There are a few aspects of a wedding that show things may not be as happy as they seem.
Sometimes marriage just doesn’t work, no matter how much the two parties try.
But according to Reddit user ModernDayCinderella (who has worked at more than 100 weddings) when asked the question “what happened at a wedding that let you know the marriage was going to end in divorce?”, she’s seen all the clues that the happy couple’s future may not last.

ModernDayCinderella says that how the couple cut the cake is a big tell-tale sign.
“During the cake cutting, most brides will say don’t smash the cake in their face (or vice versa). If the other person does it anyway, that’s a huge tell for respect.”
“I know it’s all fun and games, but it’s a big tell to overall feelings.”

Another indication is how the bride and groom deal with the stress of the day.
ModernDayCinderella says: “Fighting at the wedding about petty things. I’ve seen a lot of this. I know weddings are stressful, but you should be able to work through petty small things easily and move on.
“Almost all of my couples will hold grudges for at least the rest of the night, which in turn, ruins their images.
“I have to be the one that tells them, ‘look, I know you’re p****d at each other right now, but for the sake of your lifetime memories, fake that you like each other for the rest of the night.’”

Then there’s the bridezilla – or the groomzilla, as ModernDayCinderella points out.
“If you’re a Bride / Groomzilla then that’s a tell, too. All of my monsters have been absolute control freaks and refuse to let people help them, but then get p****d that nobody helps them.
“This tells me a lot about your personality and a lot of can be seen in your interaction with your significant other.”
Other Reddit users decided to share their own experiences.
One revealed how the bride interacted with her in-laws was a sign.
“They spent $50k on a Disney wedding and the bride spent zero time anywhere near the in-laws for several hours. She ran off a week later.
“This was over 10 years ago. The awful part is that the guy was/is such a wonderful person. He just attracts ‘crazy.’”
Another mentioned one wedding they’ll never forget:
“During the ceremony when the priest started asking the bride ‘Do you take this man to be your…’, she started laughing uncontrollably and couldn’t stop.
“It was cute for about 10 seconds and then things got real uncomfortable. They lasted a year and change. We all kinda knew the only reason they were getting married was because she got pregnant.”
