The bride cried her eyes out for the whole evening because the man she had a crush on (not the groom) hadn't turned up as a guest, so hadn't seen her in her pretty dress.
It was awful. She was just sobbing "Mike's not here! He didn't come! I did all this for him!" Fortunately the groom was partying with the guests, so a small circle of friends enclosed the bride and said "oh, she's just tired" a lot.
The marriage limped on for four years, including having a baby. When they split up, Mike left his wife to shack up with bride. That lasted about three weeks, and Mike begged his wife's forgiveness and went home.
(Mike was her boss at work throughout all this, which made matters even more awkward.).
