    Well the same vein as everyone else.... Why stop it???everyone needs a starter spouse.... Seriously if you don't have an awful first marriage then how can you be delicate damaged goods when you hit your 40s

    ok. if you're serious then you need to ask yourself:
    Is she in physical danger?
    Is she in psychological danger (ie, he belongs to some bizarre religion that she's going to be expected to join ala Katie Holmes)?
    Is he hiding a big secret?
    Is he just a major jerk?

    To quote the wicked witch of the west, "These things have to be done very delicately."

    I would background check him first. There might be something in his past that would prevent this marriage--an unfiled divorce is a good example. If he can't legally marry, then notify the person officiating and they'll put a stop to it. If anything really good but not legally marriage-preventing shows up, make sure she gets it anonymously. If it's seriously bad, make sure everyone gets it anonymously. Including yourself, so you aren't the obvious culprit...

    If you think she's in physical danger, then all bets are off. Tell everybody--discreetly. Talk to the minister who is officiating. Some will not perform the service until both receive counselling in that case.

    Or you could just ride it out with her and start saving money for her divorce...

    If this is all a joke, then thanks for a funny cup of coffee this a.m. Particularly loved the Kill Bill references. lol

    Call police , tell them groom is a drug dealer or pimp and that there's going to be drugs as wedding gifts .....maybe the cops will come and break up the wedding!! :)

    I slept with the groom once. That seemed to do it.
    That's what I was going to suggest

    GEESH..... don't try to break it up at the last minute. Stop it in advance so people don't spend time and money buying a gift, and clearing their schedule to be at a wedding that will only be obliterated at the altar.

    Honestly, there really is nothing you can really do about it. The best way to stop a wedding is for the bride and groom to be to decide that it is just not the best course of action; this of course is difficult since most enter into this institution with blinders on... You can be honest with your friend but other than that about the best you can do is wish them well and be there for them when/if it fails. Try to intervene and you will only cause unnecessary strife and may eliminate yourself as a viable help when/if things move south in a few months/years.

    If only you would have broke up my first marriage I never would have had to go through divorce or have my daughter have a Disney dad.... Make sure it's for the right reasons and that She is "truly" not happy ... Good luck and Best wishes for all of you involved.

    I'm not sure if this is true, but I've heard that when the person officiating the ceremony asks whether there is anyone that's against the marriage, "speak now or forever hold your peace," that if someone does say something, the couple will not be allowed to get married that day...by law. Once again I'm not sure if it's true and I think some couples have that phrase removed from their ceremonies, so... good luck! lol

    At the bachelor party, arrange a couple of strippers. . they don't even need to bang. .just make sure you instruct them to cover the guy with hickies. . .

    I guess, she is not your closest friend, if she is acting towards you. Besides, is she forced to get married? And, there is always the possibility of getting divorced. So why bother?

    Offer to pay for the Limo. Book the car and driver and when he arrives give him the wrong address to the church. Be at that other location/church/whatever, and intervene at that place DURING the booked ceremony time. Make it an intervention with many people present to support your concerns wishes and have it take place when the church was booked. When the intervention is over, there will be no choice but to "sleep on it" while finding another venue.

    I know it sounds horrible, sneaky, manipulative and harsh, but with little details I can only infer that it is a serious crisis that needs to be averted and I really only know how to deal with problems in a "call in the big guns" situation anyway so yeah, my answer's gonna be hard core. I'm thinking about my cousin and if I'd had the balls to intervene on her wedding and the confidence in myself to know he was bad bad news that would only get worse, and how it might have changed her life for the better immeasurably.

    THIS!!!

    Go stand outside the chapel and blast your boombox with "IN YOUR EYES" and then declare your love for the groom!

    No matter what you try to do it will not end well for you. Stay out of it, they are both grown ups.... right? I mean we're not talking about underage people here. You have to assume that they are capable of making their own decisions, any attempt you make to break them up will just make you look bad. MYB

    Hello All!

    I have a friend that is getting married a week from tomorrow! Great news, right? Wrong.

    My friend "acts" happy but I don't believe that they are really happy. I think that it would be in everyone's best interest to break up the wedding next weekend...

    How should I go about doing this?

    With all due respect, mind your own business. Leave it alone.

    This was just on Sirius XM radio the other day...people calling off their own weddings because they realized they were more in love with the wedding than the actual marriage.
