For many, a wedding is one of the happiest days in their lives. It's a time when you're supposed to celebrate the union between yourself and the love of your life.
But some marriages weren't built to last. Some were so doomed from the start, their weddings ended up not happening. People on Reddit shared times they knew there wasn't going to be a wedding before the day of the event.
"Bachelor party in Vegas.. Bachelor hooks up with a girl, gives her his cell phone number so they can continue the party that night.. Bride to be is sitting at home with the iPad getting all of the iMessages from the girl. She canceled the wedding that day."
"Here is a more upbeat story: the night before their city hall wedding, the bride and groom had separate big parties and got so wasted they both slept through the wedding.
"They didn't realize it until city hall called asking where they were, and they decided [expletive] it we'll do it later. They did eventually get married, and still are as far as I know, over 20 years later."
"Hi there, part-time wedding planner here... Bachelorette party turned out to be Homestuck themed, complete with Homestuck male strippers. (Please for the love of Christ DO NOT ASK WHERE I FOUND THOSE.) It got weird and the groom walked in on the bride riding a candy-corn colored horn. Groom noped the [expletive] out."
"My cousin runs a popular upscale marriage venue and always tells the story way better than this so here is a rough overview. The groom's mom was a heavy drinker and got belligerent when she drank so understandably the bride wanted the groom to try to limit her drinking."
"Next thing my cousin knows (she was there to oversee preparations) the bride and groom are in a straight up fist fight which leads to an Anchorman-style street fight between members of both families in the parking lot."
"One of my best friend's wedding was cancelled when he learned she slept with a stripper after her bachelorette party. Like three days after.
"He is happily remarried now with a kid."
"My friend had been with his fiancée of 8 years when she got pregnant. Fast forward 8 months and we decide that because they are basically common law married we need to throw him a bachelor party."
"None of us are in any state to drive... We end up calling a cab and paying over $300 to get him to the hospital as soon as possible."
"I was positive that was the end. They've been Married 7 years and just had their second child last week."
"In the early 90's my friend's brother was getting married. The night before the groom and best man decided they should kill the ex-boyfriend of the bride. They did, they got caught, and the wedding was cancelled - for obvious reasons.
"As far as I know, the two are still serving time."
"A friend of mine apparently came to the realization he never wanted to get married. After the bachelor party and the hangovers he sat down and thought about it, then called his fiancée and broke it off."
The commenter also clarified that they broke things off for good, too. I guess it was better than having to deal with a legal battle later on.
"This happened maybe two weeks ago. The night before the wedding groom ran out, butt naked, down the streets of an apartment complex in Eugene screaming 'I'm not ready.' Long story short.. the wedding was beautiful."
"Not technically on post, but maybe close enough. My mom had a female tenant, engaged to a local guy whom I kind of knew. She's in an out of town bar one night, meets a girl, starts talking."
"'btw, what's his name?' ...This dude was engaged to two girls, both for over two years. Girl #1 calls him up from bar. Invites him down to meet long lost friend. Hilarity ensues. Two weddings are off."
"How about the father of the bride, happily married with kids, sleeping with the Maid of Honor the night before the big day? Yup. That didn't go over to well with the bride."
"The bride walked in on them bangin' boots. Big fight ensued, yada yada, then the Maid of Honor spills the beans that the groom ALSO had slept with her. A few months before.
"Yah. None of that went over well at all."
"Groomsmen go online to look at escorts for their buddy's bachelor party. They find the bride on the site. My barber just told me this today, it all went down in his shop."
"So the couple has been sleeping together for a few years, she gets pregnant, and decide to get married. Months of planning go by and she begins to show.
"Bride's parents wig right the [expletive] out, call her a slut, and forbid her to get married. They cancel the wedding, steal her parent's car to elope, and torch the garage on their way out. It was magnificent."
"This happened to my cousin. Apparently she was having a destination wedding down in the keys. Her fiancé booked the flights for her parents and herself, but 'forgot' his wallet and would take the next flight.
"He never showed up, he never booked the hotel or the restaurant. He checked himself into a mental institution back home."
