Where do I even start?
Let's see, when the least stressful part of the day is when my daughter (3) step on my dress and tore the whole backside, as we were leaving for the ceremony, thats saying something.
Before I even walked onto the beach, an argument errupted between the families. From what I gathered (from both families) my now 16 year old BIL was handing out the invites to the "surprise" reception that my Inlaws threw for us. My Mother told him she didnt want it "right now", as I was walking down the aisle. His Aunt took it upon herself to walk over to my mother and told her she needed it. When my mother declined again, his aunt called my mother a bit** and a whore. His mother told me after we were taking pictures that my mother hit her and was staring her down.
Now my mom is so easy to egg on, however evern I cant see my mother hitting a woman she has only met twice (once when we were 14 and then the day of the wedding).
While we were standing outside the restarunt my mother proceeds to tell me (in front of my husband) that his mother is a psyco and a bit**.
Once we were seated for dinner, my FIL decides to make a speech, thanking almost everyone for coming, how much he enjoyed meeting my father and stepmother (who showed up to the ceremony, but not the reception) and so on and so forth. In the middle of his less than appropriate speech, my mother slams her hands on the table and screams "Well, guess we are leaving!" told his father to f*** off and that she didnt need to put up with this sh**.
My mother decided to leave early along with most of my family. She called me the next morning to tell me I am not allowed to call her mom anymore, I married into a family full of trash and that the apple doesnt fall far from the tree.
Most of my family believes that I should have stood up for my family in the middle of this speech. I just felt I didnt want to start an even bigger scene in the middle of my wedding.
My husband and I had a rather large argument with his family after the whole days events were over.
Now my mother wont talk to me and has also told me that she doesnt need me to see my daughter, she will go through my ex (who she hates, and has hurt me so much, I cant believe she would do that), most of my family is mad at me for not defending my mom on the spot (in their opinion I should have walked out of my own reception). And to be honest, I am so mad at my inlaws for not being the bigger people, for allowing the argument to continue the way it did.
My husband and I agree that both parties were at fault, but I am so upset about the days events, that I am still, 4 days later, on the verge of tears.
On top of that, I have had several people ask if I am pregnant becasue of how I looked in my dress.
I should have just eloped
