Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML

Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML
Today, my wedding is scheduled for next week. Today is also the day my whole family had an epic falling out, resulting in my mother disowning my brother. Apart from having them taking turns sobbing at me through the phone, they're also not coming to the wedding. I paid the hotel rooms in advance. FML
Today, six weeks before my wedding, my mother decided to claim that she never agreed on paying for it and that she doesn't think she will. Now I have six weeks to scavenge enough cash for the wedding she planned in the first place. FML

...Why would you do that? They obviously only did it for the gifts.

That's disgusting! You'd think people who have an adult child would be mature enough not to do things like that, I'm so sorry for you.

Thats ****** up. I mean seriously. They should have the decency to reinburse you..though i have to admit its not exactly a guarantee. GL, and may any and all of your marriages last longer then these two's.

That is messed up. And, I know this doesn't matter since OBVIOUSLY they don't care about etiquette at all.... but gifts should be returned. And two weeks *may* just call for an annulment, it is such a short period of time. I'd check local law, since they have changed in the last few years. Either way, that sucks.

#17- marriage ISN'T an industry, its an important religious/personal/emotional ceremony.

#22 & #45 : I'm glad you both think marriage is this spectacular thing, but as far as the business of marriage in America, as long as the state is involved, it's not about religion or love.

Why did you pay for a quarter of their wedding? Unless you have so much extra money that it doesn't matter, that's insane...
