. The bride and groom were on stage and the grooms mom came on stage to feed the bride a sweet, some syrup fell on her dress and the bride lost her s**t and started cussing at the grooms mom. The groom got up grabbed his mom and his family as well as the rest of the people that were attending on his side and walked out.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding My sister had a kid with a guy and they decided to get married. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she noticed he was disrespectful and a little controlling. I stupidly told her things like that could be worked through and marriage takes work and compromise from both parties.

The wedding was a mess: two hours behind schedule, the groom had no vows prepared, and they were never legally married. After the wedding, the guy's mask came off and he turned fully abusive and controlling. She tried to make it work, but he had no desire to change, so they ended up splitting after less than a year.

But because they had a kid together, he's still in her life and still trying to control her using the kid and weaponized child protective service check-ups (which turn up nothing). The kid's now 10 and he's picking up all the abusive language and behaviors from his father.

The moral of the story is (as always): if someone shows you who they are, believe them.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding My friend dated an Italian girl for a while. About a year in, durring the pandemic, they had a courthouse wedding so she could stay in country. Afterwards, they had a ceremony in our town, and then one in her hometown in Italy.

A couple months after that, she let her real self slip. Durring an argument, she threatened to slit his throat in his sleep if he did anything to jeopardize their perfect couple image / her pending citizenship. A couple days later, she flew back to italy for work (she was in imports)

He filed for divorce, got a restraining order and his lawyer told immigration, and she was barred from reentry. Also, She apparently really didnt understand his financial situation. His family is 10th generation in our town, which is one of the highest property values in the US, so they are quite wealthy, even if they dont act it.




She apparently didnt understand that most of 'his assets' were really part of the family trust, just allocated to him for management/ use.

She thought she was getting half of their $4M house. And part of the 2M investment account he used to create his buisness. Neither were in his name. She ended up getting a geotracker that barely runs, and like $5k. His uncle who was the lawyer who oversees and whose father created the trusts was his divorce lawyer and saw to that.

He and i recently had dinner, and i brought out a bottle of aperitivo id bought during the wedding in tuscany, and we were joking about how the bottle outlasted the marriage.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding That would be my own wedding, it was arranged and my parents were super confident him and his family were great people. He had a pretty good income, they presented themselves as religious and very educated. Three weeks in and he started making disrespectful comments about my dad and family overall, I separated and knew I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life with a person who couldn't even respect my parents. 


After 8 months of narcissistic abuse during the separation, he turned my whole life upside down and by the time we had divorced, I lost and gained a lot of weight, had severe hairloss, depression, and thought I was going crazy/imagining things he did or said because of the constant gaslighting, failed all my exams and wasted over 6k of my tuition fees because I couldn't focus on my exams so i pretty much failed my whole semester which set me back academically and I ended up taking 2 gap years. I couldn't hold chunks of the previous 24 hours of my memory often because of all the psychological abuse. 


Its been 3 years and im doing a lot better now though, regularly attending therapy, got back into uni and am working part time to support my studies. I look forward to a happier future. 


 Last I heard of him, he got re-married almost instantly but I know karma will get him good one day.  One way or another, God will serve justice and ill just watch his downfall from afar ✌🏻😌.

3 times. All 3 where folks who enter a relationship because they wanted a relationship not because they found a person they loved. Then they went and got married too young because “that’s what you do” after a certain amount of time in a relationship.

Please people, take your time picking your person.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding Bride cheated on the Groom with one of the groomsmen 2 days after the wedding. The groomsman was from out of town and was staying at the couple's house. They did it on the couch while the Groom was asleep.

They divorced immediately. She left halfway across the USA to be with the groomsman without much of a word to anyone due to immense guilt. She didn't even tell her own family; the Groom told them.

Groom was in shambles for months. Seems to be doing better now. Happened in February of this year. 7 years down the drain.

