Weddings may be a celebration of the union of two people, but they're first and foremost an administrative marathon and a crash course in event planning—let's get that straight. The one thing you don't realize when you say "yes" is that you're not just saying "yes" to a ring; you're saying "Yes, I'd love to become a de facto event planner for the next year of my life as a second job." There's a lot going on and a ton to manage, and the entire time leading up to the big day is spent trying to ensure that things will run smoothly on the day itself and be pleasant enough for guests to remember the occasion fondly.
Of course, when it comes to the actual day, like any event, things aren't going to go exactly to plan, but at that point, you'll have so much else going on, and it's going to be such a whirlwind that it will take the support of your friends and family to sort those matters out. Unless your closest family members are the thing that isn't going to plan and decide to leave to go back to the hotel dangerously close to the ceremony's scheduled start time—making time to stop at a bakery along the way—in which case, there's not really going to be anyone taking care of them, and that's really their own fault.
But, people generally aren't good at accepting fault for their own mistakes and tend to deflect blame as a coping mechanism rather than letting the truth sink in. Our parents aren't immune to this, and this mother had trouble accepting that it was her own fault for missing her daughter's wedding ceremony, and instead of apologizing for her behavior, she turned to blame instead.
