Every woman’s biggest dream? Maybe their wedding day. This may not be for everyone, but it often happens that, from an early age, women fantasize about this auspicious day. Bad things don’t always turn out the way they imagined. Sometimes, in fact, it is precise during important ceremonies, especially weddings, that the worst in people comes out – the most deceitful part of their personality.
Do you think this can’t be true because your wedding was so lavishly organized? The subject of the story we are about to tell you did not think of this, we promise! We all know very well that, on the wedding day, the focus is on the bride. Stunningly beautiful in a white dress, a bouquet of flowers in her hand and a heart-pounding with emotion… but what if your mother-in-law also dresses like you? What if she wears her old wedding dress to piss you off?
We don’t think you’ll be very happy. ‘My husband and I got married a few years ago, but I recently discovered this sub, and thought about how my lovely MIL wore her own wedding gown to our wedding. This woman was far far from the Jocasta type, and actually not much of an attention seeker, but she was a perpetual victim, and in her mind, I had committed a grievous sin.
When I vetoed the dress she wanted to wear to our wedding (color clashed, not MOG appropriate) I guess she thought she was getting some revenge on me. She had gotten married a year and a half before us, so it wasn’t like she pulled some 80s wedding dress out of a box. This was actually gorgeous, thankfully cream not white, and it definitely stood out at our fairly simple wedding. I was very upset. It was a slap in the face, and honestly, I have some insecurities about my looks.’
No one would like to be placed in a similar situation. The wedding day should be one of the most beautiful in a bride’s life, but for this bride, it was turning into a nightmare. At least, until the groom had a brilliant idea to avenge her in an exemplary way. It was certainly one of the most entertaining moments of the entire ceremony and the couple had a lot of fun, but not all users agreed with what had happened and the web was divided into two opinions. Many took the side of the spouses, while others showed solidarity with the mother-in-law.
‘We got married young, neither of us could legally drink, and there are some alcohol issues in my family, so we decided to skip the alcohol altogether. I got some drinks about we should pour red wine on her, but alas there was no red wine. Now I’m not saying this is the best solution, or his finest moment (though God damn it, I’m proud of him) but my husband finally had enough. She had snubbed me all evening and had an attitude.
Before the cake cutting, he cut a very large piece and went over to where she was sitting, and just full-on caked her in the face. It was glorious (and I’m not a fan of couples doing it) Her dad, who is the biggest enabler in the world laughed at her. Even her husband laughed at her. My husband, with his shiny spine, said “well, they told me it was time to cut the cake, and I thought you wanted to be the bride”
MIL handled it far better than I had anticipated. She turned her attention from loathing me to attacking her husband with cake since he was laughing at her. She eventually laughed it off, but I’ll never forget the wonderful picture of him doing it for the first time. She had no choice but to walk out like that, giving everyone a good glimpse of her. I’m not even offended that she turned it into a cake fight because it was her husband who forced her to wear the outfit in the first place.
And wanted to get her a new one because her dress was cream rather than white, and he wanted her to be dressed in full-on wedding white (this man despises us) Thankfully, her husband was offered his ideal job a few months later, and they were able to relocate out of state. We have almost no communication except for the occasional holiday at her parents’ place because she can’t be bothered to phone or visit.’
What are your thoughts on this? Was it correct for the son to make his mother pay for her insensitivity, or would it have been preferable to wait and carry on with the ceremony despite her evident provocation?
