Today, minutes before I walked down the aisle at my wedding, my drunk mother stumbled up to me and told me she was depressed and wanted to leave. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying at my after-wedding party, after promising she'd behave herself. She thinks my husband is an awful person who'll drag me into a life of sin, all because he has a tattoo and an ear piercing. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and tried to push me off a ladder. 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, my very drunk mother decided to run down the block naked, screaming at the top of her lungs, "She's trying to kill me!" as I followed behind her in my car, yelling for her to get in. 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, as my husband and I were leaving our wedding reception, my mother-in-law hugged me and whispered in my ear, "You're gonna do great tonight!" FML
Today, my mom left the house in the morning, leaving me alone. I called and I got no answer. Hours later, she finally answers one of my calls and tells me that she'd been in an AA meeting all this time. Happy, I tell her to come home. She came home drunk. FML
Today, my alcoholic mother decided to finally check herself into rehab. She did it while drunk, and flirted with the front attendant. FML
Today, my "future" wife got drunk in front of my parents, who she was meeting for the first time. She called my dad a piece of shit and told my mom she wants to tear her own eyes out. FML
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

Hopefully she felt horrible once she sobered up. I bet your wedding was great and wonderful. Congratulations, OP!

Sounds like it's time to pump some more alcohol into her so that she passes out and misses the whole thing!

I'm so sorry that your mother had to take all the attention away from you on your special day OP :/ She should be ashamed of herself

She was just so depressed that her little girl is growing up and no longer needs her. Congratulations and many happy years to you OP!

I don't understand how any mother could be so selfish and want to take away attention from her daughter on her special day. I hope she didn't take your mind away from all of the wonderful aspects of getting married. Congratulations!

To me, it doesn't seem like she meant to do it. I think she's just sad that her little girl is growing up.

I'm guessing her wedding wasn't as nice as yours and she got upset

Some parents just can't handle letting their children get on with their lives.
