OP here. Can you send me the link to the reddit page

I think this was it: https://amp.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/nbaar5/those_who_have_been_to_a_ruined_wedding_what/

That site's a mess.

That very poor form on their part. So they’d accepted?

Over the course of a year people opted out, citing busy work or family reasons.

Some people just told her straight what they really thought of her.

I've heard of a case some years back where two weddings were ruined where both Bride and Groom walked out on their wedding day. The other Bride and Groom were left at the Altars so to speak.

The Bride and Groom that left their weddings married each other!

That reminded me of Shania Twain whose best friend`s husband told her that his wife was banging Twain`s then husband.
Both couples split up and Twain later married the ex-best friend`s husband.

Now there is a lad that traded up if I ever saw one.

I bet that didn't impress her much.

That's exactly the situation my sister is in. She hasn't married him but her ex did marry. They have since split up, but my sister is very happy.

I am guessing the Reddit thing was written by someone that read this thread.

Initially I imagine she felt more like strangling a woman.

I guess that Shania Twain lyrics don't carry the same cultural currency as they used to.

From behind the bar.....

Very run-of-the-mill weddings with a two piece wedding band that had played many times and had a good reputation. One of the guests got up to sing and very unluckily tripped on some wires and went head first towards the keyboard player. Keyboard player managed to grab the keyboard but the guy falling used the stand to break his fall and the arm of the stand went straight into the keyboard player's laptop.

Everyone was fine, however laptop was dead and we all soon realised how much of the music was the backing tracks or whatever else the laptop was doing connected to the keyboard. In fairness to the two lads they tried but is was like watching a balloon deflate, atmosphere was lost. And no disco/ dj as it was also on the laptop. Even their light sequences ran off the laptop.

... I am sure some people had very nice conversations with relatives they have not seen in a while....... ( attempting a positive spin...)

And I doubt they were compensated for the laptop either.

Now that restrictions are easing we'll start to see more hastily arranged weddings while the going is good. Need more fuel for this thread

One wonders how many planned weddings were postponed by covid and then the couple broke up, depriving us of some on the day disasters

You've got to feel sorry for the bride. I guess she married for future financial stability, and maybe she's happy with that, but arranged marriages are something that I'm happy to have in the past in this country.

They seem to work well in some parts of the world.
It would certainly take the stress of the dating game out of your life which has both good and bad aspects.

90% of Indian marriages are arranged and the divorce rate is 1%.

In the US the divorce rate hovers between 40% to 50% for 'love marriages'. The US divorce rate for arranged marriages is 4%.

Maybe the bride didn't do so bad after all.

i'm sure if we looked up the rate of so called Honour Killings in relation to arranged marriages there'd be an interesting correlation too. ...

Fair play to the man who stepped in, took one for the team and made sure the party continued.

I wonder did they get a group of lads together for the throwing the bouquet and he caught it. Little did he know they meant 5 minutes time.

I'd doubt it.

But, anyway, this is supposed to be a fun thread about weddings where people take a dump on the alter while the crazy ex-girlfriend turns up with a baby in her arms and the bride is caught giving the best man a hand-job while he is giving his speech!

There is a difference between arranged marriages and forced marriages

A lot of them won't divorce as it's an insult to the families who arranged the marriage.

Also most women in India are financially dependent on their spouses and are destitute if they leave them, often ending out on the streets or in prostitution. The man tends to get most of the possessions. The woman tends to take the kids with her as she's responsible for them and the kids are only shaming the father if they stay with him.

Attitudes are changing, but it's still a rough spot for a woman.

In similar news, the incidence of sunburn has been shown to correlate strongly with ice-cream sales. The sale of ice-cream should therefore be banned.

odyssey06 · 21-05-2021 4:15pm

Come on folks, you're only allowed talk about arranged marriages in the context of a ruined wedding day... not a ruined marriage.

We want stories where one of the arranged hooks up with a sibling of their bethrothed at the wedding party etc etc

Suppose some ugly ****er would be happy to say he's/was married, no need to put pressure on himself on the likes of tinder etc

I get where you're coming from though

Miss a story or two about a ruined wedding, wouldn't ya.

Witchie · 23-06-2021 10:11am

Feck you. You got me all excited thinking there were some new ones to read.

I realise that now I have done that to others but am so angry I don't care.
