Shocking reasons why people cancelled their own weddings

More than just cold feet! People reveal the VERY scandalous reasons they called off their wedding – from a bride-to-be who discovered her husband cheated to a man who is having a baby with his sister-in-law

  • People have revealed the reasons they called off their weddings 
  • One man found out his wife-to-be was pregnant with his brother’s child 
  • Others simply realised their relationships were not compatible for the ‘long haul’ 

They say everyone gets cold feet before their big day – but some people take a little longer than others to realise they might be making the wrong decision. 

And in some cases, the reasons for backing out of a wedding can be incredibly shocking. 

People from around the world took to anonymous secret-sharing app Whisper  to share the reasons why they cancelled their own weddings, in some cases just days before tying the knot.

A Florida man confessed to getting his brother’s bride-to-be pregnant, resulting in the wedding being cancelled. The groom knew his fiancée had cheated, but wasn’t aware of who with – nor did he know that she was carrying his nephew.

Elsewhere, a woman stood firm when it came to changing her name, with her fiancée accusing her of ‘not being committed to him’ if she kept her maiden name. She called off the wedding after ‘refusing to be blackmailed’.
