Woman Demands to Cancel Son’s Wedding after Recognizing Bride’s Father – Story of the Day
Fred and Alice’s wedding ceremony was about to begin when Fred’s mother, Valerie, recognized Alice’s father, Felix, as a one-night-stand from the past. The older woman told the couple that they couldn’t get married, and everyone was shocked to learn the reason.
“I can’t believe you would do this here, mother! This can’t be true!” Fred yelled at his mother, Valerie, after she revealed something terrible about her past. “How do I tell Alice about this? This is our wedding! You’ve ruined it!”
“Fred, I had to tell you before it was too late. Can you imagine if you had discovered this after or when you had children? That would have been a catastrophe!” Valerie snapped at her son, who refused to see reason. She was doing the right thing for everyone.

“What is going on? I heard you guys yelling from the bridal room,” Alice asked, appearing suddenly. The bridal room was just the basement of the church they had rented for their wedding. Valerie had pulled Fred towards a more private area to tell him the truth and avoid alerting the guests of anything amiss. But she never expected Alice to hear them arguing.
“Oh, Alice, dear. I’m so sorry to tell you this, but….” Valerie began. After hearing the terrible news, the bride broke down in tears and collapsed in a heap on the floor.
Valerie arrived at St. John’s Roman Catholic Church in Newark, New Jersey, for her son’s wedding. It was only a few hours until the ceremony, but as the groom’s mother, she didn’t have a huge role except walking him down the aisle. Regardless, she hoped to check on her future daughter-in-law, Alice, in her wedding dress before they tied the knot.
Fred and his groomsmen were in the chapel, while some of Alice’s bridesmaids were arranging a few things around the spacious area. Everything was going well as guests started to arrive. Valerie checked on Alice in the bridal room for a few minutes then came out to greet guests with her son.
