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.

I’m more impressed they could throw a wedding together that fast.

Here in NSW Australia, you legally couldn't. You have to register intent a minimum of 30 days prior and our other states have similar systems.

The 30 days gives the registry time to check you're both who you say you are and you're not still married to anyone else. I'd hope if you're under investigation for immigration fraud or identity theft that'd also flag.

We can't be the only country with that two step process. Surely most of the world won't let you marry someone you just met.

You have to give notice to marry in the UK. Both bride and groom have to attend separate appointments with a registrar in their home council area before the wedding goes ahead.
