My MIL Called My Quiet Mom \u2018Ugly\u2019 at My Wedding \u2013 She Couldn\u2019t Stand Up for Herself, but I DidMy mother-in-law branded my quiet mother \u201cugly\u201d at my wedding, and I just<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t let it go. I thought I had the ideal revenge plot, but when the backlash started, I realized I might have gone too far.For the hundredth time, I adjusted my veil as I stood in front of the mirror. My hands were trembling; perhaps from excitement or nerves? Mum appeared behind me, teary-eyed.<\/p>\n
She whispered, \u201cYou look beautiful, Sophia.\u201dI looked up at her, admiring her modest, black outfit. \u201cMom, thank you. You too have a wonderful appearance.\u201dShe fidgeted at her dress\u2019s hem. \u201cAre you sure it\u2019s not too plain?\u201d I told her, \u201cIt\u2019s perfect,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re perfect.\u201dMom gave me a grin, but I could see doubt in her eyes. Her preference was to<\/p>\n
disappear into the background due to her bashful nature. But I wanted her to be the star of today. \u201cCome on,\u201d I replied, putting my arm around hers. \u201cLet\u2019s go knock \u2019em dead.\u201dThe event was a haze.<\/p>\n
As I came down the aisle, Michael\u2019s eyes met mine, and before I knew it, we were saying \u201cI do.\u201d We turned to face our guests, and that\u2019s when I saw my new mother-in-law, Vivian, looking stunning in her jewel-encrusted gown.I was ecstatic to be at the reception. Michael and I went around introducing ourselves,<\/p>\n
extending greetings and accepting congrats. Mom was standing at the punch bowl by herself, and she looked uneasy.I moved over. \u201cHaving fun?\u201d She gave a nod, but her eyes did not grin. \u201cObviously, my dear. You look amazing in that dress.\u201d\u201cMom, thank you. I \u2014 \u201c \u201cWell, well,\u201d someone interrupted. With a glass of champagne in hand, Vivian emerged. \u201cEvelyn, dear, that\u2019s certainly an\u2026 interesting choice of attire.\u201d Mom\u2019s face reddened.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, I\u2019m very grateful. Vivian, your dress is equally gorgeous.\u201dA small smirk formed on Vivian\u2019s lips. \u201cYes, well, some of us like to make an effort for important occasions.\u201dI started to bite back, but Mom grabbed my arm instead. Why don\u2019t you go dance with Michael, Sophia? This day is unique for you.\u201d I reluctantly left them, but I stayed close to Mom all night. She retreated to the room\u2019s corners, appearing to get smaller.My phone buzzed the following morning when Michael and I were eating breakfast. Jen, my cousin, was there. She said, \u201cHey, how\u2019s the newlywed?\u201dFantastic! even if I\u2019m wornout.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
