When is the best time to run from a wedding?

hoodwinked · 21-05-2014 10:14AM #1

Just reading about Rory McIlroy here:
http://www.independent.ie/woman/celeb-news/its-over-rory-mcilroy-ends-engagement-to-caroline-wozniacki-30292782.html and it has made me wonder, when is the best time to get out of it if you aren't happy?

he is being criticized because the invitations went out 3 days ago, but is it better to run now?

or on the morning of the wedding itself?

or have a quiet divorce afterwards?

what would you do?

i know with me i never wanted to run from marrying my husband so luckily have never been in this situation, but if i had to, i'd probably run as soon as i realised i wanted out.

I don't know what I would do but I know someone who called the entire wedding off the night before her wedding for the same reason not ready to get married.

Dave0301 · 21-05-2014 10:18AM

He probably realised how much he would have to shell out if he divorced her a year or two down the road!

Best to end it before the big day, no matter how cruel it seems.

When she walks up the aisle sporting trousers would be a good time

I don't know what I would do but I know someone who called the entire wedding off the night before her wedding for the same reason not ready to get married. But honestly it is better that he called it all off now rather than the night before.

Best to do it as early as possible I think. They are both so young.

Getting married when you are not totally committed would be the worst thing imo

whiskeyman · 21-05-2014 10:21AM

The earlier the better.
It's going to hurt no matter what.
The further it goes on, it's only going to be more emotionally (and financially in many cases!) hurtful!

I heard Ivan Yates this morning in the car talking about that. He was saying he reckoned the pre-nup negotiations broke down irretrievably. When it was pointed out to him that Ms. Wozniacki is a very weathy young lady, he replied that he saw young Rory as more of a giver than a taker. He shoots, he scores yet again - I can actually here the women growling as I type! :pac::pac::pac:

After the invitations go out, you have no choice but to kill all the invited guests.

Leave no witnesses.

Just dont show up on the day! Then everyone can carry on to the reception and have a good night.

Your ex fiance can eat your dinner then, perks of being left at the alter!

Nah, you're alright. Shure he's British anyways - I hear the sons of Ulster marching toward the thread. :pac:

Why not just get married anyway and for the rest of your lives feed of the silent rage of unspeakable hatred borne of the indescribable spite which will surely form between each other?

When she straps on a dildo.

Actual definitive proof that he is British-an Irish man would have went ahead with the wedding and then spent the next twenty years moaning about her down the local with all "the lads".

She rode somebody in work. You have to try and get past it.

Better to do it now obviously. My heart goes out to Caroline though.

RikkFlair · 21-05-2014 10:32AM

The ball's in her court now

More than my heart goes out for her...

When the wedding band start playing the Rains of Castamere.

Scratch that, when she decides she wants to host the wedding in Westeros

Could see it coming, apparently the both of them were fond of swinging.

A Swiss court has awarded £2.6bn in a record-breaking divorce settlement to the former wife of the Russian oligarch who owns AS Monaco football club.

The ruling, dated 13 May but not made public until Monday, deprives billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev of 4bn Swiss francs – half of his immense fortune – in what Elena Rybolovlev's lawyer called "the most expensive divorce in history".

Marc Bonnant said he believed the settlement set an all-time record. "Compared to cases like [the London-based oligarch Boris] Berezovsky, the advantage is that it's an official judgment, not something sneaky behind the scenes."

He probably heard about this divorce when it hit the news last Monday.

Golfer Rory McIlroy has made a £1 million donation to a children’s cancer charity in Northern Ireland.

The donation to the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children (NICFC) will be paid over four years to support the running costs of Daisy Lodge in Newcastle, County Down, which provides free therapeutic breaks to families affected by cancer.

The money will be provided through the Rory Foundation which he set up in 2013 to support children’s charities around the world.

Maybe he was thinking he didn't want to have to "hole in one" for the rest of his life!? Eh? Eh?!

No winners in this whatsoever.

Wrong.

They are both winners.

is it obvious though? from talking with friends some were saying if they were as rich and famous as them, they would rather go through with the wedding to save the public embarrassment and get divorced on the QT afterwards when everyone has moved on.

That is an excellent idea, especially if you and your intended are complete blithering idiots. It's much more efficient to make a huge pile of money in the back garden, then douse it in petrol and set fire to it.
