My Daughter Asked Me Not to Come to Her Wedding Because I’d ‘Embarrass’ Her – What the Groom Did at the Altar Left 200 Guests Frozen

I stopped pouring coffee.

“What do you mean?”

I thought I had misheard her.

She took a breath.

“Please don’t come.”

I thought I had misheard her.

“Don’t come where?”

“To the wedding.”

“You’ll feel out of place, and I won’t be able to relax.”

I stared at her.

Lauren started speaking quickly.

“You’ll feel out of place, and I won’t be able to relax. I’ll spend the entire day worrying.”

“Worrying about what?”

She rubbed her palms together.

“Are you worried I’ll embarrass you?”

“That something might happen.”

“What could happen?”

She looked away.

I forced myself to ask.

“Are you worried I’ll embarrass you?”

That silence was all the answer I needed.
