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.

I had to cancel mine because the dips**t failed to mention he was still married to his second wife.

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.

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.

My Italian uncle cancelled his wedding because the bride's family (not Italian) would not serve lasagna at the wedding reception.

He ended up marrying an Irish woman whose family was okay with serving lasagna at the reception.

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 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.

One of my marines has one that takes the cake. His marriage was cancelled because his spouse's parents had a dream that he would become abusive and an addict. She left him because of her parents dream. He's now a multi millionaire....that's an abusive addict.

A friend of mine cancelled her wedding because her bridesmaids (I being one of them) couldn’t afford to buy the dresses she picked out for us. She called off the whole thing and they ended up breaking up anyway. Glad I didn’t waste my money.

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.

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.

Bride cancelled the wedding a week before because she was a hardcore Disney adult and she was offered a temp job at disney and felt she "couldn't miss the opportunity of her dreams."

One of my friends was engaged and is Catholic. Her husband had to convert and he had a dream where he was in a Catholic Church but not getting married, he was a priest. So he had a vision of becoming a priest and now the wedding is off.

Guy I went to school with called off his engagement when his fiancé admitted she was pregnant with her dad's baby and it was a very consensual situation.

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.

My friend’s brother was supposed to get married in a different country. About 4 weeks before the wedding, he got COVID, and got it pretty bad: he was hospitalized. As a result, he couldn’t travel and it was starting to look like he might not make the wedding, but unclear.

The bride and/or bride’s family was miffed at this and supposedly said, if he wanted to he would.

And the whole wedding got called off.

My mom was engaged to be married to her high school sweetheart, let's call him Bob. Bob went to her doorstep two weeks before their wedding and told her he had joined the military and wasn't ready for marriage. He flew to Germany the next day. Fast-forward 30 years and two divorces later, my mom was single with five children from two marriages. She runs into her old high school sweetheart Bob. He is also single and recently divorced. They fall in love and have been together ever since. Spoiler Alert: Bob is actually his name.

She found out that he had a birth mark in a place that she didn't like.

The dude was living a double life. Had a whole another family in a different state and said he traveled for work, but was actually going back and forth between family and fiancé.

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.
