His best man made a wedding video and threw in a few digs at his family for failing to attend his big day. When the groom refused to take the video down, his parents were livid but he’d already decided that enough was enough.
Parents Always Let Him Down
For as far back as he could remember, his parents always let him down at the last minute. They’d arrange to see him and think nothing of canceling their plans.
Sister Was to Blame
It was always his sister that was behind the cancellations. It was as though she manipulated the situation so their parents would be with her. It might be that she was sick or had a bad day at work, but there was always something wrong.
Missed Important Events
Not only had they missed small events in his life, but they’d also missed out on his graduation and several birthdays. His sister would always choose to have a meltdown right on cue.
Met the Woman of His Dreams
He’d been dating his girlfriend for a few years and eventually, they decided to tie the knot. He was super excited and started compiling his guest list of both friends and family members.
Expressed His Concerns
Aware of his sister’s history when it came to such events, he told his parents that he was extremely concerned that they wouldn’t come to his special day. He told them it meant a lot for them to be there, even his nightmare of a sister. He was concerned she’d have another meltdown and stop them from coming.
They Made Him a Promise
His parents told him that they wouldn’t miss his wedding for anything! They made him a promise that they’d be there to see him get married. He was concerned, but really happy that they’d assured him.
They Offered Continual Reassurance
Each time he spoke to his parents, they expressed their excitement about his wedding day. He was starting to believe that they really would be there to share this moment with his soon-to-be wife.
The Bad News
On the morning of his wedding, he received a voicemail from his mother saying that they weren’t able to attend. He could pretty much guess the reason was! His sister’s dog was sick and she was really upset about it. She needed her parents to be with her. He was deeply hurt and upset, but not that surprised.
The Best Man Steps Up
On the day of the wedding, his best man was by his side, supporting him every step of the way. He was a real joker and tried to make light of the situation about his parents not being there. As a special gift, he asked if he could film a video of their special day to post on social media. The man and his wife thought it was a great idea!
No Cellphone Signal
The honeymoon was amazing, but when he returned home, he had loads of voicemails and text messages. He’d had no signal where he was staying by the lakes, so his cellphone was suddenly bleeping with notifications.
Social Media Video Causes Havoc
That’s when he saw the video on social media. The post caption read, ‘My best friend. He is an amazing person, even if his parents NEVER show up for him!’ There were shots of them cutting the cake and an empty space where his parents should be. There were loads of pictures of them with the bride’s parents. It was a real dig at his parents.
The Damaging Audio Clip
The audio clip behind the video was the voicemail from his Mom, telling him that they couldn’t go to his wedding because his sister’s dog was sick. It was brilliantly put together, but he knew there would be consequences.
Inundated with Angry Messages
The hundreds of messages on his phone were mainly from his parents, telling him he had to take it down immediately. They said his sister hadn’t stopped crying and was refusing to leave the house. Even his new in-laws had left messages telling him to take it down!
Refused to Do What They Asked
Still angry that his parents hadn’t attended, he left the video running on social media. He didn’t call his parents back either, he just enjoyed his remaining days off work with his wife in their new home.
The Day Finally Comes
He knew he’d have to speak to his parents eventually, so when his vacation was over, he called his Dad. Again, he said he HAD to take the video down, adding, “It was just a really bad night for us!”
They Said They’d Make It up to Him
His Dad even said that they’d make it up to him for missing his big day. He replied, “How can you make up for missing my wedding day?” It was a once-in-a-lifetime occasion and they’d chosen to ignore his feelings on the whole matter.
Petty Revenge
At the end of the call, his Dad repeated that he HAD to take the video down. Frustrated at the whole thing, his response was that he’d take the video down only when they’d made up for missing his wedding day! The truth was that they couldn’t make up for it, so the video was going nowhere!
An Abrupt Ending
Before either of them could say anything else that they regretted, they cut the call. It was time that his parents realized that they couldn’t keep on letting him down without repercussions.
The Guilt Lingers
Although it was his parents and sister who had been the wrongdoers, he couldn’t help but feel guilty for not taking the video down. Still, he refused to budge, as he felt it important to finally make a stand against his manipulative sister and gullible parents!
