A wedding guest recently shared a story on Reddit about a bride who lost her mind when she saw her new husband dancing with his mom at their wedding.

Wedding stress brings out a side of people that usually shocks everyone.

The Reddit user who goes by the name Ymirshiddentalent posted the story on one of the site’s Bridezillas forums. He started off by saying that the bride’s father had died when she was younger and how that ultimately effected the traditional events of the big day.

“She didn’t want anyone else to walk her down the aisle and walked alone, which in my personal opinion, is understandable considering the circumstance, albeit unusual,” he wrote. “However, there was a stipulation that her future mother-in-law and her fiancé were not allowed, under any circumstances, to have the formal ‘mother-son dance’ because she couldn’t have a ‘daddy-daughter dance.’ When she informed her fiancé and future mother-in-law, the mother-in-law was very upset, because the fiancé is her only child (!), but the bride refused to budge.”

Not a fan of the bride’s request, the the groom’s mother ultimately agreed not to have a mother-son dance at the wedding. Turns out — she didn’t really agree to it.

“The night had been going on for some time and eventually a slow dance rolled around,” the story continues. “The mother-in-law and son took that opportunity to dance together and share a moment. The family of the groom, totally unaware of the bride’s unofficial rule, begin cheering as they watched them dance together, people started taking pictures, a crowd formed.”

According to the post, the bride was set off.

“The bride, who was already not happy when she saw the two of them begin dancing, is now FUMING,” the post continued. “She ran outside the banquet hall to the bathroom and had a huge hissy fit complete with mascara tears, swearing, ranting and raving.”

Apparently this sequence of events didn’t ruin the marriage, it’s still a little bit concerning though.

Honestly, unfortunate things happen to people all of the time, however, just because you don’t get to experience something in your life doesn’t mean you should take it away from others.

Reddit users were understanding of the bride’s wishes, even if they didn’t completely agree with them.

“That’s tough, losing a parent is hard,” wrote one user. “But I don’t agree with her actions. You want so bad for your parent to be there to dance I get it. To take it away from someone whose parents are there, just isn’t the right way to go about it. You don’t take something away because you don’t have it.”

Others were less understanding, with one response reading, “Imagine going through the remainder of your marriage being told ‘you cannot share special moments with your parents because I can’t.'”
