16 Wild Reasons People Called Off Their Wedding

There are times when calling off a wedding is for the absolute best. One Redditor had a doozy of an engagement and aborted wedding that would put any Lifetime movie to shame. She was 17 and still in high school when she met an Army guy on the internet (See? We’re off to an incredible start already). They immediately fell in love, and when he “loudly proposed at a pizza place,” she ecstatically accepted. 

Then, the red flags started popping up, like the fact that he yelled out his sister’s name during sex. When he went on a spiel about keeping his new fiancée “barefoot and pregnant,” the Redditor’s nonna asked her if she “really loved him or really loved the idea of a wedding,” which prompted her to call it all off. But since the spurned groom had already booked the Justice of the Peace, he didn’t let his appointment go to waste—he somehow found another girl to marry him instead. Lol.

Other Redditors have remembered the times they blew the whistle on a wedding, and each one is a bigger sigh of release than the last.
