There's really no way to know for sure, but I think it could be real. I once dated a woman who divorced a man she didn't want to marry. She said that immediately before she walked down the aisle she told her dad "I don't want to do this". He said "ok, we can call it off, you don't have to" but she went through with it anyways because she assumed it was just last minute cold feet. They divorced about two years later.
