"The entire bridal party, including parents of the wedded couple, entering in to a betting pool of how long the marriage would last, at the wedding reception.
IIRC the best man won (price is right rules) at 14 months"
"One where the wedding was all about the groom promoting his band. He even "sang his bride a song" that was literally just him showing off his vocal range with some classic piece. She stood up and joined him on stage half way through and he looked annoyed that he had to share the limelight. They lasted about 2 years (he was sleeping with the other vocalist in the band.)"
"The most beautiful wedding I've been to ended in divorce. Venue was where the groom's father is buried and he cried as he made his vows to the bride there.
Turned out he'd been cheating on her for months and they divorced a while later. Something so repugnant about marrying someone you're cheating on practically over your father's grave. To date it's the only wedding I've been to that ended in divorce."
"He complained she was mean to him throughout their dating life. The day before the wedding all of the groomsmen and the grooms friends told him not to marry the girl. Like straight up.
They lasted less than a year."
"One of my friends got married, afterwards she looked at me, crying, and said " what did I do? ". They were separated by the time the plane landed from their honeymoon. He was a good guy, she was a mess.
The beta fish in the flower centerpieces lasted longer than the marriage."
"When he raised his eyebrows and gave her a knowing look during the “for richer or for poorer” portion of their vows.
For context, he was a newly drafted pro athlete and she was a big fan of his signing bonus "
Try not to get married because once he licked your clit. Get know each other a bit more.
Obviously it was about her husband was a retard and an @$$hole.
Bad analogy. Weddings won't kill you.
But more importantly, many people get married because of dumb@$$ reasons, like religous obligations when pregnant. Or when you don't know each other that well. Or, like a few of the examples above, one is a smeghead, and the other is oblivious.
In short, I wouldn't go skydiving if my instructor and dive partner was an idiot that just drank a bottle of whisky while letting him fold the chutes and I knew I panic when standing on a ladder, let alone up there, because I'm afraid of heights.
I WOULD go skydiving if I knew and trusted my jump buddy and knew I was ready for it. And you can know this if you truly have a good relationship, communicate, use your brain, and try to make it work. Goes both ways obviously.
Weddings won't kill you but an insane spouse can.
- A fun light-hearted dance with the groom followed by a close and slow dance with her male best friend.
Lasted 18 months and now she's living with the "friend"
- An infamous one for me was leaving a venue late one night and as I’m walking to the train I can see the bride down an alley, on her knees with the best man
thats a nightmare
