A bride has shared the hilarious and disgusting way her mother-in-law‘s antics backfired on her after she wore white to her wedding.
She recounted how, after getting engaged, her mother-in-law turned into an “extremely nosey, very opinionated” person. She said on Reddit: “She had to always one-up everything and everyone. She has to be the centre of attention all the time. My wedding day was no exception.”
To the bride’s dismay, her mother-in-law arrived at the wedding wearing a white dress. Despite the tension, the bride maintained her composure: “I continue to ignore her and not let her know she’s getting under my skin.”
The wedding itself went smoothly, but the reception revealed more antics from the mother-in-law. The bride explained: “Wedding goes off without a hitch. Reception is great, we serve many options for a variety of palates, including something for my mother-in-law who is extremely lactose intolerant. But that did not stop her from indulging in the dairy options that were for the other guests (which she completely knew, as she insisted we have non-dairy options).”
However, as the night was drawing to a close, her mother-in-law’s excessive drinking started to take its toll. The bride said: “Fast forward to the end of the night, my mother-in-law is also indulging in beverages of the adult variety, and having the time of her life, like it’s one of her past three weddings.
“Did I mention she doesn’t (and shouldn’t) drink alcoholic beverages? Oh yeah. She takes medication that shouldn’t be combined with alcohol. She ends up having to s**t like her life depends on it. She runs up to her hotel room (reception is in a hotel we are all staying at). She can’t find her room key.
“Panic ensues. I run to the front desk, she’s calling the front desk. Everyone is in panic mode. The concierge (who couldn’t have been more than 19-year-old) comes running down the hall, and unlocks her room with a master key. My mother-in-law runs into the hotel room bathroom but doesn’t quite hit the mark.
“Remember I said lactose intolerant and now intoxicated? Yup. S**ts everywhere in that bathroom. I mean walls, floor, toilet. Every. Where. Explosive diarrhoea. It’s biohazard central. While waiting outside the bathroom, the bride took a look around the room and much to her horror, came to realise there was a baby’s crib in it.
“She is in the wrong hotel room. Right room almost, wrong floor. There are baby toys and a crib and, like, evidence everywhere of this being a family’s room, definitely not my mother-in-law’s room. The room did not belong to a wedding guest.
“My husband’s aunt (my mother-in-law’s sister) is now standing with me and as we realise this together… I dip out. I’m like, I’m done. Someone else can deal with this. I was the bride for cripes sake. She ended up having to pay the hotel for damages and to compensate the family whose bathroom she destroyed.
“My mother-in-law made us all swear to never ever speak of this ‘incident’ again. Only a handful of people know what happened, and honestly, I don’t want to talk about it! Still married (16 years) and my mother-in-law is exactly the same, to this day.”
Commenting on her post, one user said: “I love the fact that she tried to hostage you but you are the one who witnessed her humiliation! I bet that’s served you well these last years.” Another user added: “This may be one of the most entertaining wedding stories I’ve ever read.” A third user said: “That’s what she gets for wearing white at your wedding! Gotta love karma.”
