Planning a wedding is stressful enough as it is, you do not need extra worries on your plate. Sometimes life just happens to throw you a curveball. How well do you know your spouse? Are you sure there are not any skeletons, hidden inside a closet somewhere that have yet to surface? You might be surprised to find out that people can… surprise you. Granted, this article feels a little bit like the trailer of 'Blacklist', Season 1. But I promise you, this is much better than that (no shade).

Scrolling through Reddit, I chanced upon a juicy thread where people wrote the most absurd reasons they had heard of weddings being cancelled. From lasagna, to towels, to leading double lives, these stories were born to amuse. Next up, memes, because everyone loves memes. Which memes? Okay maybe not memes, but amusing tweets. Specifically, for the mothers out there.

Enjoy your weekend, and don't forget to floss.

    Font - NotSureWhatThePlanIs · 15 hr. ago I was going to be a guest at a wedding and found out it was canceled 2 weeks before the date. The bride found out that the groom had gotten a significant discount on the price of the venue and she was insanely angry that anything at her wedding cost less than premium.

    Font - Keep in mind, this was her dream venue that she had chosen. She was just mad that her fiancé was "cheap". Or something. I was never super close to either of them, but the last I heard they never ended up getting married. ↑ 8.1k ↓ Reply Share

    Font - Zenthoor 16 hr. ago My friend's former fiancé was a nice dude. Firefighter, easy to talk to, treated her well and got her a nice ring. Every now and then the ring would go missing but he would eventually find it, safe and sound. She had a good job, too, and was giving him thousands of dollars a month to fix up

Turns out, dude was living two lives or attempting to at the very least: he's married for 10+ years and had two kids, the engagement ring was his wife's and he stole it back every now and then to "find" it for her. There was never a house, he never

    Font - Derroe42 16 hr. ago . My wife's cousin (M) fiancée cancelled the wedding because they couldn't agree on where to put used towels after showering. She would put a wet towel in the hamper after each shower. He couldn't get past the fact that (a) she was putting wet towels in the hamper, and (b) that she only used the towel once. Though he is crazy, I'm with him on this one. 1.9k ↓ Reply Share ●●●

    Font - thefuzzybunny1 - 18 hr. ago My cousin called it off 3 days in advance because the bride and groom couldn't agree on whether to hyphenate their last names, or use his. In retrospect, there was a significant class/culture divide of which that was merely one symptom. Reply Share 5.3k

    Font - Marawal 14 hr. ago They did nothing. They picked a date, sent mails with it to invite people. And then did nothing until a week before said date. Of course they could not rent the venue they wanted nor find another one. They couldn't find caterer, dresses etc on time.

    Font - Her mother got her to cancel the reception hall a week before because she wanted it at her house. Loads of people dropped out, and my brother felt the pressure. I thank the universe that he called it off, I doubt I would have seen him again. Wish he didn't do it on the day though! ✩ 2.9k Reply Share
