Wedding NEARLY RUINED after groom’s dad makes a harsh announcement
- Replies 17
One of the biggest, if not the biggest, milestones in one's lifetime is a wedding day. We spend several months planning everything to make the day memorable because it's the ultimate declaration of love for the person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with. However, with so much pressure for the day to go right, so much can go wrong.
A groom has taken to Reddit to ask for advice, claiming his bride is ‘heartless’ for getting enraged when his father shamelessly decided to make a harsh announcement on their wedding day.
He starts off the post saying: "My beautiful wife and I got married a few weeks ago and she’s still annoyed with me about this situation…”
"My dad asked my mom for a divorce at the wedding, which I get is pretty messed up, but my mom's very reserved in public. I heard them fighting a bit during pictures and he asked if she loved him more than her job and she answered that honestly she doesn’t and doesn’t think she could ever love any person more than her job. He took his wedding band off and handed it to her."

He mentioned that as soon as his grandparents found out about all the unnecessary commotion he caused, they approached his dad and ‘yelled at him’.
"Everyone did turn and stare but the groomsmen broke it up pretty quickly…" he explained.
"My wife was furious and wanted everyone involved kicked out. My grandparents were asked to leave but I wanted my dad to stay. My mom left shortly after on her own."
He said his new wife has openly told him that she had ‘lost respect’ for her father-in-law for nearly ruining the wedding and demanded an apology.
"I said she was being heartless and she needs to understand that he was hurt and not trying to ruin anything and I said he doesn’t owe us an apology when he didn’t cause the drama. She accused me of not caring enough about our wedding."
The story posted on the forum ‘r/AmITheA**hole’ was engulfed with a whopping 1,300k comments along with 4,000 upvotes. The majority of the users are on the bride’s side and went on to share their disapproval of the dad’s actions in the comments section.
“Of all the days of the years, op's dad chose THE WEDDING CEREMONY (not even wedding day, the f*cking ceremony) and demands a divorce in a very dramatic way. And op is ok with this? Op do I need to remind you this is your wedding? He did this TO YOU too," one person argued.

"Your father decided to bring up this issue at the wedding knowing your mother is reserved in public. He knew she would not make a scene…" another wrote.
"He is the cause of the issues at the wedding and is extremely selfish for using your wedding to do this. He owes your wife an apology, and you owe her one as well for ignoring her feelings about the situation, when they are extremely valid."
“Total calculated move on OP's father's part. He knew exactly what he was doing. Using a wedding as a place to stage your life event is selfish. The wedding is about the people getting married," a third added.
The groom eventually gave in to the masses and realized he’s on the wrong side with the following response: "I am being more sympathetic to my dad than my wife. I see why she is upset and I don’t want to invalidate her feelings. She feels unsupported."
Talk about being dramatic, huh? What would you have felt if you were in the bride’s shoes? Comment your thoughts down below!
