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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

Why did she get drunk on your wedding day

Why would she get drunk on her daughter's wedding day?

Alright, I need to know. How exactly are people coming to the conclusion that she deserves this?! Are there just a bunch of misanthropes that come on here to thrive on human misery?! o.O

That really stinks op. Hope she sobered up and didn't entirely ruin the ceremony. Congrats on marriage!

Your mom needs to get her priorities straight. You marriage or the drinks. Drinks won for some reason

Ugh. Here is how OP assigned tasks for her wedding: You, pick up the bouquets. You, tie the bows to the pews. You, make sure the guestbook is set out with a couple of pens. You, make sure someone is there to babysit Mom.

I hope your mom gets hit by a truck.

I would have told her to leave then. Or had someone drive her home since she was drunk. When it comes to things like that sometimes you just have to make stark decisions and focus on the task at hand and right then was your happiness, months of planning and a future with someone you love.

Wow that isn't cool. Is your mother getting help for her condition ?
