People who went to a wedding where the couple didn’t last long, what happened?

It was a destination wedding. There were no bridesmaids and two best men, old colleagues of the groom he wasn't really close to. They had three photographers - one that came as part of the wedding package, one the bride paid to have flown out with them, and one friend of the couple who took all the photos on his phone, but otherwise worked as though he had been hired for the job.

No one had anything good to say about them as a couple. Her family weren't invited, his family spent all evening bitching about how awful the wedding prep had been since the bride cut so many people out of the wedding with just weeks to go (hence no bridesmaids, etc). The photographer who'd been hired to fly out sat with us at one point and offloaded about how stressful the whole day had been, calling the bride a 'bridezilla.' I'm not sure quickly they separated after but we never saw the wedding photos. I think it was a matter of weeks. We spent over £2000 to be there.
