Our 20-year-old son decided to marry the girl he had been dating for two years. Since we knew that the bride’s family was struggling financially, we decided to cover all the wedding expenses.
A week before the wedding, the bride’s mother came to visit us and handed us an envelope. My husband and I were shocked. We never expected something like this from our future in-laws…
Let me tell you our story below 👇👇
«Mom, Dad, I’ve decided to get married,» our only son announced.
My husband and I were a little taken aback. He was only 20, and his fiancée was just 19.
They had been together for two years, and we always thought his girlfriend was kind and modest. We had no objections to their relationship, but we weren’t in a financial position to plan a wedding. Our son kept saying they just wanted a simple civil ceremony, but how could we deny our only child a real wedding?
The next day, my husband and I visited our future in-laws. We knew only a few things about them—her parents had been separated for years, and her mother had raised her alone. They weren’t well off, which made us certain that they couldn’t afford to contribute financially.
However, when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. The bride’s mother welcomed us warmly into a clean, cozy home with a beautifully maintained garden. She had prepared a lovely meal for us, and her hospitality was undeniable.
Knowing their financial situation, we decided to pay for everything, as long as they kept the guest list intimate.
But just a week before the big day, the bride’s mother visited us again. She handed us an envelope filled with money.
«I took this money on credit,» she said.
We were speechless. Her sincerity and kindness touched us deeply.
And then, something unexpected happened. At the wedding, my brother, who is two years older than the bride’s mother, was completely captivated by her. They spent the evening talking, dancing, and laughing. Soon after, they started dating.
Now, we’re preparing for another wedding—this time for my brother and my daughter-in-law’s mother! Life is full of surprises, and love has a way of appearing where you least expect it.
