These days, half of all marriages will end in divorce. That sounds sad, but after seeing these, maybe it's for the better.

    Text - 1 day ago Siffinstein 11.0k points My cousin's wedding: he was in the Army, his bride was 6 months pregnant, a senior in high school, and she had just turned 18 the previous day. Her grandfather was the officiant and he gave a big speech about how marriage was only between one man and one woman and no one can tear apart what God puts together. They opened their gifts in front of everyone like it was a birthday party. There was no alcohol, dancing, or food. Within 30-40 minutes after the g

    Text - edited 23 hours ago soria1 11.3k points 1 day ago The groom was madly in love with his fiancé (as one would hope), always got the vibe she just wasn't that... into it. During the wedding he was so nervous he stuttered. Bride rolled her eyes and looked pissed. Then later in the night after dinner and music had started, the bride got annoyed people weren't staying in their allocates seats. They had a "wishing well" for presents. We added our anonymous gift with a card and thought that was t

She snapped and turned around, yelling "Do that again and see what happens! He was stonefaced and without saying anything, immediately went to the bar for a beer

    Text - edited 1 day ago giraffewoman 7.8k points 1 day ago Attended a very big, very religious wedding of a 21-year-old bride and a 22-year-old groom. They lied about where they met (it was on Tinder). During a round of truth or dare with the groom and his members of the wedding party the night before, he admitted his biggest love language is touch, but that his SO hated to express affection physically. All he wanted was to be cuddled sometimes, and she'd refuse. He said he hoped it got better a

And now look at her two months later, getting married to a guy she met the next day!" Even her elderly grandmother laughed out loud.

    Text - Medicivich 25.9k points 1 day ago edited 19 hours ago x2 I worked as a county prosecutor. I did a sentencing where the guy was sent to prison for about two years. As I was walking out of the courtroom his girlfriend asked the judge to marry her to her boyfriend, who was going to prison. Judge said she needed a marriage license and there was a two day waiting period (he was basically telling her not to marry the guy). She pulls out the marriage license. The judge then says you need two wit

    Text - cbeeeee 22.1k points 1 day ago I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and right after the ceremony the bride told me this wasn't actually a wedding because the groom couldn't get married as he was still married to someone else. She was 3 months pregnant and was throwing a fake wedding to please her religious family and collect money/gifts. So that was cool. They "divorced" within a year.

    Text - PuddleOfHamster 21.1k points 1 day ago At the end of the ceremony she changed into an extremely fancy going-away outfit - tight and purple and laced up down the sides. He changed into an old t-shirt and shorts that reeked of stale student-bachelor sweat and said "Oh, I didn't know we were dressing up." She gave him a look of the purest hatred and disgust. They separated six months later.

    Text - SeaOkra 17.6k points 1 day ago S The groom forgot the bride's name during his toast to her and called her a similar but very different name. (Like, if her name was Brenda, he called her Brittney.) It lasted two years Oddly the wedding where the bride started labor during the reception is going strong ten years later. It was absolutely a shotgun wedding, her father pretty much told him either man up and marry her, or get out of her life so she could find the kid a real father. The groom wa

    Text - Kraz31 15.9k points 1 day ago Groom was sending texts to a very uninterested bridesmaid all night. Groom was also more interested in getting wasted with his buddies than being with the bride. There were also red flags BEFORE the wedding. No surprise they were divorced in less than a year.
