Signs your marriage is doomed?

In a reminiscing mood lately, I came across my old wedding album from my first marriage. I should've know it was a mistake:

the florist refused to work with my flowers,

the original banquet hall we chose went bankrupt and closed, the one we went with had been on the news for a killing having taken place there,

my bridal outfit fitting/consultant fell down some stairs at her home and died just weeks before the wedding,

his parents and groomsmen pick a fight with my best friend showing up to the reception,

my godmother laid into my new husband just after that,

my ex-boyfriend (was invited by my sister) gave me his phone numbers,etc. after swigging down a bottle of champagne as I passed his table making my "Thank you" rounds,

new in-laws came up to the bridal suite to take back their monetary gift (because again, my best friend came to the reception, and they don't like her!)



Sooooo...anyone else have similar stories?

Signs your marriage is doomed?
Not as good/bad as yours, gurlfriend, but, my marriage was done righted by a one, Pastor Bob. This is a true story...18 years ago, I married a young and beautiful Swedish girl named 'Vivi'. I was 25, she was 20 and smokin hot. Her middle name was Virginia, I swear. Vivi Virginia...anyone up snuff on what Roman numbers VIVIVI stand for? Yeh, 666...3 kids, 3 men later, nobody has put a stake in her heart yet. I married/divorced the devils daughter and been raising our son since he was 2. He's a good kid though, victem of circumstance
Reply:No not that bad but nothing goes perfect?
Reply:If you were honest with yourself you knew the marriage was doomed before you two even got to the alter. I see it all the time. Flaws and incompatibilities are overlooked because they are so desperate to get married. Friends and family saw all the signs but don't want to say anything. And usually after the divorce is final the parties say "I should have known it wouldn't work out." Well, yes, you should have.

My sister dropped out of college to get with her high school boyfriend who was possessive and verbally abusive. No matter what we said she wouldn't listen (It's my life not yours mentality). Then she wondered what went wrong when he left her for another woman after she had her third child with him.



As far a similar stories I called my wife by the wrong name when we were getting married by a guy who sounded like Elmer Fudd and she broke out in an uncontrollable fit of laughter. 18 years later we are still going strong.
Reply:Wow!



I knew a guy who married a Samoan girl. At the reception, her mother decked her with a right hook.



Believe it or not, they never consumated their marriage even after 6 months, and they finally got divorced.
Reply:My ex- tried to commit suicide the week before our wedding, and I was not sure she would be out of the mental hospital in time. My ex-mother-in-law had lost her prescription to prozac, and borrowed her husband's valium instead, and fell on her face while walking down the aisle, tripped on her gown, and stood up laughing, saying to the photographer, "Did you get a good shot of that one?" My ex-father-in-law got so smashed at the wedding that he began dancing with my mother and was caught on tape pinching her butt. Then he and my ex-mother-in-law stumbled into our hotel room while we were consumating our wedding, and my ex-mother-in-law said, "oh dear, that is not the way you do it." That is about what I can remember.
Reply:he promised not to drink and shows up to our room (at a casino we ran away to get married at), with margaritas at 6 am..the minister couldnt leave because my new drunk husband blabbered for an hour...asked him to write a post dated check cause he gambled it! Got home on the threshhold was a stunned dove..i ended up saving...as a sign from God saying "peace" and husband just wanted another blank check for more booze...it was 4 more years of doomsday...yeah all the signs were there retarded of me...
Reply:We went to the court house. The card did not clear, even though I had made the deposit. He had an emergency blank check in his wallet ( I made him keep there) and they accepted it.
Reply:Whoa honey..



well my marrige has also gone down... but never paid attention to the details..



too hurt to notice..
Reply:Funny...hindsight... I cant say I can top yours. I did get pulled over on the way to the church by the cops in a bad part of town. My sister was driving and honking, being silly. I jumped out in my dress...and a couple of black guys walking down the street started fussing at the cop talking to me. "Let her go man...its her big day...blah blah.." He let us go.....lol We definately were a bunch of Honkys that day in that part of town.lol
Reply:Yeah, many omens were there and I didn't heed the warnings. Its like the air raid siren going off and staying in the open.

Its over, thank God. We do this to remind us never to be that incredibly stupid again.
