Long long did it take for the "train wreck" to end? Who had the shortest marriage?

I got drunk and married a co-worker in Nevada in my youth. It was around 7 hours before we could have it anulled.

12 yrs the first time, wifey was married 3 months her first time

A decade. I guess I lose this contest.

I knew a couple that came home from their honeymoon early fighting. They took three weeks to get it annulled. The first posting of 7 hours is going to be hard to beat.

Fellow I went to school with, got married by the justice of the peace. After the ceremony, they got to arguing over where to go eat, so he drove back to the justice of the peace, and tore up the marriage certificate. Dont know if that one counts or not.

My alcoholic, coke-head brother in law married his girlfriend of a month during a trip to Vegas. Divorced two weeks later.

Had a colleague who married a guy she’d just met two weeks before. Still together after 15 years. But they’re both kinda quirky so I guess it works for them.

2nd marriage lasted 9 months, but it took me another 3.5 years to GTFO.

Shortest so far is 27 years.
Clocks still running.

My brother was divorced and living in LaGrange Georgia. His long lost girlfriend from college called him up, Jewish gal who had moved to Miami.
They had a 2 hour talk, and the next day Joni flew up to LaGrange with her 7 year old daughter and she married my brother that day, at the justice of the peace.

On day 6 of the marriage, Joni heard a commotion in the kitchen, my brother's 8 year old son was holding a butcher knife, and telling Joni's daughter. "Come near me again bitch and I will carve you up."

The newlywed grabbed her daughter and her suitcase, called a cab, and by sunset was back in Miami. She got the marriage annulled on day 7.

Same here!

Several years ago a wedding reception in our home town turned into a brawl between the two families...somebody went after somebody with a chainsaw. (At the risk of extending this thread for 38 more pages, I'll mention that I think it was a Stihl chainsaw. )I think the law was called on that one.

More recently one of my wife's cousin's kids got married...another epic wedding reception brawl between the two families. The bride and groom each ended up going home with their parents. Both families have a streak of congenital batshit crazy. Seems to me the kids are now happily married.

Only one divorce in my family.... in 1948... when my uncle got divorced.

Not the shortest but I'm very constant. All 3 of my marriages ended at the 5th year.

Your nephew sounds like he will need to have a cell reserved for him when he comes of age. Been my kid, he would have had a tough existence for a while. My own marriage is just coming to the end of the 53rd year, so I'm certainly not in the running. GD

9 months. She was out sampling different weener. And the second one, two years. Also checking out other options.

Both had a history of abuse, but I comfort myself by thinking it was because I must have a boring weener. Lol

Years later I got remarried and we just celebrated ten years this week. I taught it some tricks to keep this one entertained.

A little over two years the first time. Second time 52 years. It came to an end when she passed. Dunno if I want to try for a third time around.

I believe that my brother had one that lasted about 2 weeks! memtb

4 months for me, not the shortest, but short enough.

It took me that long to figure out that when you have 1 woman in your life you argue a lot. When you have several, you never argue lol

Never got married again :o)

Lucky Bastid, wish mine had been that quick.

So true,

Said by the Mountain Man in Jeremiah Johnson, I moved out west after watching that movie! :o)

I figured that kid was headed for the state pen. As far as I know he has never been arrested.

Why call the law?
Couple years?
He is Stihl trying to start it!😎

Only if they ran it out of gas……

Probably true. My Stihl is a finicky POS. Tried starting it a couple of hours ago and I'm done with it and in the market for a replacement.

Buy a can of starting fluid. Start the Stihl and sell it. Then go buy an Echo.

I used to sell Husqy, Stihl, and Echo. About 1 of 4 Echos came in for repairs in the warranty period. About 1 of 5 Husqys. Then about 1 of maybe 20 Stihls. An older guy that looked like he had never ran a saw in his life was purchasing a new Echo. I asked a guy what made him choose to buy an Echo once. He said he looked through our shop window and saw all the broken Stihl saws (there were maybe five) and said he figured that was a bad sign. I chuckled and smiled as I was filling out his paperwork. He asked me why. I grinned and told him we sell 200 Stihls for every Echo and pulled the two broken brand new Echos up so that he could see them. Lots of guys do have problems starting Stihls, but that's usually because they don't know how they work. If it doesn't have a primer bulb, they can't figure it out.

My cousin does not have the record for the shortest marriage, but he may well have the record for the craziest bitch of an ex-wife.

They dated for a couple months, and she came up pregnant.

He did not want to sire any bastard, so he agreed to marry her. Though they would never live together and the relationship was finished. He expected her to agree to a divorce directly after she gave birth.

She provided ultra sound images of twins. And subsequently called and said she was in the hospital. Babies were quite premature, one was headed to SLC neonatal care and was not expected to live.

His Mom ran down to the hospital and demanded to see her new grand baby. They had no patients with the proper names.

When everything came out in the wash, it was discovered the entire pregnancy was faked. The ultrasounds were from a previous pregnancy several years in the past which ended in a miscarriage.

He hired a lawyer and got the marriage dissolved. Divorce or annulment? I do not know.

One day after his separation was finalized, he found her name in the paper (legal notices) where she had become divorced from a previous husband.

The first one was a little over 2yrs, she didn't like my girlfriends.

LOL

Ya that’s a short marriage!

One of the most lavish, expensive, and elaborate weddings in our area only lasted about 6 or 8 months. Not a record for shortest, but maybe for the "dollars per day" average.

The next one was 8 horrible years and $125k. I never tried it again and don't mind my own cooking.

Only married once, tomorrow makes 25 yrs

Winner

I'm working on 52 years, and wondering.

Happy Anniversary to you both!

Happy anniversary
