I invited a fortune teller to my bridal party as a playful prank to rattle my difficult future mother-in-law. What started as harmless fun quickly spiraled into a shocking confrontation when the fortune teller pointed out a secret hidden in my mother-in-law’s designer bag that threatened to ruin my wedding day.
From the start, it was clear she didn’t think I was good enough for her son, Jacob. Criticizing my choices during wedding planning only deepened my suspicion that she was trying to sabotage my happiness. The fortune teller’s arrival was meant to catch her off guard, but when she ominously mentioned a secret in the bag, the atmosphere shifted.
As tension rose, the contents spilled out—my wedding dress lace. In disbelief, I learned my mother-in-law had cut threads from my dress to ruin it. She admitted she didn’t want me to marry Jacob, thinking he could do better. My mother intervened, demanding she fix the situation or be excluded from the wedding. Everything had changed in an instant.
