Bride Left Baffled After Her Mom Explains Why She Should Get Married Way Later
Postponing a wedding is quite common nowadays. Planning takes a long time, and sometimes the unexpected happens, so, rather than have an imperfect wedding, many couples choose to reschedule. In fact, about 20% of couples call off their weddings, but usually the reasons are inside the relationship itself: infidelity, irreconcilable differences, or changed priorities.
Seldom does a couple postpone or call off their wedding because their in-laws request it. Yet, that’s exactly what this mother asked of her daughter. She requested that she not get married the year she turns 50, as that would take the spotlight off her. Unsure of whether this was a reasonable request, the bride decided to seek advice online.

Oh come on. Have the wedding whenever you want to. F.uck the mom and her "birthday year". 🙄 I turned 50 last year and didn't even celebrate for an entire day! I wouldn't want her involved in the wedding planning anyway - she's a selfish idiot.
