Marriage Mishaps
by Cheryl Lakes
Phoebe, Dallas, Texas – “In the last five years, I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on wedding gifts, bridesmaid’s dresses, rehearsal suits, etc, and not one of the couples who became betrothed before my eyes, is still with their partner. One friend married a man who confessed to her on the eve of the wedding, that he was bi-sexual, and could not commit to fidelity, and she married him anyway. Her excuse was that she didn’t want to be embarrassed at the church by calling the wedding off.”
Tyra, St. Louis, Mo. – “My very successful sister almost got married a few years ago to a man she was crazy about. He led her to believe that she was his soul mate from heaven. However, several members of our family thought she was making a huge mistake because we thought him to be a con man. Two days before the wedding, she showed up on his doorstep unannounced with a surprise gift and overheard him telling his best friend, that he was strictly marrying her for money. She backed down the stairs and immediately called off the wedding. But she never told him why. He ended up begging her to marry him because his family had come from all over the country for the wedding. But she refused.
Kay, Chicago, Ill. – I had a friend who married a college sweetheart from the past, and he killed her a year after they married. The odd thing is that she was advised to call the wedding off when her grandmother told her she’d had a bad dream about him doing her bodily harm. But she wanted so badly to be married. Unfortunately, he shot and killed her in front of her two children seven weeks after they were married beause she was late getting home from work.”
Susan, Baltimore, Md. – “I married a man who drove up to the church drunk with his ex-girlfriend in the car. I hadn’t been able to find him all night, and I guessed where he’d been. We didn’t get married that day, but I married him the next day because I hoped he would change once we married. I also rationalized that if he didn’t love me, he wouldn’t have shown up. But I was wrong. He stayed with me for a month, and then asked for an annulment.”
Gina, Brooklyn, New York. – “My friend, who had been married to what she called, “a wonderful man” committed suicide on New Year’s Eve last year when she caught her husband in bed with an ex-girlfriend. This same woman had plagued their relationship for years, but my friend refused to let go, because she wanted to win, and in the end, she lost big time.”
