Today, I got a call from my grandmother. Turns out my father found out about my elopement with my husband through my stepmother, because someone she works with told her. We were planning on it being a surprise, and telling people on Christmas. My father won't even talk to me now. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my grandma passed away the morning of my wedding a couple of days ago and my (soon-to-be ex) husband and so-called family all conspired to keep it a secret from me so as not to upset me. FML
Today, I discovered that my father is getting married. Overjoyed and confused because I didn't know he was dating, I called him up to congratulate him, and ask who she was. Apparently, his soon to be fiancée is my mother-in-law. My wife is not happy. FML
Today, my estranged father died. No one bothered to tell me, and the only reason I found out was because his wife texted my sister. When I asked about the service, I was told I was not welcome in the state he had lived in, because I was no longer family. FML
Today, I went to visit my grandparents, as my grandmother may not have long left. When my stepfather wasn't grilling my visibly uncomfortable grandad about Bible passages, my mother was trauma-dumping about how hard her life has been, and how awful her marriage to my father was. They're his parents. FML
Today, I found out that my grandmother desecrated my grandfather's grave. 14 years after his death, she dug up his body and had him cremated so that she could sell his plot back to the cemetery for money. I was the one who found out so I had to tell the rest of the family. FML
Today, my dad, who lives hours away, called and told me he was getting married. Today. As in this evening. Guess I'm not invited. FML
Today, my family and my fiancée's family met each other and my worst fear came true. My asshole dad found out my fiancée's dad is a reverend and his first sentence was, "How's the molestation business these days?" It didn't take long before a brawl erupted and we were kicked out. I'm cutting him off for good. FML
Today, I visited my grandmother who has dementia. She thought I was my father, and told me that I should never have married my mother, let alone have had children with her. FML
Today, my father got married. He left me a voicemail to tell me all about it. FML
Today, I found out my newly-divorced father is now going to marry my girlfriend's mother. Tough situation here. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why wouldn't expect this sort if thing? Your father either feels disrespected orhe dislikes your husband. YDI for not knowing that would be his reaction. Trying to shove it down people's throats as a Christmas surprise seems a bit thoughtless to me.

Wow, that really sucks but you should've been more open to your family. Think of how your dad feels, this one is your fault.

41-elopement is when two people fuse their genitalia together as a sign of their commitment without inviting anyone to witness it happen.

Agreed. OP YDI. I get it I know it's your choice and of course you can get married however you like but that's a bit inconsiderate. You can't leave your whole family, especially parents, out of your wedding AND not expect them to be angry. Deal with the consequences of your decision. BTW it wouldn't have been any better if they found out on Christmas.

thanks I wrote it just for you to read it.

probably would have been even worse if they had found out on christmas...

I though the bride's parents pay for the wedding. So your dad committed to a ton of money then found out you're blowing off the wedding.

Could be that too, but probably more annoyed that family weren't invited and some random woman found out before they did..

The bride's parents don't always pay for the wedding. They may have not had a formal ceremony, and the parents would have obviously known about something they had paid for.

If your family is a fistful of assholes, then by all means elope and ready yourself for more ass-hattery when they find out you've done and married without them. And good luck. If your family is just a little f-ed up, it's mean to exclude them, but they will forgive you in time, and you'll have a great marriage to support you in the meantime. Mazel Tov!

Yea OP parents always want to be at there kids weddings, and about the fact that the father normally walks the daughter down the aisle so you really cut him out of one of the most important things in your life. YDI

It sucks, but I don't know which is worse: the fact that she eloped, or the fact that she's selfish enough to think that would have been a great Christmas present.

Sorry, I was still half asleep. I can't see the post when I'm commenting and am too tired to rely on memory so I'll rely on the friendly neighbourhood Grammar Nazi to take care of it for me.

And, pretty much selfish. Perhaps explains the OP is spoiled brat. Making it more possibly as a "disrespected" feeling for the OP's father. Why? He tried to teach the OP good from wrong. And he ends up seeing OP running off cheating, etc. Feels betrayed father, there..

really, #25? You're making it seem like the OP is her father's property and she exists to make him happy. The OP deserves to have the type of wedding she wants and her father needs to suck it up, he already had his own wedding!
