Valentine's slay, Engagement-phobic and Love: Today, I got married to the man I love even though my whole family...

By young and dumb - 27/08/2016 06:27 - United States - Trenton

Today, I got married to the man I love even though my whole family told me not to marry him. He got into a drunken fight at our wedding and is now in jail. He apparently won't be getting out any time soon due to charges I didn't know about. FML

Today, I married the love of my life. I was ecstatic until the wedding reception, where my new husband got drunk and started crying about how he'd been "forced" into marrying me. FML

Today, I had to go get my fiancé's car so it wouldn't get impounded after he was arrested at 12 a.m. and charged with a felony. I just got out of prison in March, and we get married next week. FML

Today, my parents informed that the man I am going to marry made the newspaper, on page twelve. He is listed as a fugitive and there is a warrant out for his arrest. FML

Today, during my wedding ceremony, the groom-to-be found it appropriate to blurt out about an ongoing affair with my maid of honor. They got married instead. FML

Lies and slander

By wtf - 31/07/2010 23:31 - United States

Today, I got married. During the reception my husband got drunk and told 200+ people that we met at a dingy bar and that we "totally banged" all night. I don't know what's worse, the fact he embarrassed me in front of everyone I know, or if it was that that was not how we met. Not even close. FML

Scheming

Today, I was supposed to get married. Instead, my sister made up a story about me cheating on my fiancé at the bachelorette party. He bought it and dumped me, despite there being no evidence of this. Turns out it was all a plan because they were secretly seeing each other for months. FML

Today, my husband came home drunk off his ass at 2am. He started crying on my shoulder because he couldn't go home with some beautiful woman who hit on him, because sadly for him, he's married to me. FML

Today, I married my best friend in the whole world at a small romantic venue. By that I mean I married my actual best mate while completely hammered at a drive-through wedding chapel. My fiancée is gonna kill me when she finds out. FML

Today, there was a knock at my door, and I was greeted by a punch to the face. The man was the extremely angry "fiancé" of the girl I've been married to for just over a year. FML

Well good news is, since he got drunk enough on your special day, to be put in jail before you consummated your marriage, you could probably get it annulled quite easily... If he's lied to you about his legal troubles before he's probably not gonna stop any time soon OP. Best of luck to you.

I guess your family had a pretty valid reason for you not to marry him

If you didn't get a chance to consummate your marriage then you can annul it most likely. If not then, urm, happy honeymoon? I'm sorry OP :( I hope your family are supportive of you during this hard time, at least

Honestly it sounds like you've been pretty absent minded in the relationship if he's the type of guy to do this and you didn't pick up on it in the slightest. Next time take your time so you actually know the person you're about to pledge yourself to. Ydi.

Did OP's family not say why to not marry him? That's the only reason I can think of as why OP would still marry him without even looking into it. I can understand following through without looking into him if the only reason they gave was "I don't like him," or "He just gives me a bad feeling." Either way, this really sucks, and I would suggest looking into if you CAN get the marriage annulled, before you get wrapped up in his legal and social trouble causing.

So.. the people that love you the most and have been in your life the longest gave you great advice. You then didn't listen because you value your own personal feelings over logic and reason. Welp. You deserved it, pumpkin. Enjoy your jailbird husband and burnt bridges!
