Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Objection!
Today, I went to the courthouse to apply for my marriage license and had my mother tag along with me. When I asked one of five security guards where to go, my mom looked at him and said,"You’re suppose to talk her out of it." Thanks, Mom. FML

Today, my hateful mother-in-law showed up unexpectedly. I faked taking a phone call so the bitter old hag would leave me alone. She then pulled out her phone, called my number, and glared at me as my phone rang against my ear. FML

It was probably mounted on the wall, but OPs mother is such a piece of shit, and doesn't respect her marriage, that she took it down and out of the frame just to write on it.

She physically wrote a phone message on the back of the OPs marriage license.

Get your own house and leave her ass behind!

Time to invest in a lock box, preferably a good, fireproof one. It'll also help with other household pests, such as kids and pets. Maybe visit a dollar store and pick up a pack of sticky notes to leave near the phone. Also, change the locks so mother-in-law can't get into the house so easily, or lock her in her cage before you leave for work. Remember, getting older means learning to stay ahead of problems, especially seemingly unlikely ones such as this one. Oh, and you can get a replacement "original" from your local government office, if the message is too personal to share with someone at a later date. Most people would probably just laugh, and take your story as more evidence that the license is authentic.

If something written on the back of that paper is bummer, you got married for the wrong reasons.
