“Mother Nature Said ‘Not Today’”: Blizzard Stops MIL From Making Last-Minute Changes To Wedding

It’s common for parents to pay for their children’s weddings. According to The Knot Real Weddings Study, the couple pays about 48% of the wedding expenses, and the parents cover the remaining 52%. But there’s a downside to letting parents pay for your wedding: they might feel entitled to plan the wedding to their liking.

This woman’s mother-in-law planned to arrive at the wedding venue so she could change the decorations. She and her husband even took a 12-hour drive with six boxes’ worth of decorations. However, Mother Nature sided with the newlyweds and served the in-laws a winter storm that stopped them in their tracks.

    Hi there, fellow pandas! As a person (over)educated both in social sciences and literature, I'm most interested in how we connect and behave online (and sometimes in real life too.) The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing. As a person who grew up chronically online, I now try to marry two sides of myself: the one who knows too much about MySpace, and the one who can't settle and needs to see every corner of the world.

    "I love snow. So romantic." Yeah, snow can look beautiful when first fallen, covering the world that before had become a wet, grey sludge and creating a new, prickling freshness in the air. It lightens up the world as sunlight reflects on it, instead of being absorbed by fog and barren trees. Beyond that, the real snow means a lot of hard work, cold hands and feet and soar backs, roads that are blocked and objects that have to be dug out and when it starts to melt, it's slippery sludge mingled with mud, that finds it's way into anything. Yeah, I have a love/hate situation with snow.
