Of weddings you've been to, how many of the couples later divorced?

[Anonymous]

And did you have an inkling beforehand that they might?

[Anonymous]

None, but I've only been to maybe 10 weddings. There are some I think still might divorce in the future.

[Anonymous]

Only 1 I can think of

[Anonymous]

None thus far (36; been to about 15)

3. In all three cases, I saw it coming at the time of the wedding. I kept my mouth each time (wasn't close enough to the couple to say anything), so I don't know if others felt the same way.

Been to six weddings, two of which didn't work out.
One of them was perhaps a given since the couple was very young (18 and 20).

The other frankly surprised and disappointed me, since I thought they threw in the towel too quickly without trying to work on their relationship at all. As professionals in their 30s with a young child, I would have thought they had more at stake, but I suppose they decided to not waste their time. I worry they will regret it.

Maybe four of them. One of them wasn't much of a surprise. He and his girlfriend had been dating since middle school with a fair amount of dysfunction. After college, it was time to either get married or break up. A year later, she was cheating on him and they divorced with no kids and no assets, so it was more like a glorified break up.

I've been to maybe 20 or so weddings, and of those I can think of 6 right off the bat that ended in divorce. One I actively saw coming, one I had an inkling, not so much the others.

1 divorce. 1 separation.

I didn't see it coming.

This is an interesting question. I actually have a lot of friends who are divorced (I am in my early 30s), but I have never been to a wedding that ended in divorce (I am sure this will change as I get older).

The divorce weddings were either super young and I didn't know the couple yet, or DH and I declined the invitation because we saw the train wreck coming (I can think of 3 of these, sadly...).

Of all of the weddings I've been to, only 2 divorces. But it was the same bride in both cases. The first time was a surprise, the second one was a relief.

[Anonymous]

I've been to maybe 15 or so weddings.

Declined to attend/be in one that I felt certain would fail spectacularly and soon - and it did.

Three ended in divorce thus far. Two weren't a surprise, one was a function of drug abuse and addiction - which was a surprise and very sad.

At least one or two of the ones still hanging on have surprised me with the longevity - I wouldn't have laid odds on it lasting but it has so far (at a decade).

2. Cousin (surprised at the time, makes sense now) and a not so close friend (very predictable).

But many still going strong from my post college years.

I've been to a lot of weddings, and I've noticed that the couples who mash cake in each others' faces are much more likely to end up either divorced or in a miserable marriage.

One. No inkling.

I've only been to five friend weddings. Two are very religious and would never divorce, although one is in a really bad marriage. Two were fantastic matches. One was my brother, who separated within 5 years. While I thought both he and his wife were super-shallow, I thought they were perfect for one another and truly happy. Little did I know.... Now he's getting ready to marry an uber-toxic woman who brings out all the bad stuff in him. This marriage will probably last forever.
