We poured everything into our son Jake’s wedding, covering most of the expenses. But at the reception, when his in-laws stood up and claimed
credit for everything, I was stunned.Jake’s fiancée, Lila, and her parents, Judy and Glenn, were polite but distant during
the planning. We happily agreed to cover major costs like the venue, catering, and honeymoon. In contrast,
Judy and Glenn contributed little more than napkins and the rehearsal dinner.When the big day arrived, everything was beautiful.
But then Judy made a toast, claiming they had given Lila the “wedding of her dreams,” and Glenn agreed. We were shocked. It felt like a slap in the face,
Days later, Judy’s social media posts painted them as the wedding’s masterminds, and Glenn even tried to get a refund from the venue,
claiming he paid for everything. That’s when I posted the receipts online, showing the truth: Tom and I had paid for it all.
The post went viral. People rallied behind us, and soon,
Judy and Glenn’s reputation was tarnished. Even Jake admitted this wasn’t the first time his in-laws had taken credit for others’
weddings.After the drama, we stopped talking to them. Jake and Lila still visit, but we avoid the subject of her parents.
I keep the receipts, not for proof, but as a reminder that the truth always comes out.Tom jokes,
“Karma didn’t just knock, she booked a full stay.” And honestly, we’re okay with that.