Edit: He found out because the bride was so stricken with guilt that she told him the next day.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding Brides dad and brothers were proud military men. Groom bonded with them initially over his service as well because it was sort of how they defined themselves.

Bride’s family encouraged groom to wear his uniform for the wedding, so he did. All wedding pictures, the Groom in his uniform was prominent.

Found out shortly after wedding, upon being pressured to take out a GI loan for a house, that the groom admitted he was never in the military, and had bought his uniform off e-Bay.

I'm a photographer. I was photographing a wedding and the bride was a NIGHTMARE. Signed a contract outlining exactly what I'd do, what she would receive, etc.

Immediately started demanding extra services, more images (I had already over delivered), images of things that didn't even HAPPEN, nor was the desire for them ever communicated to me so I could set them up.

She tried to get people to bomb all my socials with bad reviews, but apparently nobody else actually likes her either because they just messaged me telling me what she was doing.

She occasionally messaged to demand "all the other photos"and abruptly stopped like four months later. Turns out she was just as ridiculous and demanding with her new husband and he bailed.

Was in the ER at the same time a wedding party came in with multiple stab wounds and various injuries from a brawl. Apparently it was some sort of Romeo and Juliet situation. During the reception, the Bride and Groom's families started outright brawling and trying to k*ll each other. Bride was sobbing by the side of the stabbed groom. Her white dress was splattered in blood and makeup was streaming down her face. Police came in and were interviewing everyone.

I was in for anaphylaxis and was across from the groom's room. My mom was in the waiting room. We compared notes when I was released.

Would love to know more details and if that couple is still together.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding According to my buddy, he just realized they were better off as friends than married so they divorced. It was amicable and totally uninteresting. They haven't kept in touch.

Another friend found out his wife was cheating on him. She went on a trip to visit friends in San Francisco. When he texted her after her plane was due to arrive, she told him "SF is great, I just got there" and it stuck in his mind as weird that she said 'there' instead of 'here'. He already apparently had some suspicions so he reached out to the people she was supposedly visiting and they told him she wasn't there. I guess they were prepared to cover for her only to the extent they didn't actually have to lie. Anyways, this all played out on Facebook back when the posts started with "Your Name is...." so he put "Bob is wondering who his wife is with." It's the reason I joined FB, to follow the drama. Anyways, he's happily remarried with kids.

My best female friend got married pretty quickly to this guy who none of us knew too well. The night of her wedding I had a get together with some of my friends who were at the wedding. During the party my friend shows up but without her husband (which we all thought was strange). She said he went out with some of his friends 🤷. A few months later he hit her and she noped out of that marriage.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding Pre-wedding night, after many drinks and celebration with family and wedding party, everyone returned to their hotel room. Bride & Groom got into an altercation mid-coitus. She was 5'11" and he was 6'4", ex-amatuer baseball player. Bride punched the living daylights out of the Groom while straddling him. Groom takes off in nothing but a towel. My date was the Best Man and the entire wedding party were woken up by family members to go find the Groom to make sure he doesn't off himself.

Groom was found and talked down from the ledge at 6:30am. Everyone knew what happened but no one knew if the wedding was going forward. I was packing my luggage to leave, when I was approached by the mother of the Groom to put makeup on her son to cover his broken nose and bruises around his eyes. They did not take him to the hospital. Bride walked down the aisle like nothing happened and it's her happiest day while he looked like a battered panda with a chipped tooth.

They managed to be married for 9 months....9 longer than we all anticipated.

Before the wreck she was committed to her career and wanted a house and a family. After the wreck she became a hippie, experimenting with d***s and travels the country in a van.

Unclear if it was the concussion/brain injury or the PTSD from the whole ordeal.

I went to a wedding of friends of my husband a long time ago. There was a betting board for how long the relationship would last AT the reception - pretty much everyone, including the grooms parents, bet on a square.

They had been together since high school and university. They were both starting good jobs and were not pregnant.

