Conservative Parents Were Not Happy With Their Son-in-Law
“This happened at one of my friend’s sibling’s weddings. Her parents are suuuuper conservative and hadn’t gotten the chance to know the daughter’s fiancé very well before they got married. In their minds all that was relevant about him was that he was 10 years older than her and had been previously divorced. They had made subtle and not-so-subtle comments here and there before the wedding that they weren’t happy about it. It should have been a forewarning of what was to come. The day of the wedding, everything was beautiful. Friend’s sister and her fiancé were ecstatic to be getting married and invited friends and family from both sides to their outdoor wedding. All was going well, until the preacher asks the audience if anyone has objections to why they should get married…. and as serious as can be, dad of the bride stands up and says “her mother and I object,” and then after a long hesitation sits back down. Silence. No one can believe that that just happened. Not knowing exactly how to handle it, the preacher just says “ok” and finishes the ceremony as planned. I can’t even imagine how the bride and groom must have felt. My friend says the tension in the room was unbelievable. But they got married all the same… they just do a lot of avoiding the ILs as one might imagine..”
