    Not me but my friend was at a wedding and when they did the “does anyone here have a reason these two should not be wed” part, the crowd broke out in laughter.

    I was sitting in during the vows ceremony of my own wedding (everyone told me I should get married, and the groom told he would pay for everything).

    When it came to the “do you take thee, to be your loyal wedded…” part, I said “yes”, as per the original plan.

    When it came to his part, the best man came in out of nowhere and asked me to say thank you for this wonderful wedding. I stared at him, but then the groom himself starts going on about how I’m ungrateful for all that he’s done for me, and that without his support there would be no wedding at all.

    I’m dumbfounded, the groom was the one pushing for the wedding beforehand, promising unwavouring support for it and now it’s my fault?

    At this point the groom and his best man, hold hands and declare that the wedding is off, and that they’re off to some russian night club to dance off my toxicity.

    Motherfucker, I didn’t ask for any of this. If I recall, you were marrying me to piss off that night club owner in the first place, and now you’re suddenly best buddies with him and putting the whole wedding on me? Asshole.

    Was a +1 to a friend from when we were in primary (grade) school. It was her cousin getting married. When they walked in for the reception, the groom seemed off. The suit he wore, how he wore it, the whole setup seemed off. My friend was a bridesmaid.

    When finally they could mingle, she came and sat with me and asked me what I thought. I told her something was off. Now, you need to understand, me and my friend are frank with each other and hold no punches.

    She scrutinized the setup and disagreed with me. We agreed to disagree and enjoyed the rest of the party

    The couple divorced 6 months later.

    My mom liked her boyfriend because he was softspoken. During the ceremony he spoke to the officiant instead of her and she realized that his gentle speech pattern was really mumbling. Nice guy and they remained close friends until he passed, but not really romantic.
