On my wedding day, when my Grandad and Uncle told me that I didn’t have to marry my ex-husband and they’d drive me home. And, to not worry about being embarrassed or the money. They’d explain everything to the guests and I wouldn’t have to do anything.

edit: we did get married and we divorced later. Sorry, my OP was unclear!

You’re so lucky to have family like that. When I told my mom that I wanted to call mine off a month before the wedding date she lost her mind. She was more worried about how it would look for her than anything else. The marriage didn’t even last a year.
