Today, at my wedding, the minister forgot to skip the "Does anyone object?" part. My mother stood up and gave a lengthy reason, which caused my future in-laws to start shouting. It turned into a small riot, and no, we're not married now. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got married and my mom refused to be there because my dad, whose guts she hates, was there even though I promised repeatedly that I would keep them apart. I couldn't do the mother-son dance. She keeps insisting that it was a "lapse in judgment." Yeah, like we're really going to be able to have a do-over. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. Midway through the ceremony, my visibly drunk uncle stood up and denounced the minister for "preaching yer god shite where it weren't never be welcome". FML
Today, during my wedding ceremony, the groom-to-be found it appropriate to blurt out about an ongoing affair with my maid of honor. They got married instead. FML
Today, my parents had a huge fight because my mom found out my dad was cheating on her. They screamed for half an hour. Right in the middle of my wedding. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. When my soon-to-be-husband was saying his vows, he didn't say my name. He said his mother's. FML
Today, I was supposed to get married. I called it off only 20 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to begin because I saw my fiance punch his own mother in the face. FML
Today, I was at my sister's wedding. Everything was going flawlessly. That is, until our visibly drunk mom started a punch-up over who got to cut the cake first. FML
Today, it was supposed to be my wedding but my fiancé insisted we be married by his childhood priest, a real bible thumper. This arsehole tried to change our vows at the altar and told me wives should know their place, so I slapped him and the wedding is delayed until we get a new priest. FML
Today, my family got mad at me for eloping and not inviting them to my wedding. Even though they admitted they wouldn't have gone anyway. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. With my best friend as the priest, she asked, "Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" After saying I do, she then turned to him and asked, "Do you want to bang my friend?" Everyone laughed, except my already disapproving father. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why not? You don't need to let foolish families ruin your relationship. Go away and get married somewhere exotic, alone. :D

Damn in-laws, or maybe in this case out-laws.

if I knew my mother hated my other half and could prob make a scene, she would be at home for my wedding. my decision, not hers who I marry. if mom kept this to herself until that moment though fml...

I am guessing since op said he forgot to skip, they were already aware of the mother's feelings towards the marriage. That said however it's not always easy to just exclude certain family from your wedding.

Friendly tip: don't invite your parents next time.

You shouldn't have invited anyone that had objections to your wedding. They obviously didn't respect it enough. And maybe since you knew she had objections, you should have discussed it before the ceremony...

I hope you and your fiancé can put this behind you, book a trip, get married without any guests and have a rocking honeymoon. So sorry your family ruined your special day for you

If you knew your mother would react that way if the minister said that part react that way, you and your fiance probably should've eloped or not invited her to the wedding.

I've started to watch that "Four Weddings" show and love seeing when both the father and mother walk their daughter down the aisle. (: Your mother took the wrong time to voice her opinion. Unless something major happened that very morning to make her think otherwise. Sorry about your ruined wedding.

I love that show. But some of the brides can be vicious!

Total bridezilla's! When I got married I went down the isle by myself. I love my parents but honestly I was so against the idea that someone was going to give me away to my husband I wanted to do it alone. Although I was so excited I apparently walked really fast down the isle lol my parents would have slowed me down.

Plan the wedding again and invite everyone... but get married beforehand in a private ceremony and make the announcement when everyone shows up for the "wedding." Turn it into a huge party, and please please please, don't let your family come between you and your fiance.

Hun I have no idea what universe you are living in but in this world weddings are expensive normally. Its not something you can just "plan again" right on the tail end of bad or failed one. Better to go to a court house and then head straight for the honeymoon if they were having one.

NEVER let some immature little brat put your relationship to a screeching halt like that. Plan a romantic getaway, go marry your fiancé(e), and never speak to your despicable mother again.
