But that’s what happened to one couple in Scotland. After guest Nick Pritchard tweeted about the fight between the bride and groom, he was flooded with messages asking him to explain.
He wrote: “At a wedding yesterday. Lovely ceremony, slightly marred by the bride and groom splitting up less than two hours later. No, really.”
Naturally, his followers wanted to know what could have caused a row between the two people who had just exchanged vows.
Nick, from Derby, explained: “Words were had as we sat down to eat. Seems there had been other issues throughout the day. All kicked off.”
Obviously some thought it might be a hoax, but Nick insisted: “Seriously! Falling out as we sat down to eat. Bride and groom stormed off. Cue massive row between families. Awkward.”
But he couldn’t just leave it there. Twitter users had unanswered questions and Nick was only to happy to answer them.
He informed his followers that the cake hadn’t even been cut and there hadn’t been a chance to make speeches before the argument.
When asked if he knew the situation between the couple now, Nick replied: “Hearing that against all odds a rapprochement may now be under way. More news as we get it.”
