Laurel, my husband’s mother, made it apparent right away that I wasn’t suitable for her son. We still had a wonderful moment, but she subtly left me out and ruined our engagement by pretending to have a heart attack.
During our vows on our wedding day, Laurel went one step further and splattered red paint on my dress. I remained composed in spite of the shock, and my husband ejected her. With the help of our guests, the ceremony went on.
When pictures of the incident went viral online, her actions backfired, resulting in both financial difficulties and social isolation. In the meantime, my spouse and I continued to advance with greater strength than before.
