29 Times The Bride Or Groom Simply Fled And Left Their Spouse-To-Be At The Altar

I do. It was the day of the wedding and all the friends and family of the bride were called and the family asked for us all to still come to the church and once we all got there the brides parents got up and spoke and they just told us that there was not going to be a wedding and they were very sad for their daughter but still invited everyone to go to the reception hall and enjoy the food and everything. The brides friends had taken her out of town as soon as the groom canceled the wedding.

I was a wedding coordinator at a Catholic church in Manhattan. Our Church was booked for a large wedding party from Connecticut , they told us to expect at least 500 people as the bride and the groom came from large Italian families. When the day of their wedding came, the only people who showed up were members of the grooms side of the family. It was Odd because we had seen the bride the night before at the wedding rehearsal and everything seemed fine. But the next day, the bride and her party were no-shows. The groom tried his best to keep his compsure. In an effort to track down the bride, the groom had his friends and family and myself call anyone who might have a clue as to where she went. Minutes passed, and eventually hours passed. The groom begged me to let the current party stay in hopes that his bride to be would show up. I let his party stay an extra 15 minutes before i had to kick them all out and prepare for the next wedding that afternoon.
We never learned of what happened to the bride. Her absence remains a mystery today.

Around 1999 my uncle got engaged to this woman named Erin who was beautiful, we loved her and she had a son and a big country house. She was blonde, had short hair, and was just gorgeous. She gets pregnant, my uncle speedwalks through the wedding planning, and at the altar she reveals that she was f*****g their gardener and it's his baby and leaves to the other room. He ended up trashing her beloved Jeep in the parking lot with a chair (he's prone to rages) and leaving.

I was about 7 and was a flower girl with my sister for a wedding. It was being held in the garden of a country club in Los Angeles. Well, being as it's Southern California, no one expected bad weather. It began to pour, and the bride requested the wedding be moved indoors. The groom FLIPPED. Went on and on about how he was going to have an outdoor wedding, etc. The argument was so bad that the wedding was called off. I just remember it being really awkward and someone announcing it on the PA system as we all sat in the banquet hall waiting for the rain to let up.

The couple then married a month later in Vegas, but I have no idea how they're doing now. My guess is the groom was really drunk, but who knows?

I'm a bit hazy on the details since I was 8 when this happened, but in 2006 I was attending my first major wedding in the forests of San Francisco(Just north of it). It was my cousin's wedding and she was getting married to this guy she met about 6 months prior. It was definitely an expensive wedding, prior to the ceremony there was practically a circus waiting outside waiting to entertain. Anyway, once the ceremony started they said all the general, common things for a wedding, but once it was the groom's turn to say his vows he just froze all of a sudden. He stood still, staring in his fiance's eyes for 5 minutes and then promptly sprinted down the aisle and into the road. He took a golf cart that happened to be on the grounds and drove off. Apparently he was divorced, but he didn't get over his ex-wife, so he tried to get her back.

It happened to my sister. He lost his bottle and didn't show. He was a turd anyway. I as one of her three brothers joined the other two on a bit of a manhunt but we didnt find him, he was apparently already out of town. My sister didn't really react at first but my father, several thousand out of pocket, wasn't so quiet.

The grooms family, friends and relatives all apologetically and sheepishly melted away as our lot went on for the meal and a drink.

Our father ended up being arrested for basically threatening to wipe out his family over the whole thing a few weeks later and my sister held her head up throughout, came out with her dignity and carried on.

If you're out there Tim, we still haven't forgotten what a cowardly s**t you are.

Yes! My friend's groom-to-be left her at the altar. He took the tickets to Hawaii for their honeymoon and instead went with his brother.

She spent a year dating around before he begged her to take him back, saying that he was wrong. He - a very well-off young lawyer - bought her a huge rock and paid for a lavish wedding and she agreed.

They were married soon after and now have a baby daughter.

Yes! I used to play the harp in weddings. In Chicago, I was playing a wedding that was in a hotel event room (as opposed to a church) and where a judge was officiating. It was a small wedding, maybe 20-30 guests, and the groom didn't show up. The bride had gotten there earlier with her bridal party, and apparently the groom was having an episode of PTSD or something

The sad thing is I have seen this happen twice...once to a bride and once to a Groom.....

Bride: My brothers best friend. She was marrying her "dream boat" but before she was ready to walk down the isle she couldnt find one of her brides maids....and the groom was missing. Long story short the Groom was cheating on her for the last 5 years of their relationship with this girl.....and just up and left. She was crushed and I have never seen anyone cry like that and my brother found the Groom and beat him so bad that the guy was in the hospital for a month.

The bride's parents made the groom pay all the bills...and the grooms parents made him pay all of theirs as well....close to 100,000 doillars from my understanding.

Groom:This one is a long story but ill give you the short version. A highschool friend was marrying his highschool sweet heart (I went to school with them, she was DEF a whore and he knew) yet for some reason they were going to get married. They caught her the night before ina 3 way with 2 guys that she met ON THE NIGHT OF HER BACHLORETTE party....

Needless to say the guy wasnt upset...when she didnt show up he took all of us off to the side and said "im sorry i didnt listen to anyone, lets get hammered"

He took it well but i think he expected it to happen.
