I never expected my father to say such a thing about his daughter to his in-laws…
Has anyone else been depressed after a wedding like me? The family relationship has been so damaged that it has been 2 weeks since my husband and I visited our parents' house, even though our houses are only a few blocks apart.
My husband and I have been in love for 6 years but have no intention of getting married.
Because we saw so many broken friends and relatives around us, unhappy marriages, and countless conflicts in family life, we did not want to enter that scary world .
But man proposes, God disposes. My grandparents and my boyfriend's grandmother are both in poor health, and they have been bedridden since the beginning of the year.
All three of them said their last wish was to see their children get married. So the whole family urged us to get married, forcing us to follow their wishes.
Because it was the most important day of our lives, it took us 3 months to prepare everything. I had my wedding dress custom-made in a small workshop, simple but very beautiful.
My husband designed the invitations himself, and friends helped make the wedding gifts for the guests. A close friend sponsored the wedding flowers, and the wedding cakes were also donated by acquaintances.
However, the most important part of the wedding was not something my husband and I could choose. My parents forced us to hold the wedding at a restaurant owned by an acquaintance.
It's not that I look down on people, but when I looked at the pictures online, I found the restaurant too small, not beautifully decorated, and expensive.
Anyone who has experience organizing wedding parties, please give me a fair comment. Is 5 million for a tray of food with only boiled chicken, stir-fried ham, braised vegetables, and crab soup worth it?
While my husband and I looked at several other outdoor wedding venues, they charged a much more reasonable price per person for a buffet. At least we could have saved tens of millions of dollars on the banquet if we had chosen our choice.
But as children, we had to give in to our parents. We argued with them several times when discussing the matter, and we also had conflicts over building the theater and choosing the theater model.
My mother always complains about wasting money on everything, wants to skip it or "do it just for show" which makes me unhappy.
I am the eldest of three children, and also the first to get married. Yet my parents do not want me to have a proper wedding. They force me to do everything according to their wishes and do not care about the current wedding trends.
The ones my parents chose were all outdated, unreasonable, and more expensive than expected. But they didn't listen to our suggestions, and said our children were rude at the slightest thing, which made me very upset.

On the wedding day, all sorts of trouble happened. I asked my mother to remind everyone not to go to the bridal chamber so that the bride could put on makeup and prepare everything privately. But the neighborhood kids still ran up to my room to play, and no one controlled them and they refused to leave even when I told them to.
As a result, they broke some decorative statues on the bookshelf, then ate candy and smeared it all over my precious wedding dress.
I really wanted to cry at that time, but my close friends and my husband tried to support me to handle the unexpected incidents.
I also restrained my emotions to make my happy day more complete. However, when both families exchanged wedding gifts, I saw my biological mother giving exactly 2 taels of gold, and I felt so sad that I cried.
After taking off my wedding dress, I told my husband that I would not return to my parents' house for the time being. Too many things happened that made me sad and disappointed.
Even before the wedding party ended, the guests were still sitting and eating happily when my mother reminded them: "You must give all the wedding money here so that your parents can pay the restaurant. Because it's your wedding, not ours, you are responsible for all the expenses."
I was shocked to hear that. I never expected to be given much property when I got married, but my mother gave me only 2 taels of gold as dowry, and she even made my husband and I pay for the wedding gift money to pay for the feast!
In other families, parents love their children endlessly and spend money on everything for them. In my family, parents are afraid of losing out and force their children to shoulder everything.
I was so depressed that after the wedding I didn’t post any pictures or show anything online. Everyone was surprised and wondered why I didn’t post my wedding pictures to commemorate my happy day. I just replied that I was tired and didn’t have time to post.
After that, my parents called a lot to ask if I had paid the theater bill, the party bill, and all sorts of other bills.
I was so sad that I cried. Every day my husband had to comfort me all night before I could sleep. Other people are happy and joyful after getting married, but I was the complete opposite.
The wedding became the most horrible memory that I want to forget. If anyone asks me about that day, I just want it to disappear from my life forever.
