Today, I got married. The minister pronounced us husband and wife using our first names. Except he used my husband's ex-wife's name. I happened to glance at my mother-in-law who was almost in tears from laughing so hard. FML
jellenwood tells us more.
OP here! So, this was several years ago. Apparently his family didn't want want him to marry me and never wanted him to divorce his first wife. His father is the one who performed the wedding. He called me the wrong name several times during the ceremony. I don't know if he did it on purpose or not. Friends later tell me it wasn't just his mother that was laughing but many members of his family but I just couldn't hear them. H

That's really messed up, OP. Some terrible in-laws you have. I hope things are better now.

That mother in law needs some one to tell her that, thats ain't funny. But it is actually hurtful

A) how'd you manage to get a minister happy to marry a divorcee? B) why would the minister know her name? Weird....

I love doing pranks, but I find that one going too far. Your husband could have least said something about it.

I'm sooo sorry... I truly understand. The minister at my wedding asked who was giving this "man" away... I am actually a VERY feminine woman... And to top it off, my inlaws won't accept me or our children to this day... And keep my husbands picture with his ex wife in their living room... But hey, we've one been married 20 years... Good luck! I hope you have a strong sense of humor and a husband who will stand behind you!

What a rude and disrespectful start of your marriage. Already you know where you stand with the on-laws. Bottom line is you got the man, so the last laugh is yours.
