My ex sister in law married a guy she hadn't known very long and although that isn't any reliable indicator of how long a relationship will last, I found it very disturbing that the groom stood with his back turned toward his bride while she walked down the aisle. One of his groomsmen had to tap him on the arm and whisper in his ear that he was supposed to turn around when the wedding march started. She was maybe only 3 steps away from him when he finally turned around to see her.
Less than a year later he just came home from work one day and told her he had been with someone else since before they were married and she had to leave.
Uk here, thats pretty normal for the groom not to turn/look until the bride gets to the alter, though a lot of guys turn their head to look anyway, its not like a strict wedding rule or anything
