‘At a wedding the bride and groom danced separately most of the night. Then when my husband and I left the reception the bride was sitting outside alone in her dress smoking a cigarette. We found out later that the groom caught the bride cheating not long before the wedding and they decided to go ahead with everything anyway. Turns out she was a serial cheater and they were divorced a few years later.’

‘Many moons ago in a small town in the west of Ireland there was quite a large traveller’s wedding and the reception was at the main hotel in the town.

‘The bride’s father had brought the cash to pay for the wedding and put it in the inside pocket of his suit. The money got stolen and there was absolute chaos. While watching back the VHS video footage of the wedding it turns out the groom was caught stealing the money during the father/daughter dance. I believe she was widowed shortly after.’

‘When the groom cried his eyes out to his mom because he got nicked by the bride’s sister’s nail (who was helping him by the way). The groom’s mom marched up to the bride’s parents asking to cancel the wedding because her baby boy cried on his special day.’

‘My cousin overheard a conversation between the bride and (presumably) bridesmaid, where the bridesmaid said something to the effect of “Oh you must be so happy” to which the bride replied “I just did what I had to do”. The marriage only lasted about one or two years.’

‘It was just before the ceremony. I was a little late, walking quickly from the parking lot to the church when the limo carrying the groom and best man arrived. The groom, my friend, saw me, ran over to hug me, he was quite drunk and while hugging me whispered ‘Why couldn’t you be marrying me instead?’!

‘The marriage lasted about a year.’

Some absolute horror stories there, but it’s not all bad…

‘They were only dating less than 6 months before a rushed wedding due to her getting pregnant. Both sets of parents demanded the wedding, and both looked less than thrilled. I figured it wouldn’t last.

‘Their baby has just graduated college with honours, and they are still married. They found complete happiness, and I am still so grateful that I was wrong. They are a wonderful couple and amazing parents.’
