Marriage is a memorable occasion with a special place in everyone’s heart. Imagine a wedding getting canceled for silly reasons. That’s the worst nightmare anyone wants. What do you think?
A user asked the forum, “What’s the most absurd reason you’ve heard of someone canceling their marriage?”
Here are the common responses.
BRIDE’S FAMILY DIDN’T SERVE LASAGNA
“My Italian uncle canceled his wedding because the bride’s family (not Italian) would not serve lasagna at the wedding reception.
He later married an Irish woman whose family was okay with serving lasagna at the reception.”
HE HAD A VISION OF BECOMING A PRIEST
“One of my friends was engaged and is Catholic. Her husband had to convert, and he dreamed of being in a Catholic Church but not getting married; he was a priest. So he had a vision of becoming a priest, and now the wedding is off.”
HER FIANCE IS CHEAP
“I was going to be a guest at a wedding and found out it was canceled two weeks before the date. The bride found out that the groom had gotten a significant discount on the venue’s price, and she was furious that anything at her wedding costs less than the premium.
Keep in mind this was her dream venue that she had chosen. She was just mad that her fiancé was ‘cheap.’
I was never super close to either of them, but the last I heard, they never got married.”
THEY DIDN’T LIKE THE DATE
“They realized after everything was planned, invites sent out, and more. That they didn’t like the date, they moved it to 2025 so there wouldn’t be a 4 in their wedding date.”
COULDN’T AGREE ON WHETHER TO HYPHENATE THEIR LAST NAMES OR USE HIS
“My cousin called it off three days in advance because the bride and groom couldn’t agree on whether to hyphenate their last names or use his.
In retrospect, there was a significant class/ culture divide that was merely one symptom.”
SHE WAS OFFERED JOB AT DISNEY
“Bride canceled the wedding a week before because she was a hardcore Disney adult, and she was offered a temporary job at Disney and felt she ‘couldn’t miss the opportunity of her dreams.'”
THEY HAD A BAD DREAM
“One of my marines has one that takes the cake. His marriage was canceled because his spouse’s parents had a dream that he would become abusive and an addict.
She left him because of her parent’s dream. He’s now a multi-millionaire. That’s an abusive addict.”
HE WAS STEALING HER MONEY
“A friend of mine dated a guy for eight years; they were young, it started in high school. I had the wedding all planned and mostly paid for.
A month before the wedding, she found him stealing and gambling with her money. She ended up selling her dress on eBay. She gave the ring back to his best friend, who, it turns out, paid for it.
Then, she eventually married my best friend. They are still happily married 10+ years later with a cute little boy.
Everyone keeps asking: No, they did not use the original ring. I believe they sold it.
She wore that ring for a while before they were supposed to get married. So there were a lot of bad feelings when he (the first guy, figuratively) stabbed her in the back. No way would I, or probably any woman out there, would want to continue wearing it.”
GOD TOLD THEM TO WAIT
“My uncle and ex-aunt called off the wedding because ‘god told them to wait’ a month before the wedding. They lived across the country, so my parents had to fly with three children under ten years old, and the tickets were non-refundable.
My uncle called my dad with the new date, about six months after the original date. My mom called him later, and when he asked if we would be coming to the wedding, she said that she spoke to god, and he told her to bring her kids to Disney instead.
My parents still joke about it today, and my uncle divorced that wife a year or two later. Happy ending, though; he married his best friend about a decade later, and they are truly perfect for each other. She is a wonderful woman, and we couldn’t be happier for them.”
COSTUME ISSUES
“One of the most absurd reasons I’ve heard of someone canceling their marriage was because the groom insisted on wearing a costume from his favorite superhero movie to the wedding.
The bride had envisioned a traditional and elegant wedding, but the groom was adamant about walking down the aisle dressed as a fictional character.
The disagreement over the costume led to such a heated argument that they eventually called off the wedding entirely.”
LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE
“This guy was living a double life; he had a whole other family in a different state. He said he traveled for work back and forth between family and fiance.”
MISUNDERSTANDING A GUY
“One of my former friends called off her wedding because she was convinced the guy was either cheating or would cheat in the future. He wasn’t cheating on her and hasn’t cheated on the woman he married years later.
The former friend found a new man, married, and had kids. The man has cheated on her from the start of their relationship, but she refuses to hear about it.”
THEY COULDN’T AGREE ON WHERE TO PUT THE TOWELS
“My wife’s cousin (M) fiancée canceled the wedding because they couldn’t agree on where to put used towels after showering.
She would put a wet towel in the hamper after each shower. He couldn’t get past the fact that
(a) she was putting wet towels in the hamper and
(b) she only used the towel once.
Though he is crazy, I’m with him on this one.”
THEY DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH DONATION FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY
“They didn’t have enough donations from friends and family. They set a date, and when they sent out the invitations, they included a line stating invitations returned without the required minimum would not get seated in the hall and not allowed into the wedding.
The bride and groom would make an appearance outside in the parking lot so they could have a chance to congratulate them, though.
They received $0.00. Why? Their minimum was $100. $250 if you wanted food. $500 included ‘cake service.’. For alcohol, $50 got you six drink tickets; the cheapest drink was two tickets, and some were 10.”
HE SMACKED ME ACROSS MY FACE
“I was engaged, and we had started paying on the location, and then one time we had a party, and he got drunk and decided to be ‘funny’ he smacked me across my face and pushed me into a fridge all while one of his friends watched him do this and his friend got up and walked out of the room.
So I left him. I didn’t feel like it was an absurd reason, but my family did. It caused a massive fight for years afterward.”
SHE NEVER OPENS HER MAIL
“My friend realized that his girl never opens her mail and just lets it pile up. He said it’s a red flag.”
