A woman who has been planning nuptials for over two decades has revealed the tell-tale wedding day signs that a couple isn’t going to last.
Over the course of her 25 years in the wedding industry, Robin ‘Birdie’ Yarusso, 43, from Lakeville, Minneapolis, has helped plan over 100 nuptials.
She has practically seen it all, getting a front row seat to both the good – and the bad.
And she told the Daily Mail that she’s actually able to tell if the marriage will end in divorce based on how the bride and groom act on their wedding day.
‘There are micro signs that really align with much larger themes,’ she explained.
First, Birdie explained that the way the bride and groom handle their finances when it comes to their nuptials is a big indicator as to whether or not their marriage will stand the test of time.
‘We all know money is a big contributor to divorce,’ dished the expert.
‘If I have a couple that is going into major debt for their wedding, hiding spending from the other, not respecting one sides feelings towards certain financial boundaries – that marriage most likely will see those issues come out later and could be a reason for divorce.’

In addition, Birdie believes that couples who allow one of their mothers to be too involved may not have the best foundation.
‘When are we gonna to learn that a meddling mother isn’t good for a marriage?’ she continued.
‘A mother that doesn’t respect a couples’ choice during the wedding planning process isn’t going to all of a sudden respect them during even more important phases like purchasing a home, having children, or even deciding where to spend holidays.
‘This can be ok IF the child is willing to correct her. If not, it’s a recipe for disaster.’
Lastly, Birdie slammed popular wedding trends that involve the bride or groom embarrassing the other in front of their guests.
In recent months, videos of someone smashing their new spouse’s face into the wedding cake has gone particularly viral.
‘If a couple agrees ahead of time that they both want to smash a cake, fine. No problem,’ said Birdie.
‘But if one does it against the other’s wishes that’s borderline abuse and at minimum disrespect. Clearly toxic.’

Birdie previously spoke to the Daily Mail about the most annoying thing that guests can do at a wedding… and it’s something many people are guilty of.
When attending a wedding, it’s natural to have questions about logistics.
Maybe you’re wondering where you should park, or what the food options may be… But according to Birdie, you better keep those questions to yourself.
Birdie told the Daily Mail that guests bombarding the bride with their inquiries on her big day is one of the worst possible things they can do.
‘Texting the bride the day of over little stuff like “where do we park again?” [is the most annoying thing a wedding guest can do],’ she explained.
‘She’s busy. There are so many ways to figure it out without stressing her out.’
In addition, she slammed people who turn up late to the nuptials, pointing out that it often interrupts the event and distracts others guests.
‘Walking into the ceremony late is distracting, [especially] while you find your seat,’ she stated.
