Mother-in-Law Tries Everything to Stop Her Son from Marrying His Beloved, but Karma Strikes Back

On Reddit, the original poster Larilarieh posted a thread. It was about the mother-in-law’s actions against the woman her son married. Larilarieh noted that the event happened in her mother’s hometown. She also said she did not know the young woman involved. However, since the story had spread, Larilarieh decided to share what she knew.

The woman’s then-boyfriend’s family did not treat her right. She was disliked by her mother-in-law (MIL), sister-in-law (SIL), and brother-in-law (BIL). They disliked her because she didn’t come from a wealthy family.

Despite this, everyone who knew her said she was a kind and lovely person. Her husband’s family didn’t want her to marry into their family because of her socioeconomic status. They wanted the man to marry into a wealthy family.

While she was dating her husband, his family made fake accounts online to say mean things about her. When the husband asked his family about it, they denied their involvement. Things got so bad that the BIL even tried to pay her to leave her husband before they were married.

Her BIL gave the woman a blank check, but she still stayed with her husband. Despite facing such adversity, she handled the situation with grace. When the couple got engaged, the MIL caused a scene.

The MIL pretended that she had a heart attack and was hospitalized. She blamed her son for causing the supposed heart attack and told him he had to cover all of her medical bills. When her tactics did not work, the MIL, BIL, and SIL decided not to attend the wedding.

However, that was not the end. Instead, MIL, BIL, and SIL did something terrible. They paid someone to ruin the bride’s dress with red paint right before she walked down the aisle. On the wedding day, the bride looked beautiful in her white dress. Little did she know some people would ruin her dress.

Her husband’s family hired three men to do the job. Two of the men carried bottles of paint while one recorded what happened. They poured the paint on the back of her sleeveless white gown. Everyone was shocked, thinking it was blood at first.

The bride reportedly thought it was water at first. She saw how shocked people were. Her friends were trying to reassure her that she looked beautiful. At this point, the bride knew things were worse. The bride was heartbroken, especially when she saw her mother’s worried face.

The bride thought she was physically hurt. But the bride didn’t give up. She went home, changed into a beautiful gold dress, and returned to get married. All the guests waited for her, showing how much they cared. The wedding went on, and it was beautiful in the end.

The troubles didn’t stop there, though. During the wedding photos, the police came because of a fake tip from the groom’s family. They said there were drugs, which was a lie. The groom almost got arrested. But everything turned out okay, and the wedding continued beautifully.

After the wedding, the town learned what the MIL, SIL, and BIL had done. They were upset with them. Even the MIL’s house got egged by people who were angry about what she did. Despite being questioned by their friends, SIL and BIL denied their involvement. They seemed to take pleasure in the situation.

The FIL seemed to follow his wife’s lead blindly. He fired the groom from the family business. Fortunately, the groom’s uncles, who supported him, offered him a job instead. Despite claiming to be super religious, the groom’s family’s actions spoke otherwise.

Adding to the ordeal, the groom’s family stole his passport and visa before the honeymoon. They attempted to sabotage the trip. They also tried to bribe the travel agency to ruin the honeymoon plans. However, their attempts failed. The bride and groom managed to enjoy a successful honeymoon away from the toxicity of his family.

On Reddit, commenters had a lot to say about the event. One wrote, “I think it is not a coincidence they chose to paint her gown red. Almost feels like a threat.” Another commented, “They stole passports. That’s stealing a federal ID. if they want revenge they can easily submit forms for that to the government.”

A Redditor who wanted revenge on the MIL stated, “I hope their cars are egged every day, especially when it is hot out. I hope someone doing repairs on their house puts shrimp in their curtain rods.” Another person had ideas for what they would do if they were the bride or the groom.

The person noted, “If I was the groom, aside from going after them legally, this would mean permanent and enforced no contact with a restraining order. I hope he’s realised that his family are irredeemable psychopaths and steps up the protect his wife from them. If I was the bride and that didn’t happen then I would get an annulment.”

Despite the adversity the young couple have faced, their love has prevailed. Their story serves as a testament to their strength and resilience. What would you do if you were in the bride’s shoes? What do you think the groom should do? If you liked this story, share it on Facebook with your friends! They might find it interesting too!

In another story, Shannon, a TikToker, shared how her mother-in-law’s behavior turned into a stressful ordeal on her wedding day. She did not get the joyful celebration she had hoped for.

The wedding was planned for April 2020. This was amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, which added to the challenges. Despite her doubts, Shannon proceeded with the wedding. She faced criticism from her mother-in-law about various aspects. One was the color of the bridesmaids’ dresses as Shannon chose black.

The couple had an equal number of people for their bridal party, but the MIL wanted to add more. During the ceremony, Shannon noticed a girl wearing a different dress color from what she chose. She overlooked it to avoid conflict.

Shannon’s father-daughter dance was beautiful and went without a hitch. However, during the mother-son dance, Shannon had chosen a slow song because her husband did not know how to dance. Sadly, his mother changed the music and ignored her son’s discomfort.

More drama unfolded during speeches when the MIL caused a scene, feeling slighted by the lack of a dedicated thank-you speech. Immediately after the speeches, the mother-in-law stood up and started yelling in front of everyone at the party.

She said she didn’t want anything to do with the bride and groom again and would block them on all social media. The MIL then requested the bride’s bouquet, leaving the bride speechless. After the MIL made the day about herself, she left the reception early.

Shannon’s marriage ended about a year later, partly due to the MIL’s behavior. The story resonated with viewers, highlighting the MIL’s boundary issues and narcissistic tendencies. Despite the ordeal, Shannon emerged resilient, reflecting on her experience without bitterness.
