The bride’s mother is shocked by what happened.
A 53-year-old mother is under extreme pressure because her “wild child” daughter – who is “a witch” according to her father – has run off and is having a Halloween wedding party in lieu of a more traditional ceremony.
recent father of the bride Family drama described on RedditWriting about his three children, none have “ever given me a headache like Lynn” – but the 55-year-old patriarch loves his youngest daughter.
It all started when Lynn received a college degree at the age of 16, shortly after moving to Louisiana and receiving more education.
“She has always been our extremely independent, logical, intelligent little girl. She is also more social,” he wrote. ,[She’s] Covered in tattoos, piercings and always has funky hair. I’m proud of her, I love her, but she’s always been our non-traditional child.
He said that Lynn is not only a nurse but also styles her hair on the side.
When she moved to the bayou-filled state, she met her future husband, 27-year-old Brad.
“Brad is like Lynn, gets tattoos and piercings up the ass. non conventional. He’s a good kid, I like him. He protected Lynn and was there for her through many things, I really love that boy for protecting my daughter,” the father wrote.
Even Lin’s mother at that time was very happy about their engagement.
“Both Lynn and Brad obviously didn’t want to get married and wanted a small party to celebrate primarily with family and a few friends,” the father said.
“My wife was very upset and put pressure on Lynn until she reluctantly agreed to plan the wedding.”
However, “not even a week later,” Lynn and her mother bowed their heads over flowers, and the young bride headed back to her new home in Louisiana—where she and her fiancé made a tough decision.
“Lynn announced that they have eloped and will be planning a small intimate get together in New Orleans around Halloween time,” the father wrote. “My wife lost it, she and Lynn had a huge argument on the phone which led to them not speaking.”
Now, Lynn’s mother has tears in her eyes whenever the situation is discussed.
“After a few weeks of this nonsense, I finally lashed out and said, ‘Why are you surprised? Lynn didn’t want to get married in the first place! She’s our least traditional child!'” The post went on to say that the father told his Told his wife to “stop crying about it” and just look forward to the future marriages of his other children.
“My wife called me names and kept avoiding me…It also felt wrong that she tried to force [a big traditional wedding] On Lynn.”
Many commentators sided with the father and said that it was up to the mother as to how the marriage happened so quickly.
,[Lynn] Didn’t want to get married. And when she agreed to a small wedding, your wife tried to push her into a small wedding,” one person wrote.
“Lynn clearly expressed her desire for a small celebration, and it is not fair to your wife to push her into something she did not want. If this continues, it could really damage their relationship,” added another.
Meanwhile, a third wrote a tough truth to swallow.
“Does your wife realize that perhaps she was the reason for your daughter’s escape? If he had let Lynn have the wedding she wanted, I’m sure both of you would have been invited to the short list of guests.
