Something Seemed Off
The first warning sign happened before the wedding when my childhood friend introduced her new fiancé to our friend group. He failed to speak to anyone and had his eyes on his phone the whole night.
Then during the wedding ceremony, our friend, who normally wears her heart on her sleeve and cries at the drop of a hat, was oddly unemotional, even through both of their personalized vows.
She kept one eye on the camera and seemed to just be posing the whole time. The couple also had the groom’s family’s Priest officiating the wedding—and I still can’t believe what he said.
This Priest recited a long monologue during the ceremony about how the bride’s life’s purpose now was to make her husband happy and support him by staying home and being a dutiful wife.
This definitely hit a sour note, as the bride was the bread-winner at that time, and was helping to support both him and his parents.
But when I spoke to his parents during the reception, they were gushing praises about what the priest had had to say. The marriage lasted about three months. Story credit: Reddit / this-will-be-gone
