    Annual_Reindeer2... I knew someone whose wife cheated on him on the honeymoon, with someone she'd been chatting with online and organised a meetup at the destination. I think it was 2 weeks.
  • 03
    Grouchy-Emu3092 My own, within 3 months. We got married and it was like a complete 180°. Turns out his ex girlfriend reached out to him around the same time and he still had feelings for her. I found out because she messaged me on Facebook with the screenshots of their texts.
  • 04
    He had promised to leave me if she'd get back with him. She agreed, so we divorced. She never got back with him.
  • 05
    wordnerdette I know of one that lasted two weeks (and was actually over before that). High school sweethearts, but the bride tried to back out of the wedding realizing her fiancé was and always had been controlling and emotionally ab ive. Her mom and MIL
  • 06
    convinced her it was just cold feet. She went through with it; on their wedding night he gave her a "this is how it's going to be now that we're married" speech about what he expected her to do/ not do as his wife, and she left that night and didn't come back.

    Luc... The fastest marriage on record lasted just 3 minutes. This happened in Kuwait in 2019 when a couple got divorced immediately after their wedding ceremony because the groom insulted the bride for tripping as they exited the courthouse. The bride demanded an annulment on the spot, and the judge granted it within minutes.
  • 08
    PhantomFairy I was a close friend of the bride. Straight after the ceremony she grabbed me. She was crying her eyes out and said "Mike's not here! Mike didn't come! He didn't see me looking pretty in my dress!" Mike was her work boss who she had a crush on.
  • 09
    Bride hid away in corner on the excuse of being tired. Groom partied with his friends. Bright and groom went on honeymoon, came back separated. Mike left his wife to embark on a two-week affair with the bride, then returned to his wife.

    iwouldhugwonder... I ran into a coworker and her husband the morning after their wedding at the airport on their way to their honeymoon. She was in the restroom and I told the groom congrats on the wedding etc and he said "yeah this one ain't lasting too long" and then just smiled.
  • 11
    About three months later they were divorced but I don't know all the reasons. They both were trainwrecks.
  • 12
    Face-palmJedi About 6 months and she was a nightmare. We'd have a gathering once a month or so to play boardgames or cards. Nothing loud, or obnoxious. She'd go watch tv in their bedroom. There were other couples there, she would make no effort and we joked that she needed the, "please leave by 9" glittery banner whenever we came over.
  • 13
    However, whenever we or another couple would host. He'd show up without her as she'd cancel last minute, "be cause she just can't" tonight. But would blow up his phone every 10 minutes so he couldn't even enjoy himself. Bring me this, bring me that, I'm getting that dizzy thing again, I heard a noise outside, I'm falling asleep but you know I can't sleep when you aren't here.
  • 14
    She wanted a real princess life. Joked about how he owed her an hour massage for letting him have his friends over. You could have heard a pin drop.

    previouslyJayFace Lol, got married. She never moved into the house they bought together. Stayed at her parent's house over an hour away. Filled for divorce a month later. Took a few years to make it official. I seriously don't think they even met in person after the wedding.
  • 32
    A Tyrant My mom and my first stepdad were only married for a handful of weeks. I was pretty young at the time so I'm not fully aware of the details, but I suspect the marriage had been an attempt to "fix" whatever problems they had in their relationship prior to that point, which is basically never going to actually work.

    They eloped to Vegas, and a couple weeks later my mom is explaining what an annulment is to me.

    Justame13 When I was in Iraq someone went on leave and got married. When he came back he turned the paperwork in and learned that getting married in one state does not cancel out getting married in another. So ended up getting charged with bigamy.
  • 35
    Ooops. He hadn't told any of his peers because he was afraid of getting made fun of....

    billyrubin7765 I knew a girl who filed for divorce after three months after she discovered he had used her credit card to sign up for Ashley Madison. I can't remember what the charge was listed as but it was a card she didn't use so she was surprised when she got a bill for the month. That

    intr0v3rt13 After the wedding was over, there's a cultural thingy where bride and groom eats from the same plate, bridegroom ate but bride didn't want to, ended dramatically within the first hour after marriage.
  • 41
    Deezus1229 My own, less than a year. Turns out getting married just because you've been together for 6 years was a bad idea, especially when he still wanted to f other people.
  • 42
    Ok-... My friend's father married the sister of a woman who became famous in a song. It lasted one day. They had been together for 2 years and thought getting married would solve their relationship problems. It didn't.

    Skidchen I used to be a wedding waitress. One was a hot mess. It was a big gypsy wedding, no expense spared. Ice sculptures and video recording etc. we were serving the meal and literally had to stop midway through dessert because something
  • 46
    happened, the bride THREW the ring at the groom and the whole thing was cancelled. We had to go home. But there were so many free desserts so that was cool.
  • 47
    OppositeResponse... A girl I went to high school with had a HUGE beautiful wedding. Her parents were rich and got her everything she wanted. I thought it was strange how she hadn't posted any pictures of her wedding. I only saw pictures by what others were tagging her in. 2 months later she wiped her Facebook clean, changed her last name back
  • 48
    and posted a status that before anyone asks yes she's getting a divorce and she will be leaving all social media. No clue how she's doing now.

    allegro4626 Found out two days after I got married that my ex was having an affair with a coworker. His affair partner emailed me everything as soon as she learned we got married apparently he - promised to leave me and end up with her. I confronted him, he said we should go to couples counseling, I said f no and kicked him out.
  • 51
    He told me it would be embarrassing for me to get divorced so quickly ... but not as embarrassing as it was for him, because she told his boss too, and he got fired. I'm also a lawyer and wrote our pre-nup, so I didn't have to pay the a h le any alimony

    rottenbox Cousins wife's first marriage. Says she was brushing her teeth the first night of her honeymoon and realized she'd made a horrible mistake.
  • 53
    chrisb8346 Before the reception ended. Turns out bride and groom were in an open marriage by her request, bride apparently had fallen for the 3rd party and left the reception with that person instead of the groom. Had doubts before, but had gone through with the wedding because her dad had paid
  • 54
    for it and he was traveling across the country to attend. Overall v. thing to do, the groom is a great guy and didn't deserve it. The bride was a friend of mine but I haven't talked to her since
  • 55
    EDIT: I just remembered how weird the reception was. Bride wore a black dress and only wanted fast songs the whole night, no slow songs
  • 56

  • 57
    LesBonBon My own marriage ended after roughly three months. Ten years together prior to that. I shouldn't have ever married her in the first place, but she insisted/swore she would "do better." She was horrible with money, to the point that
  • 58
    she was making six figures and still constantly overdrafting her checking account. It made life extremely stressful.
  • 59
    Baked Potato_732 Mom's friend left the wedding with her new husband, on the way t the honeymoon he pulled over and asked her to get out (to check a tire I think) and drove off leaving her on the side of the road. I don't think she ever saw him again.
