A friend of mine found out she was pregnant a few months after she got engaged. Both she and her fiance grew up in pretty conservative Christian families (in fact, her fiance was in school to become a pastor at the time), so announcing this news to their families was not easy. But they decided that they couldn't keep it a secret -- the wedding was not supposed to happen for a whole year. Thankfully, the families seemed to take it pretty well. It was decided that the wedding date should be moved up so that the bride's belly wouldn't be noticeable in her wedding dress.
Everything was going along smoothly on the big day, until just moments before the bride was about to walk down the aisle. An extended family member approached her from out of nowhere and whispered to her that she should be ashamed and should not be wearing a white dress. The bride burst into tears and ran into the bathroom, leaving the groom waiting up at the altar. Her father told the offending guest to leave immediately. We consoled the bride. She made it down the aisle. They now have a gorgeous daughter who is the light and joy of their lives.

When did sticking to the rules of religious law/tradition become more important than how we treat our fellow humans?? Seems so backwards and I don't think Jesus would approve.
ReplyDeleteWHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE! Why did that person even come to the wedding at all if they felt that way?
ReplyDeleteThis story simultaneously makes me think people are the worst - and people are the best (way to go Dad, and friends who supported her.)
ReplyDeleteSending a big e-hug to your friend. The nerve!
ReplyDeleteIt makes my so happy that they made the rude guest leave. So many times these stories end with "and then we had to sit next to her at dinner because my parents didn't want to be rude." No! At your wedding you get to make the assholes leave and if your family is awesome they will make the assholes leave for you. Go team!
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Dad's a stud! Way to know what it means to be a parent.
DeleteYes!! Go dad :D
DeleteOh that breaks my heart. That poor bride. What a hateful woman. WWJD??? Not that!
ReplyDeletewhat a c*nt. who are these self-righteous morons?? these people need to get with the times, we live in the 21st century.
ReplyDeleteI hope this woman is now kicking herself for having missed out an amazing day.
I hope that the evil guest had already taken her seat, and that Dad got to march down the aisle and kick her out in front of the entire church. Hopefully SHE was the one put to shame!
ReplyDeleteHOORAY FOR DADS. Weddings: You find out who your friends are.
ReplyDeleteholy shit that's f*&$#ing horrible.

ReplyDeleteand FUCK THAT NOISE. So much. I am fuming for, and feeling for, the bride in equal measure. Just...

FUCK THAT NOISE.
We are having a twofer this summer: marriage and baptism, and it is awesome and, I hope, self- selecting in the attendees :)
ReplyDeleteCrazy... BTW LOVE wedding horror story week <3
ReplyDeleteJeeze, at least save it for the reception!
ReplyDeletewow! I'm always amazed that my very religious aunts have often quoted that "A woman can be pregnant for any amount of time after her wedding but the second pregnancy is always 9 months."
