It should be the most beautiful day of your life, but sometimes life goes just a little differently than you expected — or hoped. Of course, many marriages end in divorce, but sometimes you can see that divorce coming from miles away. For example, when the wedding itself already raised some eyebrows.

On Reddit, anonymous users shared their most terrible anecdotes about weddings, and I don't know whether to cry, laugh — or both.

1. ‘I made the aftermovie and the groom called me a few days after the wedding to ask if I could include footage of him looking at other women.’

2. ‘At a wedding where I was hired as the MC, I did the standard ‘you’re still on time to change your mind, haha!’ bit, after which the groom said with a sour face: ‘it’s already too late.’’

3. ‘No joke: I recognized the groom from Grindr.’

4. ‘It was the groom's third marriage and his best man, his brother, started the speech with: ‘Well, welcome back everyone. Good to see some familiar faces, and some new ones.’’

5. ‘Halfway through the reception, I heard the groom completely losing it. When I went to see what was going on, I saw his two best men throwing the screaming bride into the lake — while she still had her dress and veil on. When she came out, I honestly thought she was going to shoot someone. They didn’t make it six months.’

6. ‘The bride and groom had their first dinner apart because she wasn’t in the mood to have their dinner together at the reception.’

7. ‘When the groom looked at her as if she was the love of his life, and she treated the day as if she was going to her high school prom — they lasted half a year.’

8. ‘The groom didn’t want to participate in the photoshoot after the ceremony because he preferred to drink beer with his friends.’

9. ‘The groom found out that his fiancée was having an affair with her brother's best friend. Her mother knew about it but still wanted her to get married because she had paid for everything. When he had to give a speech, the groom said he knew everything and was going to have the marriage annulled. Then he went on honeymoon with his best friend. Who also had paid for his ex-mother-in-law.’

10. ‘At dinner, every toast from the bride was a different variation of ‘I’m so glad you finally found someone who puts up with all your bullshit.’’

11. ‘The groom told his bride that she couldn’t have cake because she would be too fat. A year later, they were divorced. He was ultimately the one who gained pounds.’
