I always thought of myself as a decent mother. I made a concerted effort to avoid being a helicopter mom or one of those obnoxious “moms” you see online today.
He became quite a gentleman after I taught him to respect women and the elderly and stand up for the weak.
I was really happy to bring Carrie home when my son Connor brought her here. Who would have thought that their wedding would be a complete failure?
Naturally, I looked around a bit.
She didn’t ask my son for expensive gifts, she drove a relatively cheap old car and took public transport when it broke down, and her gifts for us were always tasteful but never extravagant. Overall, she looked like an ordinary girl.
I knew she regularly treated herself to a fancy dinner at a fancy restaurant or a weekend at the spa, but I just put it down to her amazing money management skills. Don’t you think every woman deserves to be pampered once in a while?
You can only imagine my surprise when we were picked up in a luxury car after planning to meet her folks! Their family had enough money to spend because her father owned a well-known construction company. Their child lived so modestly that her mother explained their arrangement to me when I asked.
They promised to help her start her own company but refused to cover her daily expenses.
Naturally, they would also cover the expenses of their daughter’s dream wedding.
Connor’s eyes lit up as Carrie revealed that she was still in the process of creating a business strategy. He saw this as a great opportunity because, as you may know, he’s always wanted to start a tech company since he was a kid, but we never had the funding and he had trouble getting grants.
On the way back he told Carrie what he was doing and she quickly agreed. They talked about it often and I was excited to see them start their company as a future family. Carrie even suggested meeting with investors immediately after their wedding. I wish I knew it would all be over soon.
Carrie was acting different and I noticed as the wedding approached. She tried her best to accommodate my son’s requests for their business, but I could see she was struggling. She politely dismissed my questions when I asked if there was a problem. Although at first, I thought it was family issues or a little fight with Connor, I have to admit I considered the possibility that she might be pregnant.
But I decided to pause for a while and let the kids figure things out on their own. I didn’t notice Carrie’s anxious appearance on her wedding day. Who wouldn’t be concerned, given that she was the bride and her father had invited many influential people?
I noticed her maid of honor, Susan, conversing with Connor as she took her position at the table, nodding and accepting praise. I was amazed to see that they were having a heated argument, but I knew it was better to get inside. I felt something terrible was going to happen.
The crowd fell silent as the matron of honor raised her glass to signal the beginning of the speeches.
She looked like someone who knew they were going to die. She began with the usual greetings and thanks before revealing some shocking information.
“Carrie. You spent many years as my closest friend. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for myself. This whole situation has to stop. I’ve been having an affair with Connor for several months now.” There was silence with his eyes fixed on the bride.
She let out a booming, almost demonic laugh that surprised everyone. She nailed it with “Wow, Susie.” “I’m so glad you could come. I supposed I’d have to speak for myself.” “See, I knew you two weren’t to be trusted by the way you looked at each other,” she said, standing up and walking over to Susan. So I secretly placed cameras all over the house. What do you think I witnessed? In my love nest, two lovebirds!
She grabbed Susan’s microphone and pulled it away. With the help of my father, we managed to create a fantastic prenuptial agreement, which my future husband signed without reading.
If you’re wondering what you signed, the adultery penalty is void. Keep calm guys! I put a slow-acting laxative in your cake! “Enjoy your first night together.
The ensuing chaos can only be described as a tidal wave.
The bride and her family watched from afar as people spit out the cake and ran to the bathroom.
Carrie came over and took my hand when she saw how confused I was. It’s okay, Mrs. Green. I’ve always had amazing luck with you. You can taste the cake.
When I walked out of the wedding hall that day, I was very devastated. There was only one thing I was positive about: I didn’t think I knew the man he had raised.Â
The conclusion of this stormy wedding day leaves Mrs. Green in a state of deep shock and disillusionment. What started as hope for her son Connor and his fiancee Carrie turned into a dramatic revelation that shattered not only her dreams of a happy marriage for them but also her trust in the people closest to her. The unexpected revelation of the affair and the bizarre retaliation during the lace cake wedding reception and public confrontation left Mrs. Green reeling in disbelief. As she reflects on the events that transpired, she struggles with the realization that her understanding of her son and his fiancée was deeply flawed. Now, faced with the aftermath of such a chaotic and heartbreaking day, Mrs. Green must question her judgment and the future of her family dynamic, forever changed by this shocking turn of events.
