There are many elements that can cause anxiousness and stress to future spouses when planning a wedding, whether it is the organization of the ceremony, the number of guests, the menu, the clothes, or the constant and frequent intervention of the couple’s parents, who want that day to be practically perfect. All of this involvement might be overstated and misplaced at times.
An unnamed 23-year-old Reddit member recounted his experience organizing his wedding in a conversation; the man not only claimed that the organization had turned into a nightmare but that his mother-in-unreasonable law’s demands had only made the problem worse.
“The mother of his fiancée proceeded to push the boundaries and adjust the plans that the two young men had in mind for organizing a ‘good’ marriage, and she did all of this without any embarrassment,” the man said.
An attitude that the future bride, who appeared to share certain opinions with her mother, seemed to adopt as well. In truth, the couple had decided that his crippled 9-year-old sister, who has a minor form of cerebral palsy, would be the bridesmaid. However, neither the mother-in-law nor the future wife thought this was a good idea.
In fact, the girlfriend told the man that they had made the “wrong choice” for the bridesmaid: “She told me that she was not sure how my sister would behave at the wedding and that I should not have taken that risk and I choose her niece instead, but I was convinced of my idea by telling her that I would not do it since I had given my word to my sister and my parents. I will neither disturb or bereave her by saying that my future wife’s niece will take her place. “
In response, the fiancée suggested to him, as did her mother, that her 9-year-old sister might wear the bridesmaid’s dress, but sit in the crowd with visitors without spreading flowers in the aisle due “because of her troubles. We have no idea how she will act at that time.” A reaction that drew hundreds of responses in support of the 23-year-old man.
