What Did He Think Was Going To Happen?

“I went to this wedding and let me tell you, it was like a scene from a movie. Everyone looked stunning, like they were straight out of a magazine. The bride’s dress was to die for, with beautiful lace cascading down. The ceremony went smoothly, until suddenly, the chapel door slammed open. This woman stormed in with intense, wild eyes, fixated on the bride and groom. It was clear she was ready to attack.
Without hesitation, she sprinted down the aisle and unleashed a powerful punch on the groom’s jaw. It was so loud and shocking that everyone gasped in disbelief. The woman clung to him like a second skin, and it took six men to finally separate them. Turns out, she had been involved with the groom for a year and was 4 months pregnant with his child. The groom had been seeing both her and the bride, keeping them in the dark.
As the truth unfolded, the groom tried to defend himself but only made things worse. The bride couldn’t take it anymore and landed a punch on him too. Eventually, the bride’s family intervened and took the groom away to talk. The other woman apologized for the chaos she caused, and the bride thanked her for revealing the truth.
Despite the drama, the reception went ahead as planned, and everyone had a good time discussing the shocking events. The bride managed to get the marriage annulled and didn’t give the groom a second chance. The other woman didn’t reconcile with him either, but they ended up co-parenting their child. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, but in the end, the bride escaped a disastrous marriage.”
He Didn’t Hide His True Colors For Long

“A friend of mine from work recently got married, and get this, she left her husband not even 10 hours after they said ‘I do.’ Talk about a whirlwind romance gone wrong!
Here’s what went down: After the wedding ceremony, they headed to the hotel they had booked for their wedding night. But things took a wild turn during the wedding breakfast when the husband decided to get wasted. I mean, who does that, right? Well, apparently, he did!
To make matters worse, the husband lost control and ended up hitting his newlywed wife. I couldn’t believe it! But guess what? She didn’t waste a single second. She grabbed her bags, said adios to the abusive loser, and walked right out that door.
I must say, it was an excellent decision on her part.”
That’s A Bold Thing To Ask

“There’s this work friend of mine, let’s call her Yessinda (not her real name). She had been married before but divorced her husband due to his infidelity. However, they had a son together. Fast forward five years, Yessinda meets Mike (not his real name) and after two years, they get engaged. Now, here’s where things take a crazy turn.
Just four weeks before the wedding, Yessinda starts having doubts. She questions everything. Her love for Mike, the person she fell in love with, and even her own feelings. She wonders if she’s truly in love with him or if it’s just the idea of being in love. The realization hits her that the only romantic gesture he made throughout their relationship was proposing to her. She also realizes that she doesn’t know much about him because he never shared much about himself. And then there’s the issue of how he interacts with her son, feeling like he just tolerates him.
Feeling overwhelmed, she confides in her mother about her concerns. But her mother dismisses it as cold feet and tells her that ‘all decent women have to be married’ and to think about what people will say as she gets older. Yessinda was 37 at the time.
Despite her doubts, Yessinda goes ahead with the wedding and says ‘I do’ on a Sunday evening. However, the very next day, she calls us ladies at the office. And let me tell you, I was not expecting to hear her whisper these four words on the phone: ‘I made a mistake.’ It turns out her feelings were valid all along.
You won’t believe what Mike says to her when she expresses her regret. He tells her, ‘So can we send your son to live with his father and start our own family? He isn’t my child, and I don’t want to support a child who isn’t mine.’ Can you imagine the blowout this causes in their honeymoon suite? Instead of being blissfully in love, Yessinda is rightfully angry.
In a bold move, she decides to go on the honeymoon with her son and files for divorce while away. Talk about the shortest marriage I know of. Yessinda took a stand for herself and her child, refusing to be in a relationship that doesn’t value and include her son. And honestly, she deserves nothing but respect for making that brave decision.”
They Had To Find Out Eventually

“Firstly, neither the bride nor the groom seemed interested in the wedding planning. Secondly, during every meeting, the best man and maid of honor were always present.
On the day of the wedding, something unexpected happened. The groom was caught with the best man.
Surprisingly, the bride wasn’t angry for the typical reasons. Instead, she exclaimed, ‘I can’t believe you two couldn’t wait until tonight!’
A stunned silence fell over the room. It turns out, both the groom and the best man came from conservative families. They were actually in a relationship with each other. In order to navigate their situation, they had reached an agreement to go ahead with the wedding but live their lives as they wished. This revelation added even more drama to the already eventful day. Eventually, we got the bride, groom, and their respective partners away from the situation.
The following Monday, I looked at my boss and simply said, ‘That was one h*ll of a coming out party, wasn’t it?'”
