It’s probably many peoples worst nightmare, to find out the person you’re in love with has gone behind your back, not in the least when it’s before your wedding day. This groom, in particular, has first-hand experience with that kind of nightmare, except it just kept getting worse. Everyone looks forward to their wedding day, expecting it to be one of the most special days of their lives. Of course, this groom will remember it for an entirely different reason.
This is the kind of thing nobody could makeup, it seems too ridiculous that, if it were a movie, people would balk and say it wasn’t believable. However, these things do happen. They may be far and few between, but they do, and they make people everywhere turn their heads. Of course, the way it happened was in the most awkward way possible. We wonder how all the guests felt having to watch it all unfold! Well, it just so happens that one guest came forward to explain how it all happened, leaving out none of the gory details.
It all started on the Graham Norton Show
If there is any place you want to get some juicy gossip off your chest, it’s a TV show, right? Well, that’s exactly what this guy thought after he attended what’s possibly the most awkward wedding in history.

If you’re not familiar with the Graham Norton Show, it’s a British chat show hosted by the man himself. He invites some of the most famous people of the time, getting to know them and asking them about their latest releases or projects.

Digging deep
What makes Norton such a successful show host is his relaxed and hilarious demeanor; he has a way of making his guests feel comfortable. Practically all of this shows are a barrel of laughs! His Irish charm helps him to lure people into giving away exclusive secrets, from embarrassing celebrity moments to behind-the-scenes drama.

The show invites celebrities from all over the place, but it generally focuses on the actors and actresses in recent feature releases. However, the show isn’t just about the celebrities, they also let the audience have a short window to say a few words while their favorite stars listen with intrigue.

His little game
Part of the show is the part called ‘the Big Red Chair.’ Essentially, a member of the audience will have a great story they want to share with everyone. However, Norton has turned it into a game. The member of the public sits in this big red chair and tell their story.

If Graham finds it funny or brilliant in some way, then the person gets to walk free. However, if Norton thinks the story is garbage, then he’ll pull the lever he had in front of him which flips the chair backward. It’s usually a lighthearted game, or it was up until this guest.

His genius idea

While he was doing this, he had to make sure no one knew what was going on, so he made it seem like it was all a game.

It might not be the best wedding they ever attended, but it would be one they would never forget. It was almost as if they were transported into the middle of a soap opera.

She wasn’t ready to be married
There are all kinds of relationships out there, but this bride knew that her groom wanted to be with her, and only her. This means that any relations she has behind his back were a huge betrayal and unforgivable.

The fact she cheated on him with not one, or two, but eight of his friends, probably indicates that she wasn’t ready to be married to anyone yet. So, why would she go through with it?

Why did they both get married?
It’s an age-old issue that people get married all the time when they shouldn’t. This couple clearly weren’t meant for each other, but the groom obviously wasn’t aware until the last moment. However, if you knew you weren’t ready to commit to one person, why would you try and marry them?

No doubt, many have asked this question: Once the groom found out, how could he go through with the ceremony? The answer is a little wild, but it spells revenge.
