Ever since Nicole began planning her wedding, her mother became very involved, eagerly offering

help at every turn. When Nicole gently asked her to take a step back, her mother obliged, but her enthusiasm never truly faded.

On the big day, however, Nicole’s mother showed up wearing a full wedding dress, claiming she

received a call instructing her to do so. Nicole was left both bewildered and furious,

desperate to uncover who had preyed on her mother’s emotions and sabotaged this special day.

From the beginning, Nicole had wanted a smooth, simple wedding. Unlike other girls who grew

up envisioning their dream ceremonies, her only specific desire had been to have cupcakes at

the reception. However, she also knew her mother’s deep, unfulfilled dreams of planning a

wedding, as her parents had never married; her father had left before Nicole was even born.

When wedding planning started, Nicole’s mother threw herself into every detail with enthusiasm,

picking flowers, cakes, and table settings as if it were her own event. One day, as she watched

her mom pore over the wedding notebook, Nicole gently asked her to take a step back, fearing her

mother was over-involved. Her mother’s smile in response was understanding but quiet, and Nicole immediately felt a pang of guilt.

Thankfully, her mother respected her wishes, stepping back just enough while still staying in touch with Anna, the wedding planner, to check on final preparations.

On the morning of the wedding, Nicole arrived at the church with an eager anticipation.

But as she stepped into the bride’s dressing room, she was met with a shocking sight—her mother,

dressed in a bridal gown, holding a pair of shoes, grinning as if in a dream.

“Mom? What are you doing?” Nicole stammered, stunned.

Her mother’s face beamed as she twirled in the gown. “I got a call saying you wanted us

to share the wedding day! I couldn’t believe it because you didn’t mention it, but it made me so happy!”

Nicole’s heart sank as she asked, “Who called you?” Her mother hesitated, realizing something was wrong.

“Your wedding planner… I think,” she murmured uncertainly.

Nicole quickly called Anna, demanding answers. Anna assured her that it wasn’t her idea, though

she admitted her boss, Miranda James, had requested Nicole’s mother’s number. The name Miranda

James made Nicole’s blood run cold—she knew this was the name of Peter’s ex.

Leaving her mother in the dressing room, Nicole stormed off to find Peter, explaining the entire

situation. Peter was equally stunned and enraged. Together, they went straight to Miranda’s

office, determined to confront her. They found her behind her desk, her face smug.

“Why did you do this?” Peter asked.

“I thought it’d be a fun surprise,” Miranda replied with a smirk, clearly reveling in their distress.

“This is low, even for you,” he replied, his voice filled with contempt. The exchange escalated,

with each accusation feeding Miranda’s twisted satisfaction. Nicole, fed up with the scene,

decided to turn the tables. She took out her phone and recorded a quick video explaining the

incident, exposing Miranda’s interference and tagging every vendor they had hired for their wedding.