After getting married, my husband and I still live with my husband's family, planning to rent a mini apartment next month. My husband's family supports our decision, and encourages us to have fun to relax our minds and then have children whenever we want.
I asked my mother-in-law if it was okay for me to give birth a little late, she smiled and said it was fine as long as it wasn't too late and affected my health.
Suddenly I felt happy to have a kind mother-in-law. For the past 6 years, she has always loved me and treated me like her own daughter. Maybe because she gave birth to 3 sons, all of her grandchildren are boys, so she spoils me a lot.
She is also gentle and affectionate. I rarely see her angry or upset with anyone, she is always smiling and friendly.
She gives her family her best, staying home all day to cook, clean and arrange everything carefully.
Today, my husband and I were having lunch when my mother-in-law told us to come up to her room after we finished eating. Suddenly, we both felt a little worried, afraid that something serious had happened, which is why my mother's attitude was so strange.
As soon as I sat down on the bed next to my mother-in-law, she told me that next month my husband and I wouldn't need to rent a house anymore.
My husband's eldest brother bought another house so now the old 1 bedroom apartment is empty. My mother convinced him to leave the apartment to my husband and I. The owners are my husband's parents so we didn't have to spend a penny to buy it back.
My mother suddenly gave us the house, so my husband and I were very surprised. Real estate prices are skyrocketing these days, and renting a house is also expensive, so this is such a valuable gift that my husband and I are hesitant to accept it.
My mother-in-law had to reveal a story to help my husband and I understand why she wanted to give us that house. She said that last night my father called to "gossip" with his in-laws, and the person who answered the phone was my mother-in-law.
My father complained that he hadn't heard from his daughter for a long time, so he asked how I was doing over here and if I was a "good" daughter-in-law.
He told my mother-in-law that if her daughter-in-law was naughty, she should just scold and teach her a lesson, "there's no need to feel sorry for her because scolding her will make her more obedient."
Hearing that, my mother-in-law was not happy because what my father said was a bit too much. Over the past 6 years, she has understood what kind of person I am. Although I am not perfect or talented, I have never made my husband's family upset. Not to mention that I am 32 years old, not a rash child anymore.
Then suddenly my father wondered if we had registered our marriage yet. My father-in-law, who was sitting outside, hastily replied that we would register next year, so my father jumped up and said something even more shocking: "Oh, why didn't you guys mention that to me earlier? If I knew they hadn't registered their marriage yet, I would never have let them have the wedding! Life is about responsibility, if we don't register, when we fight and leave each other, how will the children divide their assets?"
Seeing that my in-laws were talking about things that were not pleasing to my heart, my mother-in-law used the excuse of 11pm to hang up. Then she thought about how sorry she was for me, her daughter getting married and being scolded behind my back for this and that.
She also witnessed the 2-tael gold dowry incident, so she knew clearly that I was at a disadvantage. In front of so many people, my parents did not save face for their daughter.
My mother-in-law gave me even more gold that day. In total, everyone on my husband's side gave me nearly 3 taels, not counting the necklace, gold bracelet, and jade ring that relatives gave me after the wedding.
The price of gold is high, but people give me such generous gifts. Isn't that showing great affection for my husband and I?
My mother-in-law is a thoughtful and understanding person, so she felt that her in-laws did not love her daughter-in-law.
Over the years, my parents didn't pay much attention to me, but because I was carefree and started working early, I rarely worried about how my biological parents treated me.
Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law was more perceptive than me. She felt heartbroken when she saw me being ignored by my family. She herself did not care whether her children registered their marriage or not. She respected my choice with my husband.
But my biological father was upset about it and said he didn't want us to get married in front of our in-laws.
I am very grateful to my mother-in-law for giving me the house to console me. She really loves her daughter-in-law because I have never asked for anything, so she did not feel sorry for giving me the whole apartment.
She told me about that midnight phone call to let me know that she loved me very much, and hoped that even though I was sad or disappointed, I would try to overcome everything. She would take care of me for others, and she just wanted me to live happily with her son.
Listening to my mother-in-law's story, I cried like rain. Fate is truly fair, when I lose one thing, I am compensated with another...
