To ask if you have ever been to a wedding where someone was "jilted"

[Mammanat222]

Was talking to MIL yesterday and she said she has been to 3 where this has happened.

One was a classic jilt - the bride didn't turn up, the other two there were issues at the ceremony. Fight between bride and groom at one ceremony and bride leaving another ceremony.

Seriously - 3???

Although she did say in her lifetime she has been to well over 100 weddings (receptions, she has been to less ceremonies)

It got me thinking that it can't be that uncommon?

Has anyone been to a wedding where this has happened?

YABU

Catsize - had been itching to post the same...

I have been at a wedding where the bride and groom didn't get married ... Because they had eloped with each other five years before and this was their way of finally telling all their friends and family!

One of our friends called off their wedding about a month before, it was abroad and most of the guests had booked their holidays, they still went on the holiday, the groom did too! 1 year later he is engaged again and his fiancée is pregnant, he's a fast mover!

I am only 28 and have been to about 16 weddings that I can count, 11 in the 5 years since my own wedding so I can easily imagine going to about 50 by the time I'm in my 80's! haha

My Aunt in law was over 2 hours late for her wedding. I was six at the time - 30 years ago. I remember us as kids getting so restless in the Church and eventually everyone went to a pub near the Church. Grooms brother (my uncle) was driving her to the Church which was 1 and a half hours drive from her house. She was getting into the bath as the ceremony should have started.

No mobile phones that time (and most houses didn't have phones either in my area) and my Uncle was going mad - he thought her father must have died, then that she wasn't coming. And the Priest was RAGING.

I swear to God she never batted an eyelid. It is still talked about in our family to this day. Her time keeping never improved either.
