No Parents Were Invited
After the vows and the kiss, as the couple was walking together down the aisle. Suddenly, the mother of the bride made an unforgettable announcement. She stopped the recessional and said that she and her husband were renewing their vows right then and there.
The husband was mortified but went along with it. After all, they paid for the wedding. Once they had renewed their vows, the bride’s mother invited everyone to the “joint reception.”
Throughout the reception, the mother loudly and repeatedly commented on how many gifts the bride and groom had received and how no one had bothered to bring a gift for the mother and husband.
Never mind the fact that none of the guests (nor the wedding party, the planners, nor anyone else) knew the bride’s parents would be exchanging vows.
Towards the end, after a whole night of drinking, the drunken and sobbing mother accused the bride of taking the mother’s “special day,” called her a whole bunch of mean things in front of her friends and family, then grabbed the wedding cake and left.
The bride and groom had another ceremony a few weeks later. No parents were invited. Story credit: Reddit / l0destone
