81 Wedding Moments In Which People Realized That The Marriage Wasn’t Going To Last Long

He told her in front of the wedding party that he didn’t like her dress. They separated less than a year later.

It was an ice storm, but they got married anyway. Leaving the church she fell down the stairs and broke her leg. He went on the honeymoon, she went to the hospital. Think they lasted 6 months.

His thinking, it was all paid for so why not. Dude, not a good look.

At my wedding, one of the groomsmen (who had been married almost two years) gave a super sad speech about how he was glad we had waited a while to get to know each other before we got married. My husband and I are still married, but the groomsman and his ex-wife divorced like two weeks after that speech.

During the wedding it was revealed the mother of the bride was sleeping with the best man and a massive fight erupted. 


The wedding couple divorced like a year later. Oddly the parents of the bride didn't get a divorce. .

The bride had a nice dress on and wasn’t saying much to anyone. The groom was wearing a cowboy hat with jeans and couldn’t stop talking about his new boat which he bought with her money.

They didn’t even make it to a year.

The bride got super drunk the morning of and presumably kept drinking the whole day. She spilled nacho cheese on her dress and stumbled all the way down the aisle. That night, her and the groom were apparently staying at a fancy hotel or something like that. He left to get something, idk, but she apparently locked the door and subsequently blacked out. He wasn't able to get back in the room and was furious.

Probably been about 10 years since then. They now have 3 kids together and are in the process of a very ugly, very messy divorce.

When the groom insisted on driving himself to the wedding venue (which was about an hour away) instead of riding with family or friends. He was 2.5 hours late and blamed it on traffic. We all drove to the same destination from the same city- no traffic at all. He didn’t even leave until an hour and a half after the wedding was supposed to start!! They actually never got married so, very short wedding. Actually pretty long wedding, but no one got married.

The reception is at a country club. The cake cutting is pop side. He puts the cater piece in her mouth. She wipes his face with a piece of cake. He pushes her in the pool, in the deep end. Her brother has to jump in to get her out of the pool. The happy couple are now screaming at each other. The families are screaming at each other. Some guests took their presents home with them.

He showed up covered in scratches and bruises and she had a bite mark on her forehead. They were both hungover and not really on speaking terms lol.

During the speeches at the reception, the father of the groom got up and gave a speech that started with him saying

'When Bob told me he'd met Mary I thought, oh that's a good thing because that means he's not *that way*'

The groom thought it was hilarious (so did I tbh until I realised he was serious) the bride was staring absolute daggers at her now father in law and husband.

Lo and behold it only lasted a few years before ending in tears for all involved.

When the groom got a felony for stealing copper from his job site to help pay for the $30k wedding. Also their wedding colors were hot pink and emerald green, with silver as an accent. In 2011.

ETA: both of their parents thought them getting married was a terrible idea because, according to their reasoning at the time, they were in their early 20s and she was still in college. So they refused to pay for anything until the FOB decided at the last minute to pay for an open bar. In hindsight, I think they were so against it because they also knew they were not well suited for each other AT ALL.

Many years ago. The couple had a unity candle, where they each had a taper and would light one large candle to show they were now one person or something.

The candle.Would.Not.Light.

The bride looked at the priest, who told them to keep trying. The congregation was starting to laugh a little, and then the bride did, and when they finally lit the thing, she laughed so hard she blew it out.

Divorced a year later.

Entered the reception to November Rain. “Nothing lasts forever, and we both know hearts can change 🎶” - done within the year.

They were fighting at the rehearsal dinner. Barely spoke.. their marriage lasted 2 weeks and my husband had to go pick up his friend on a bench by the river cause they went to talk.. she got mad and left him there ..🤦🏻‍♀️.

The groom trying to kiss me in the farewell line on his way out. We had history.

The bride told me at the reception that she almost chose me. I met her the same night my buddy did. Everyone was really drunk, but it was kinda awkward. They got divorced about a dozen years and three kids later.

The groom drunk dialed me about 6 weeks before the wedding, after asking me to be his “best woman” at the wedding and told me, through nearly inaudible slurs, that he always loved me and things would be different if I hadn’t moved away. Um no buddy. They actually postponed the wedding due to a sick parent and eloped. Divorced 2 years later.

I know a groom that cheated on his new wife sometime after the vows and before the reception. It lasted a solid three months.

They left in separate cars after the reception.

The bride sang "Before He Cheats" karaoke, pitch perfect, at the reception.
