'It was a weird night’: Bride's family wants to have ‘one last family dinner’ the night before the wedding, ditches groom and entire wedding party at Waffle House

When it comes to weddings, it's not just the night of the nuptials that is important. There are several events that happen prior to the big day that include the family and wedding party that are also important, maybe even more so. Why is that? Because it is a true test in seeing if both the family and friend groups can get along for the actual wedding. In the case of this Redditor who was part of her friend's wedding party, the night before the wedding definitely showed some red flags for this couple.

It was a young wedding, both barely even 20 years old, so that's already red flag number one. But then the way the bride's family acted the night before was even more bizarre: Red flag number two. The entire wedding party and both families were gathered. It was close to dinner time, but instead of having the normal rehearsal dinner, the bride's family decided to take a different direction. Since many distant relatives were in town for the first time in a long while, they decided that the night before the wedding was a good time to have "one last family dinner" and that did not include the groom, the groom's family, or any of the wedding party…

So they ditched everyone at the church where they were rehearsing. They left a group of young kids, because due to the age of the couple, the wedding part was also very young, with one car and no idea what to do next. So they just decided to hit the Waffle House. They probably had a great time, because that place rules, especially late at night with a big group of friends. But still, what a bizarre turn of events. The couple apparently divorce on bad terms soon after being married. So, just goes to show you, if your fiancé's family ditches you the night before, that is probably a bad sign…

$The family didn't bring the bride back until after 11pm, when the wedding was at 11am and the bride (with all the bridesmaids) was spending the night at her grandparents' house... an hour's drive away. This whole thing is just a fraction of the weirdness that went into that wedding. And I think that the bride would probably join me in gleefully shaming the whole thing because now, 5 years later, they've been unamicably divorced for longer than they were married in the first place.$
