20 Weddings And Almost-Got-Married Stories That Didn't Have A Happy Ending
Weddings are hectic. You've got caterers, planners, and people who haven't met or haven't seen each other for who knows how long to gather in one place.
They have so much stuff going on from start to finish that it's hard to keep track of everything. And important details are often overlooked until it comes back and bites you in the butt.
Everyone holds their breath until the bride and groom say 'I do' and all the papers are signed. Because despite what fairytale cartoons sell us, happy endings aren't always possible.
Even if you're already at the wedding. The amount of drama that can happen at weddings takes a nerve-wracking toll for the people involved, especially the ones who are getting married.
There are even TV shows dedicated to following people on their special day from start to finish. But sometimes there isn't a finish line.
In an AskReddit post, a Redditor asked if people have good stories to tell about being to a wedding where the couple didn't end up saying 'I do'. OP was also curious about how guests reacted to the situation.
