Her Mom And Her Husband’s Dad Secretly Dated For A Year And Got Married Just One Month Before Her Wedding Day, Which Caused Only Half of Her Guest List To Show Up
This 26-year-old woman just got married to her husband, who is also 26, about three weeks ago.
They first began dating during their junior year of high school and lasted until their senior year of college– when her husband finally proposed. Then, their engagement period lasted two years before they finally tied the knot.
But, just about one month before their wedding, both of their parents threw them for a loop.
“My mother and his father came out and told us that we couldn’t get married anymore because they got married a few days ago in a courthouse,” she revealed.
Now, absolutely no one had any clue that her mom and her husband’s dad had been dating for the past year before then.
Still, they jumped to get married first and used it to prevent her and her husband from getting wed– because, if they did, their parents claimed that they would be marrying their sibling.
And as you can imagine, she felt utterly disgusted by her own mom.
“How could they get together and get married before us?” she asked.
After all, she and her husband had way more history and had been together much longer. Plus, she couldn’t believe her mom and her husband’s dad had the nerve to try and prevent her wedding from happening.

So, she wound up telling them to get out, and she and her husband decided to go through with the wedding anyway.
According to her, the people who had “common sense” took their side.
However, other people– like her mom’s best friend– essentially called and tried to guilt-trip her into forgiving her mom.
“You can always find someone else to love you; you’re still young. Your mom doesn’t have time like you,” her mom’s best friend told her.
Quite frankly, though, she really didn’t care. She told her mom’s best friend to “shut up” and hung up the phone.
Anyway, on the day of her wedding, only about half of her guests showed up because the other half just did not approve of her relationship anymore.
Regardless, she didn’t care because she loved her husband, and she always will.
“I just don’t think it was fair to us to slap that on us a month before our wedding and try to tell us that we had to break up. My mom did that to me and his dad,” she vented.
She was unbelievably hurt, and she could tell that her husband was, too, even if he tried to act strong for her.
So, it genuinely feels like her mom completely stabbed her in the back and betrayed her.
Yet, ever since saying “I do” to her husband, she can’t help but wonder whether going through with the wedding was somehow the wrong thing to do.
How would you feel if your parent pulled a stunt like this? Did she do the right thing by going through with her wedding anyway? How would you have handled this situation?
