30 People Share Things They Saw At Weddings That Made Them Think A Divorce Was Coming

Yep, disrespecting boundaries and enjoying humiliation of your partner is not a good start into a marriage. I remember distinctly the report of a guy who smashed his bride's face into the cake and impaled her on a cake support. Then he whined that she had the marriage annulled. They had both agreed to no cake smashing beforehand. What a surprise that a woman doesn't want to be with a man who breaks promises for lolz and sends her to hospital on her wedding day.

Or of a partner who did expect it. Stupid, wasteful, dangerous even, and in no universe anywhere would it be funny.

I absolutely hate this (i refuse to call it a tradition)

Wow. Surprised that this is so high up. If it's 'violent', I suppose. I've never witness it done aggressively. That said, some people are just trying to add a little fun and levity to the event. I've seen it done many times with lots of laughter and payback - with couples that lived happily ever after.

yep narcissists are f*****g insufferable.

I am often reminded of something one of the bridesmaids said about the bride at a wedding I was at: "Someone needs to tell her she's the bride, not the queen."

If the bride said "this is OUR day" that's a little better. A little .....

I had a co-worker who had dreamt of her wedding her entire life. Find a man, convince him to marry her, & this huge perfect wedding. She chose me even though I was already married. She pushed all of the right buttons without being sexual. It was all about that special day & not much more than that. She was attractive & seemed personable. It took her about 20 years of trying to finally hook "a man".

The first two: yes, the last two: it depends on how the spouse reacts

Exactly, It's one of the reasons I don't understand why people spend so much on weddings. I'm not saying mine was cheap by any means, but it wasn't a several tens of thousands on one day job. It wasn't huge, it was just nice, classy, and beautiful. :) As a couple, the money you may have spent on your wedding can be used on much more important things imo.

or invited...

Wow! My cake arrived at our flat and had a fairly large gash in it because of a mishap with delivery. I went "eh, that looks fixable", sent a message to the person who was setting up the party so they could be prepared, and went back to putting on my make up. The cake baker was called April's Baker. Go look them up, their work is GORGEOUS.

my mom and dad’s cake was completely frozen. the baker forgot to take it out of the fridge or something. they still laugh about it today.

My wedding cake was simple like a traditional birthday cake, and I had already ordered a big cake in this bakery previously. It just was ugly. No decorating skills. Even a 12 yo could have done this. I just said 'meh, I know it will be delicious'. It was.

Yes. I was matron of honour for a friend who was absolutely legless when I arrived before the wedding to help her get ready. If the JP who officiated had not been a personal friend of hers, they would not have been allowed to marry with her in that state. Didn’t last very long.

Yep. I attended a wedding that the bride was too drunk to attend the reception. Yep. They are divorced now.

Unless they eloped secretly and now are happy to let the families do whatever they want for the "wedding".

Yep. MIL sometimes want to dictate how the wedding should go, or the reception. Not a fun time dealing with that.

It's also disrespectful to the guests. That's not what they came to hear.

Am I the only one that doesn't care about the toilet seat being left up? I leave it down so what's the difference? Inconvenient either way.

Poor guy :< It had to be devastating finding out too late that his soon to be wife is a hoe.

He should have called it off. Hard as it might have been, I think people would have accepted his reasoning, and it is still way easier than going through a legal divorse afterwards where she can "steal" half of your money/stuff. If he can't face his family on the day, then don't show up and call the "bride" instead.

Better yet, break up with her on the alter, and invite everyone to the reception to celebrate your narrow escape.

Again, no surprise there.

Its a toast not a roast

Maybe the best man and the groom were more than friends.

If one of the spouses can't even make the other the main focus during their honeymoon, and rather goes to a joyride while the partner is crying alone, that's definitely a sure sign the marriage was a mistake.

I guess I fail to see what's so funny.

It seemed funny at the time of the wedding. The best man pulls the groom away from the bride to go fishing & drinking. A fun thing to do at weddings. I've known a couple of women who's husbands did just that in the marriage. Loveless marriages.

Sounds like the marriage was forced/arranged

In France, if you do such jokes you won't be married, church or not church. Consent is taken very seriously, and if you dare answering no as a joke, you'd rather book another wedding (and you'll have to wait for 3 weeks by law).

Those are bandaid weddings. The relationship is already crumbling and the wedding is meant as a fix it. They think that when they get married, everything will change for the better. Sometimes it gets even worse and when the wedding doesn't work they have bandaid kids.

I don't get why so many people get married when they don't want to or to people that don't make them happy. Like, I get there can be other factors (e.g culture and religion), but I mean outside of that.

"I love you" "aww that's so sweet, I love me too!"

Weddings are the quickest way to ruin an already shaky relationship!

It's wild that people do this. Aren't bridesmaids/groomsmen often friends/family? Even if the bride or groom is a pos, I can't imagine doing that to a friend or vice versa.

It seem to happen way to often. How hard can it be to keep your pants on until the wedding night?

:((

"Seen it" as in "know it happened" or....

If only I had realised this before getting married.

*grabs the popcorn*

I would imagine these are the marriages between two people who vow to have their first kiss be their wedding kiss. I will never understand them, but they have a right to exist.

How does an awkward kiss in a room full of people = a divorce coming? Two people who have never had sex before, regardless if it’s their wedding night , will still awkward and weird. Neither of them knows what they are doing.

My husband's mother wore a black dress that made me think of a funeral (with small touches of white fortunately), and the face she made... Happily together for 25 years
