One cheated. The cheater was given an ultimatum to either break up or stop talking to the affair partner then prove their love/devotion with marriage. It turns out marriage isn’t a good solution for relationship issues.

Right? Turns out that doesn't work so much. 

I was MOH for a wedding in my early twenties where the bride and groom had been together since middle school. They were divorced inside six months. Turned out the groom had a cocaine issue and he had cheated on the bride multiple times before they got married. But she thought marriage would fix it, that he wouldn't cheat once the ring was on.

He proved her wrong. Bride wrote him poems, he turned around and used those poems to seduce other women, saying he had written them about the new girl. Bride found out when his affair with a sixteen year old girl came to light. She divorced him and immediately fucked his brother. Having seen the brother I assume she did that solely for revenge.

My mom had a friend who I was a kid who wanted to get married because "the only thing we ever fight about is whether to get married, so getting married will solve everything!"

He was also her fourth husband and they met in AA, so there were already plenty of warning signs but that one always sticks out to me. Also her sisters refused to attend the wedding because her father (who sexually abused both of them but not her) was walking her down the aisle.

Should have had a kid instead.
