My MIL PUSHED MY MOM INTO THE MUD on my wedding! The wedding ceremony Ben and I planned was supposed to be by a lake. My mom Donna spent months helping me plan. She’s the kindest person you could ever meet and people liked her. That was apparently enough to make my MIL, Karen, furious. Karen is one of those women who treats attention like oxygen — and if someone else gets it, she suffocates. From the beginning of the wedding day, Karen made snide comments. Also, she came to my wedding IN WHITE. I just ignored her. Later, the photographer lined everyone up to take pictures by the lake. My mom stood next to me, fixing my veil. It was such a sweet moment. Then, out of nowhere, Karen let out this fake laugh and said, “Oh, careful, Donna, your heel’s sinking into the mud!” My mom looked down — and that’s when Karen SHOVED HER. My mom lost her balance and went straight down into the mud. Her light blue dress was splattered brown. People gasped. Karen just stood there with a smug smile and said, “Oh my God! DONNA, YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL! It’s not my fault that you’re CLUMSY!” Ben ran forward to help my mom up. She tried to laugh it off, but her voice was trembling. I… just stood there horrified. All I could think of was Karen had done it ON PURPOSE. Ben’s dad, Tom, walked over slowly. He’s usually a man who NEVER raises his voice. But in that moment, something in his expression changed. He looked at my mom, covered in mud, then at Karen, and then said, low and steady, “Everyone, please take a look at Karen.” ⬇️

My wedding day by the lake was meant to be magical — soft breezes, golden sunset, and the people we loved most around us. My mom, who…
