She’ll love him till the day he lies.
A newlywed is considering jumping ship one week after tying the knot because of her husband’s deceitful behavior during the wedding.
“Overall, his family seemed to be prioritizing their own interests and needs over what was best for us as a couple,” the 25-year-old newlywed fumed in a now-deleted Reddit post.
She explained that the problems began during the “rehearsal dinner” at a venue owned by her parents, who she said granted her future in-laws permission to host the pre-wedding festivities, People reported.
Due to a communication mishap, the bride claimed that the groom’s parents mistakenly thought they could use the flower bouquets arranged by the bride’s family florist for free.
When someone informed them they’d need to pay $400, the in-laws raised a stink at the rehearsal dinner, which left the bride feeling “deeply embarrassed.”
“During dinner, his parents made loud comments to my husband and me about not knowing they had to pay for the flowers, clearly within earshot of my parents,” she recalled. “Bringing it up in the middle of dinner created unnecessary tension and made me feel uncomfortable when we were supposed to be enjoying the evening.”
Things deteriorated further during the wedding, when the woman’s in-laws ignored the agreed-upon photo schedule and requested additional portraits behind her back, bleeding into the allotted time for the bridal photo-op, People reported.
When the Redditor broached these concerns with her beau, he dismissed them as no big deal.
Then, 15 minutes before the ceremony, the bride was informed that the groom’s 15-year-old sister would be giving a speech even though speeches were supposed to have occurred at the rehearsal — another imposition her other half didn’t seem too concerned about.
The sibling’s request seemed particularly brazen given that the groom claimed he’d informed his sis about the speech policy.
It was only later that she learned that “her husband]had lied about telling his sister to give her speech at the rehearsal [instead of the wedding].”
Despite the nuptial-ruining rampage, the bride texted the groom telling him not to broach the matter with his parents, only for him to ignore her and inform them anyway.
That was reportedly the final straw and the bride felt like she needed to annul the marriage.
When she ran the idea past her fellow Redditors, many claimed that she was overreacting.
“Annulments are for when you find out he has a secret family in England, not because your wedding didn’t go as planned,” said one.
“You’re turning little administrative things for a wedding into a character flaw,” accused another. “You can annul your wedding and say your husband doesn’t even care about you but it’s over little things like speeches at a wedding, photographs being taken at a wedding, and flowers at a wedding. What about your entire dating life??”
They added, “How did we get here that we’re basing a huge life decision off of in-laws’ behavior on wedding day instead of an entire full relationship that we’ve had well outside of one wedding day??”
“This is all general wedding stress — nothing remotely unusual about it,” said a third. “I feel like if you’re already willing to call it quits you probably weren’t that invested in the first place.”
