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
Lauren said nothing.
That silence was all the answer I needed.
I put the coffee pot down.
“Are you ashamed of me?”
“Mom, don’t make this harder.”
“I’m your mother.”
“Harder for whom?”
“It’s one day.”
“It’s your wedding.”
“I know.”
“I’m your mother.”
“Does Ethan know you’re asking me not to come?”
“I know.”
Her voice broke slightly, but she still would not look at me.
I wanted to yell.
Instead, I asked, “Does Ethan know you’re asking me not to come?”
She hesitated.
“I won’t come.”
That was another answer.
I nodded.
“All right.”
Lauren finally looked up.
“Really?”
After she left, I poured the unfinished coffee down the sink. Her cup still had lipstick on the rim.
