Groom had a tendency to call the bride names and turn it into a "joke" when she would get upset.
At the ceremony, the bride was so nervous she dropped the ring (by accident), the groom loudly said "You stupid cow!"
The father of the bride (who had a few drinks) shouted "Enough!" and punched the groom.
The did not proceed with the wedding.

He said, kind of gritting his teeth and under his breath, "look at me right now" during the ceremony. Bride was avoiding eye contact with him and she was super anxious during the vows. It was embarrassing him I think. I hated him and am glad she left that.

As I was hugging the father of the bride goodbye at the end of the evening, I told him it was a lovely wedding. He said in my ear, "well, we'll see how long it lasts."
It lasted about 8 months.

Groom’s Mother was caught on the reception video saying she wished he had married that tall, beautiful blonde instead. That woman made my sister’s life hell and her husband let her get away with it.

The bride treated the event as her own personal photo op more than an actual wedding ceremony.
It was 5 hours long, I think they spent 90% of it taking pictures in various places around the venue. To the point where we could tell photographers arms were getting tired of holding his camera up.
Plus, it all seemed like the Groom was secondary to everything going on. A solid amount of the pictures were of just her in her dress.
It felt like they never attended their own wedding. Just pictures everywhere.
It was weird.

He had stopped drinking all through the engagement because she told him she wouldn't be with him if he kept it up and he would get mean and violent when he was drunk. Dude was wobbling as she was coming down the aisle and passed out in the bathroom before the first dance. Annulment after 4 months.

Two weeks before the wedding, my coworker was having second thoughts. I was recently married, and she asked me how I handled having cold feet. I told her I didn’t have a single doubt I was doing the right thing. But she could delay the wedding for a while if she was unsure. Her response was concern about the invitations already going out and her mom’s expectation about the wedding happening. I told her not getting married is cheaper than getting divorced. She went thru with it anyway and a year later she got divorced.

Found out she didn't allow him to have any of his family be part of the wedding. Only reason our sister was able to be a bridesmaid was because one dropped out and they were the same size. I'm his only brother, and she wouldn't let him think about including me as one of his groomsmen but encouraged him to ask our ex-brother in law (who was obsessive and mean with our other sister after their divorce). Yeah a year in and he's talking about divorce, lasted longer than any of us expected.

The bride did not smile, neither during the ceremony nor during the reception. She never cracked a smile.
