I met my friend’s to be wife AT the wedding. Never even heard of her before that day. She did several weird “I’m getting a bad vibe” things, but the only one I really remember was her constantly facing the emblems on the champagne glasses in the same direction for the photographer, instead of enjoying her time or paying attention to anything else at the reception.
They divorced six months later.

Groom hated the bride’s family, groom’s family didn’t approve of the bride. Very awkward at a wedding! Bride makes her promises (something along the lines of “I promise to try and be worthy of your family” etc) and we all raise eyebrows at each other. Groom’s speech is all about how much he has helped his bride change for the better and how he ‘made her what she is’. Eyebrows are practically falling off the top of my head at this point.
It’s been a few months so I guess we will wait and see...I just thought it was very controlling.

At the reception my grandad stood up for the toast and said 'here's to the next one'. It was his 4th marriage and no, it didn't last!

As I was hugging the father of the bride goodbye at the end of the evening, I told him it was a lovely wedding. He said in my ear, "well, we'll see how long it lasts."
It lasted about 8 months.

Groom’s Mother was caught on the reception video saying she wished he had married that tall, beautiful blonde instead. That woman made my sister’s life hell and her husband let her get away with it.

The bride treated the event as her own personal photo op more than an actual wedding ceremony.
It was 5 hours long, I think they spent 90% of it taking pictures in various places around the venue. To the point where we could tell photographers arms were getting tired of holding his camera up.
Plus, it all seemed like the Groom was secondary to everything going on. A solid amount of the pictures were of just her in her dress.
It felt like they never attended their own wedding. Just pictures everywhere.
It was weird.

He had stopped drinking all through the engagement because she told him she wouldn't be with him if he kept it up and he would get mean and violent when he was drunk. Dude was wobbling as she was coming down the aisle and passed out in the bathroom before the first dance. Annulment after 4 months.

Found out she didn't allow him to have any of his family be part of the wedding. Only reason our sister was able to be a bridesmaid was because one dropped out and they were the same size. I'm his only brother, and she wouldn't let him think about including me as one of his groomsmen but encouraged him to ask our ex-brother in law (who was obsessive and mean with our other sister after their divorce). Yeah a year in and he's talking about divorce, lasted longer than any of us expected.

The bride did not smile, neither during the ceremony nor during the reception. She never cracked a smile.
