Yourweddingis supposed to be one of the happiest moments of your life, so of course you want your loved ones around to share the joy. However, when Reddit userMotherEffort5978and his partner broke the news to their families, not everyone was happy for the couple.
His fiancé’s mom said she didn’t consider it to be a “real” ceremony because it wasn’t heterosexual. If that wasn’t enough, the lady added that she was going to wear white to the event. Her rationale was “No bride, no problem.”
So the men started devising a plan for how to stop her from ruining their big day.

It’s very difficult to understand why the lady is so stubborn
Currently, same-sex marriageis legalin 36 countries: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Uruguay.
In anupdateto his story, the author of the post said he is not from one of them, which definitely makes life harder for him and his partner.
Of course, we don’t know the true reason behind her disapproval, but there’s no real reason why she, or the broader public for that matter, should worry. A 2024reportfrom RAND and UCLA showed that over the 20 years that same-sex couples have been able to marry in the United States, there have been no negative effects on marriage, divorce, or cohabitation among different-sex couples.
“Some of those who opposed the granting of marriage rights to same-sex couples predicted that doing so would undermine the institution of marriage, resulting in fewer couples marrying, more couples divorcing, and an overall retreat from family formation,”saidstudy coauthor Benjamin R. Karney, a UCLA psychology professor and adjunct researcher at RAND, a nonprofit research organization. “Overall, the fears of opponents of same-sex marriage simply have not come to pass.”
Hopefully the Redditor’s mother-in-law will come around as well. Life’s too short to dwell hate on those who don’t deserve it.