For them, it appeared as though they were both just doing the "next logical step" in the relationship instead of asking themselves if they really wanted to be together. Lasted less than a year.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding Bride basically immediately started cheating on the groom with their next door neighbor and who knows how many others. She got herself a bachelor pad apartment and moved out insisting they needed to work on the marriage.

We all assume he only ended up filing after a couple months because his family forced the issue once they found out what was happening. Dude was crying about “winning her back” during covid and is now at the *very least* emotionally cheating on his second, current wife with the first wife.

We are all simply waiting for them to blow up their current second marriages and remarry and watch them pretend they’re both not spineless scumbags.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding They married at 18, each to escape overbearing parents and home life. Her parents were helicopter parents obsessed with their kid doing everything ‘first’ in their extended family. His family were extremely religious and abusive. ( the woman in this scenario is an extended family member)

After getting married he enlisted in the military, signing a multi year contract without telling her about it until the night before he shipped out for basic training.

She wanted to divorce right away but her parents were too ashamed to have her divorce only 2 months after the marriage. So they convinced her to stick it out for another year before they filed for divorce anyways.

Ex wife divorced me for the guy she cheated with, married him the day our divorce was final, 4 months later, called me to come pick up our son as they were having a tift, and he wanted to leave, called me again before we made it back home begging me to come stay with me, I said no, but my son said

“Dad, please let mom come over, at least till she can find a hotel or somethin”

So I agreed to allow her to hang out for a bit, she gets there, and with in 30 minutes of her arrival, her current husband shows up, and starts being a d**k immediately, I very politely told him

“Bruh, you gunna have to take your a*s away from my house, I’m only doing this cus my boy wanted me to, don’t get hurt over her f****n around,”

He respects my statement, and does as I requested, she leaves like 3 hours later to go to a hotel somewhere, and the next morning her divorce paperwork was served to my door, it was odd telling the sheriffs deputy she wasn’t here and I dunno where she went, and having him not believe me.

I went to a wedding for one of my wife's cousins and immediately noticed that she had nothing but contempt for the groom. Full on eye rolling, cold shoulder, disdain. Everyone could feel it. Their body language was that of two co-workers who don't like each other somehow being forced into this marriage. I just can't imagine why you'd go forward with it in those circumstances.

And yes they were divorced within six months.

Could have been an argument that day. A friend showed up at the church ready to kill her stb husband. He & his family all left for the church as she was getting ready - and they took every single car. This was before cell phones. She had to call & wait for one of the 3(?) taxis in town. But they lasted over 30 years until cancer got her.

Groom was my cousin. They had been together for almost a decade, he had a stroke very young. That prompted the wedding. 


Then the complications came - he had seizures. Her world  continued to expand, his shrank. They didn't make it to their 2nd wedding anniversary. .

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding Bride wanted an open relationship, ended up falling in love with someone else and the marriage fell apart. Come to find out after the fact that this had been brewing before the wedding, but she didn't call it off because her dad was paying for it and flying across the country so she felt pressured to follow through (which was super s****y to do imo). My understanding is that she actually left the wedding with the bf instead of her new husband, and they got divorced soon after.


I always felt really bad for the husband, he was a nice guy and got blindsided by the whole thing. Without going into too much detail since I think they are on Reddit, the vibes at the wedding were definitely off, but I didn't know why until months later.

I used to work in a photolab that offered ( at a premium ) hand printed photos and enlargements .no automated printers just me and a real nice enlarger.

we noticed one day when we were calling our late pickups that a wedding set that had been paid for 6 months eariler had not been picked up.

we called the bride and left a message and she came by the next day and had us toss them in the garbage as the marriage lasted six weeks.

they paid twenty five hundred dollars for the photograper and a big wedding proof print package oops.

it was nice to get the drawer space back again i guess.

They were college sweethearts. Turns out, he was abusive the entire time, but he really ramped it up after the wedding.

