“Her Mother-In-Law Got Drunk And Naked”: People Share When Wedding Guests Crossed The Line

1.

“Me (23F) and my now husband (26M) had our wedding last week. At first, everything was beautiful. I got married to my high school sweetheart and was so happy. While I’m taking photos with my bridesmaids, I see his cousin with a girl I’m unfamiliar with. She seems uncommunicative at first, but is friendly to me. We finish our photos and go inside to relax and chat before I walk down the aisle. A long while later, after the vows were exchanged, I bumped into this girl while on my way to the food table. She’s clearly intoxicated, but through her slurred speech, I could hear her ranting about how crowded the venue was. Then it escalates. I was getting food for my mom when she said to me that she was surprised my husband had married ‘someone like me’ because he could have done better than me.”

“I tried to laugh it off, and I told her I was very lucky to have him. The interaction left me feeling upset, but I brushed it off as her just being drunk, and I started drinking too, and soon forgot about it.

Time goes by, and I’m feeling good; my husband and I, along with all the guests, were dancing. Suddenly, I hear a crashing sound near the food table, and all of us rush over to see what’s happening. I saw her on the ground sobbing hysterically, and my husband’s cousin was trying to calm her down. She had completely smashed my wedding cake and ripped the decorations. My heart was broken to see my wedding cake completely destroyed, but I tried to ask what was wrong. She started screaming and cursing at me. I was confused and drunk, so I started shouting back and ordered my husband to kick her out. He didn’t want to and told me she should be allowed to stay since she was a friend. 

I argued with him and told him that she’s ruined my wedding. It eventually took my husband and his cousin to get her under control and convince her to go home. She left with her, and when my husband came back, he looked angry with me. He completely blew me off for the rest of the night, and I could tell the atmosphere was now awkward for all my guests. 

The next day, my husband lectured me about how I hurt her feelings and demanded I apologize to her. We argued, and he slept on the couch. Things eventually cooled down, so I tried to talk to him about it the following days, but he shut me down and just told me I was being overdramatic about the situation. I’ve never even seen her until my wedding — I have no clue why she would lash out like that. Even though she was drunk, she ruined my special day, and now I can’t think of the happy memories I have because I can only think of that incident.”
