Wedding season is upon us, and with it comes all the excitement and preparations for the big day. But sometimes, things don’t go as planned and the wedding turns into a runaway bride situation. This is a topic that has been discussed on Reddit’s r/AskReddit, where users shared their experiences of leaving their partner on the day of the wedding. Let’s take a look at some of the most upvoted replies and see what happened.
The first story comes from u/zzibhai, who shared the experience of their brother’s wedding. Everything seemed normal at the engagement party, but on the day of the wedding, there was a new bride. Same groom, same date, same invite, but a completely different bride. There was no explanation for this sudden change, leaving everyone confused and shocked.
Another user, u/sail_juice_plz, shared the story of their friend who left their partner on the day of the wedding. The reason? The mother-in-law (MIL) was constantly horrible to the bride. At the beginning of the reception, the MIL said some nasty things to the bride, causing her to lose it and end up leaving the wedding. The families got involved, and the bride never spoke to her partner again.
In another story, u/Clean_Awareness shared their experience of postponing their wedding. On the weekend that would have been their wedding, the partner left them alone to spend time with their parents. The parents then posted on Facebook, celebrating their son not getting married to the bride and his “new girlfriend” who he had previously told the bride not to worry about. The bride’s mother saw the posts, and they ended up leaving a letter and the ring on the dining room table.
One user, u/Empkat, shared the story of a “non-wedding” they attended. The groom had found out that the bride had cheated on him that morning, but the family had already spent money on the party. So, they decided to still have the party and tell people when they arrived. It was an awkward and uncomfortable experience, with the groom sitting dejectedly while people tried to cheer him up.
Lastly, u/Suitable_cataclysm shared the story of their cousin’s backyard shotgun wedding. The bride changed her mind because of a fight they had that morning, and the wedding turned into a family hangout. They ended up getting married the next weekend, and they are still together 22 years later with three kids.
These stories show that sometimes, weddings don’t go as planned. But what’s important is how the individuals handle the situation. It takes a lot of courage to walk away from a relationship, especially on the day of the wedding. But in some cases, it’s the best decision for everyone involved.

Let’s spread positivity and understanding, and remember to always put our mental and emotional well-being first.
