Hey there internet queens and kings. If there's one thing that's unforgivably embarrassing, it's seeing your family have a full blown fist fight chaos at your own wedding. A wedding is supposed to be a special, beautiful, and peaceful occasion, but when you start mixing people, family members, and alcohol, I guess it's no wonder these things happen. 

It's a nightmare to want to celebrate your day of love, meanwhile your parents and grandparents are having it out. Who cares anymore at that age? Shouldn't you old people be happy for your grandchildren and not try to fight your son-in-law? But that's besides the point. 

This Reddit story follows a risque situation between a married couple, who are decades past the point where their initial ages mattered. But somehow, decades later, it matters to some people. You can't choose your family, but you can choose how close you want to be with them.

    Hear me out. I know how the title sounds. My wife and I recently got married and unfortunately the reception turned to a show. For context my parents have a 10 year age gap and my father knew my grandfather and worked for him when my mom was in high school. They got together when

    she was 22 and he was 32 and no one thought anything of it. Also my granddad lost his company about 20 years ago because of his own inappropriate behavior and the lawsuits he caused. The board forced him to step down but he wanted to keep it in the family so he had my dad take over with the board's

    approval. Ever since then he has seemed to resent my dad. Anyway we had some family pictures on display because my wife saw the idea on Pinterest and wanted to celebrate all the different love stories. Well i guess my grandfather was really studying a picture of my mom

    My grandfather then stormed into the reception and began yelling at my dad that he is a , a pervert, stole his company, etc. He was screaming about how he trusted him in his home and with his daughter.

    My dad started yelling back about "she came onto me" "you let her drink alcohol so how was I supposed to know" (but then he up and admitted he knew) My mom was trying to diffuse this. My dad then said my grandfather was a father and he is just angry because my mom doesn't love him. At this point my grandfather

    swung at him and my dad knocked him down and said he wasn't going to fight an old man. My grandfather then called my mom a and my dad went at him again. My mom dragged him out, but we were humiliated, and the day was ruined.

    My dad did apologize to us and we decided to go no contact with my grandfather. After my dad apologized my wife was staring at my mom, and when my mom seemed confused she was like aren't you going to apologize. My mom said she didn't do anything. My wife snapped that she was a part of it.

    My dad started getting mad at my wife saying my mom only tried to diffuse. My wife said my mom still needed to apologize and that their age gap is gross. I stepped in and said my mom does not need to apologize. Now my wife is angry with me

    • Ancient_List ⚫ 14h ago Uh...A part of what? Breaking it up? If she doesn't like your family dynamic and knew you were close to your parents, then she shouldn't be marrying into the family and demanding apologies for existing

    And if your wife truly has an issue with it, your mother would be the victim

    Webinformal9558 • 14h ago I can understand why your wife is upset, but it doesn't sound like your mom did anything to apologize for.

    If grandpa didn't know the relationship before mom turned 18, and mom chose that picture, then, yeah, she does have some responsibility for how things went down at the wedding. That being said, the thing that makes the age gap gross at 17 also kind of absolves mom from
