Weddings are often celebrated alongside your closest friends and family – but this isn’t the case for two newlyweds. Admitting that she banned her mum from her own wedding, a woman was livid as her parent gate-crashed her special day by turning heads.
Taking to popular forum Reddit, the bride fumed after claiming that her mum turned up to her wedding in her old wedding dress despite not being invited. Captioning the post, the woman wrote: “My mom tried to crash my wedding and is now guilt-tripping me.”
Explaining the ordeal, she said: “I’m so done, just so done with her. Three months of hell but finally me and my wife are happily married.”
The woman went on: “Not once did my mom think of me and what I wanted. She wouldn’t stop trying to call vendors, get things changed and try to guess the passwords. At one point we changed the passwords every week to random things so that she couldn’t guess them.
“We didn’t post the date anywhere and had on the invitations that the guests couldn’t share the date and location yet SOMEHOW she got both.
“We even told her that the stress was too much and we where going to wait until the summer or later to get married and she screamed at us, telling us that we where horrible and canceling it to spite her. We blocked her phone number, reduced the wedding budget significantly so we could hire good security.
“Thank f****** god we did and gave them pictures of her because somehow she found out the date, time and location and came in her motherf****** WEDDING DRESS and demanded to be let in because it was ‘her’ wedding.”
Thankfully, the couple was able to put the day behind them as they prepared to enjoy their romantic honeymoon together.
The woman went on: “I am beyond done, I’m typing this as me and my wife are waiting to get on our plane to go home after an incredible honeymoon. We even looked at job openings and apartments that are at least six hours away from where we currently live because my ‘loving’ mother has taken to sending us letters calling me a horrible daughter and sending packages that are piles of pictures from when I was a kid and I loved her unconditionally with notes asking why I don’t love her anymore and why I banned her from her wedding, how excited she was for it, how it was her right as my mom to go.
“She tried to guilt me, she cursed me out, and what? Thought I’d give up, let her do whatever she wants, and run my life for me?”
While the couple was away, the woman detailed how her mum turned up to hand-deliver hurtful notes to the couple – but thankfully they weren’t home.
She admitted: “I’m fuming, I’m p***** and I was to scream because what the F***. She tried to ruin my wedding. MY OWN MOTHER TRIED TO RUIN MY WEDDING AND IS TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD. She tried to plan my wedding for me, threw a tantrum when I asked her not to, tried to sabotage it and then crashed it. But sure, I’M the problem here.”
Flocking to the comment section, Reddit users sympathised with the upset poster.
Taking to the comments, one person said: “Congratulations on your wedding! I hope you and your wife can move past all the crazy your mother did in the future. Neither of you deserved any of her ridiculous nonsense surrounding one of the happiest days of your lives. I’m so sorry you had to deal with this!”
