15 Brides Share Why They Called Off Their Weddings

12.

“My best friend’s older brother was getting married, and I was invited as my best friend’s ‘dat'” to it. I drive home on Friday for the ceremony the next day. I meet up with my best friend as soon as I get home, and her first words out of her mouth are, ‘So, guess what just happened.’ I correctly guessed that that morning, the wedding had been called off. I don’t quite remember all of the details, but I remember that the groom’s family was very excited about it. When he started dating this woman, things were very normal, and the family loved her. After the proposal, she started showing another side of herself. She was erratic and irrational. She started getting in between the groom and his family.”

“When she and the groom moved in together, the groom’s family bought him this plant as a housewarming gift (he, for some reason, really liked this particular species of plant). His fiancée demanded he get rid of it: “We are starting a life together so everything should be ours; I want all remnants of your former life without me gone.

I think the morning before the wedding, as I’m driving to my hometown, the bride and groom and each one’s family got together for breakfast or something. The bride started an argument with the groom’s mom, being very very disrespectful. The groom defended his mom, and the bride called off the wedding. This argument was over something stupid, too, nothing at all that should affect a relationship.

The best part was that his groomsmen decided to throw him a re-bachelor’s party. They just got completely wasted, had blowup dolls, and random stuff like that. They also ate the top tier of the wedding cake, something that is traditionally reserved for the bride and groom to share. The ex-bride-to-be got super pissed when she saw that on Facebook.”
