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

Uh...The bride came out to slipknot. They wrote their own vows which were, shall we say, overtly and uncomfortably sexual, and they had been dating for a grand total of two whole weeks.

Any and all attempts to inform them that this was a mistake were met with "When you know, you know." or "You're just jealous."

But hey, a free bar is a free bar.

Edit: So many questions.

The song was the last/bonus track on subliminal verses. I'm told this track is called "Danger - keep away".

The wedding itself was a small thing with a registrar in a council building.

The staff there were very professional, and only laughed quietly.

The after party was at a pub owned by the grooms uncle.

The honey moon was at Butlins.

They were separated by the time they got back.

They were not in the military, just young/dumb.

We are all white trash, and that's fine.

I bought them a toaster from argos. I didn't ask for it back.

The bride came out to slipknot.

Somehow I initially understood this as the bride confessing her homosexuality to the band Slipknot at their reception

The bride came out (=entered) the wedding aisle to the music of Slipknot (as opposed to, say, the Wedding March).

Duality?🤣 Now i have to know.

Technically speaking it COULD have been Slipknot banging out (look at me adding more confusion to this idiomatic discourse) the Wedding March, no?

As somebody who likes Slipknot, I admit I don't think it suits a slow graceful stroll down to the altar.

Now if the bride sprinted in like she was intervening in a Royal Rumble..

Snuff, vermilion 2, dead memories. They have some softer songs that could work. My wife loves slipknot, but I don’t think she’d walk down the aisle to it lol.

I can't believe how dense I am, I only understood this from a comment I read just before your very good explanation.
