Today, my mom sent me beautiful candlesticks along with some half burned candles. I thanked her. She told me the candlesticks were a wedding gift to my grandmother 85 years ago. Then she said the candles were used at my grandma's wedding. I had already lit them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom lit a candle in our living room, telling the family how much she loved it. She then went on the tell us that my dad got it for her and it must have been some cheap candle. I bought the candle as a gift for her on her birthday. FML
Today, I dug out the 5 fancy, extremely expensive candles I bought during Black Friday. I lit one up, and was delighted that it smelled so great. My mother then walked into my room and stated that it smelled "like shit". The other four were going to be a Christmas gift for her. FML
Today, I was at my friend's house and accidentally blew out a candle that was supposed to be lit for seven days straight. It was in honor of her grandmother who had recently died. FML
Today, my mother-in-law gave me a toaster and a fork as a wedding gift. FML
Today, my mother scolded me for having a lighter in my room. My reason I had it? The candle that she bought me for my 25th birthday. I don't even live with her anymore, she showed up uninvited, and started going through my stuff. FML
Today, my mom and I were talking about a wedding decoration that we are going to use at my wedding. I insisted that I gave the decorations to her and I didn’t bother looking in my house. She came over for the night and cleaned while I was at work. She found the decorations that I'd insisted that I'd given to her. FML
Today, I found a box of birthday candles sitting on the coffee table. Bored, I lit one, and after a minute I threw it away and sat back down on the couch. I started looking at the box and noticed that it said "Magic Re-Lighting Candles" at the exact moment that my trash can burst into flames. FML
Today, I was having a garage sale and my mother-in-law came by to see what I was selling. She decided to buy these ugly green wine glasses that were still unopened. It turns out that she gave those to my wife and me when we got married. FML
Today, my family was celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday. I pulled a little prank and got candles that keep relighting. After a few blows, my grandma fainted. FML
Today, I was supposed to light candles at my aunt's wedding. I accidentally lit the groom on fire. FML

Wow I never knew candles were that sentimental? What other useless stuff are you going to save? The toilet your grandfather took his last shit in?

That's what I was wondering. That seems like the kind of thing somebody would send with a letter or picture explaining their significance. Otherwise, the receiver might wonder why they were getting used candles.

19, are you really that stupid? The reason the candles are sentimental is that they were a gift at her grandmother's wedding. Do you see how that's a bit different than a toilet?

No, candles just arent sentimental. Candlesticks, yes. Candles, no.

How is that an fml? What would you do with candles besides light them? On second thoughts, not sure I want to know the answer to that.

Dang it #2, now you put thoughts in my head about the possibly use of candlesticks. Darn the pregnant pause...

one chick used her moms special candles for masterbating; then her mom used then and it smelled like burnt vag. cause the wick absorbed the juices.
hmmmummhmmm 0
I don't understand why her mom lit them if their "special" candles, unless her mom claimed them to be special cuz she secretly used them for the same purpose. so it'd be hard to tell which persons burnt vag smell it was. either way, that is totally gross!

It seems like none of you guys realize that the significance of the candles were that they belonged to her grandmother. That's like saying "oh that doll that my mother played with when she was a child and that she passed onto me is worthless now that I don't play with it."

They belonged to her grandmother, and she might have been expected to use them at *her* wedding...

The OP was obviously not at the wedding. It was her GRANDMA'S wedding, that was 85 years ago. The OP wasn't even alive then, so how could he/she be at the wedding?

Wow, maybe stop being retarded, he obviously wasn't being sarcastic, or anything.
