Relationships July, 12, 2025

Shayla, a wedding photographer, claims that she can tell which marriage is doomed from the day of the wedding day and which will last. She got to know 3 signs from a wedding photographer, who is in this business for more than 15 years, which tells which couple will go the distance.

When couples get married, they believe that their marriage will last forever, and they will be together till the end of time. But, according to the facts, there are around 50 percent marriages that end in divorce which proves that not all couple will spend their lives together till eternity.

It is quite impossible to predict how long a marriage will last but a wedding photographer says that it is not so difficult, and the signs of future divorce bells are quite easy to understand. Shayla Herrington, who goes by the username @shaylamherrington, shared on TikTok a video where she spilled the beans about how one can see that a particular marriage is doomed from the beginning. A photographer who was in the same business for more than 15 years shared their wisdom with her and told her about these 3 signals.

Shayla posted a video on TikTok explaining that one day she was shooting under a senior wedding photographer when he told her that they can always predict whether a couple will last or not, she got really interested to hear their theory. The photographer, who was in this industry for 10 to 15 years, shared with her 3 signs that would help in the prediction.

The first sign was when one of the spouses took more than three pictures without their better half then their marriage would not last long enough. If one thinks in depth about this theory, then this really made sense. Shayla thought that the theory made sense to her because the one who is getting married might get a few pictures clicked with their mom and dad but to not include their spouse in more than 3 pictures would seem a bit suspicious.

The second indicator mentioned by the photographer was when the bridesmaids or the groomsmen would try to void talking about the spouse when they are getting ready or would not mention them in their toast or anything. This would mean that they didn’t like the spouse. The most important and the final indicator about the marriage would last or not was when the couple spent more time with their family and friends than with each other throughout the day.

Shayla then asked her followers whether they believed that these indicators were true or not. Many of her followers came out and shared their wedding and divorce experiences. One of the TikTok users agreed with the stated indicators and said that her ex-husband didn’t spend much time with her at their wedding and the groomsmen didn’t even greet her at all. Another follower said that her husband didn’t even meet half of her family until their wedding day so the relationship between him and her family was not much strong.