Abusers usually do when they think they have them trapped.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding Groom told the bride 3 weeks after the wedding that she should find a boyfriend for her emotional needs. He’s actually poly (been together for 3 years prior and never said anything) and wanted to sleep with her friends. Then named three of her friends that he wanted to f**k. He was a s**t person, nepo baby, and left the country to travel after she kicked him out. Took a while to get a divorce since he never showed up to court (out of the country / state) or said “he didn’t want a divorce and he still loved her.”.

I was invited to the first wedding between two friends that ended up getting canceled because they broke up a few days before the wedding. A few days later they got back together and rescheduled the wedding ceremony a few weeks later but on a significantly smaller scale. I didn’t go to the rescheduled second wedding because our mutual friend informed me a few days before that they just filed for divorce. Apparently they just went down to city hall and got married by a justice of the peace on a whim. The smaller “wedding ceremony” was just going to be a get together for friends but they broke up again and filed for divorce before anything could happen.

He went crazy. Unfortunately, they got married right as he was losing his mind. They never turned in the paperwork. But she actually tried to stick it out with him for a couple years but he was in prison most of that time. He was back 3 months before she finally just had to bail. Mental illness is rough.

Question, since I am not from the USA. If they don’t file the wedding papers are they still officially married?

It was a few yrs after the wedding. They were running a pub together.. she rang to see where he was, "finishing up here in the bar, home soon".... her reply "I'm in the bar," he was cheating on her with his best mate (allegedly...).. but they separated and are now divorced and she is remarried.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding My husband and I were both wedding party members for one of his high school friends. He worked a construction job away from home for several days at a time, she had an admin job. I think she got lonely, so she joined a local "therapy" group that 100% turned out to be a cult.

She quit her job, stopped taking care of the home, and started taking long weekend trips with this group to go do copious amounts of shrooms in the woods. They're going through a divorce now, and it seems like she's getting the house and her parents are paying all her bills.

It's honestly wild. I've tried reaching out to her, we chat for a bit but whenever I ask about meeting up she totally ghosts me for months at a time.

“Divorced Immediately”: 30 Marriages That Fell Apart Right After The Wedding Went to a friend's wedding and he found out a few days later that she was hooking up with a guy at her job. Lucky for him they didn't turn in any of their legal marriage paperwork yet, so it really wasn't as big of a deal as it could've been.

He had side chicks in almost every major city and state. They should have never gotten married because she was an emotional wreck and he was a d**k.

Turned out the groom not only had been cheating on his bride but had done so while they were dating, and the woman (or at least one of them) was apparently at the wedding. I think they split up within a few months. I knew both of them but have never spoken a word to him since.

I was asked to take some photos at a wedding - not the ‘official photos type’ but just atmosphere stuff. Didn’t know the couple that well. They had been together a good few years. Wedding was expensive - everything the bride wanted. I’m at best a hobby photographer but I got some good photos. I was really happy with the results and was processing them through photoshop- put best ones on a CD to send to the happy couple only to find out that they had decided to divorce. She wanted kids, he didn’t - deal breaker.

Do some people even plan their future together before getting married?

He enlisted in the military, they got married, they announced that they were pregnant, and they broke up... All in less than a year. I don't really know what happened in that relationship, but I suspect they weren't thinking that far ahead.

They were together seven years before getting married, divorced after a year because they were both constantly cheating on each other.

I'm not sure then what's happening when they were together too. They'd just gotten really good at hiding it.

Was there family pressure to get married? Did her family even know, or were they so far into denial they pressured her hard to find a man and marry him? Was she even aware of her authentic self before saying I do to someone she wasn’t really attracted to? There’s a lot of missing context that’s needed here to really understand before stating any opinion.

Rofl, oh yeah. buddy of mine got married and within 90 days was embroiled in the divorce proceedings. I went to the reception and and was like yeah, naw, this will never work...only because he was bragging about some action he got while engaged. She took the house and everything in it.
