  • She never even would've known the truth of the wedding drama if it weren't for the fact that they were recounting the memory to their 15-year-old son. She told the details she recalled and her hubby confessed that what she was remembering wasn't all of the facts…

  • Our wedding day is still a bit of a crazy blur for me. The ceremony was fine (even with my husband being "buzzed" at the alter.) During our reception one of my husband's buddies came with his girlfriend. She

  • As we were talking to the friend his GF got off of his lap and stumbled and spilled the liquor down the front of my wedding dress. I wasn't mad at the time because I figured it was a drunken accident.

  • 17 years later we were telling my 15yo son about it and my husband said he kicked them both out while I went to the bathroom to clean up. I told him that I thought they left because she was fall-down dr_nk.

  • CoffeeChocolateBoth Everyone who wore white to your wedding was tacky AF and that dumb drink thought she was protesting for the bride, not knowing you were the bride. LOL Now that's funny AF! All the while, she was in white too! OMG! Drink bimbo! I bet your husband still has your back! :)

  • Single-Pay-2135 OP He's my ride-and-di. The rest are petty B's that I've been ignoring for at least 30 years. They're the ones you invite out of obligation rather than desire.

  • Single-Pay-2135 OP To put it as nicely as possible, my family is filled with A LOT of jealous women. I was the first to graduate college, get (and stay) married, only have one baby daddy (Hubby), ect. They peaked in high school. Popular, attractive, socially acceptable. I was a nerd who like school.

  • GualtieroCofresi You know? It's hard to fault her for what she did. She legitimately thought she was doing God's work and protecting you. She just didn't know who was the right person. I would give her 2 1/2 out of five stars.

  • Outrageous-Trade3007 I hope they and you all billed her for the dry cleaning of the dresses she ruined Single-Pay-2135 OP We did. Hubby's friend paid for it. They still couldn't get the stain out.
