My Mother-in-Law Tried to Ruin Our Wedding by Pitting Us against Each Other
Maya, as a wedding planner, is used to crazy weddings. So, when her wedding rolls around, she thinks that she has planned everything right down to the final detail. Until her fiancé goes missing and her mother-in-law plots for the end of their relationship…
As a wedding planner, I’ve had my fair share of crazy weddings. From bridezillas to lazy grooms, to the most insane requests. Once, I had a couple who wanted to say their vows on a hot air balloon — only for the bride to realize that she was afraid of heights.
For my wedding, I was so sure that Fred and I were ready. That we had finally gotten everything done right. But I even so, I wanted my colleague, Jenna, to take over the logistics behind the wedding. I wanted to have my moment as a bride.

Fred knew that I was in my element when it came to our wedding, so he left everything to me — other than making sure that there would be sliders are the wedding reception, everything was on me.
We met Jenna in a restaurant about a year before our wedding, and I gave her everything she needed to know in a planner. It was going to be easy for her — all she needed to do was the admin behind the plans. And to bring the vision to life.
“Maya,” she said, sipping on her drink. “This is perfect. You’ve planned everything.”

Everything was ticking along perfectly, with each detail meticulously planned and poised for what was meant to be the happiest day of our lives.
Until three nights before the wedding, when all hell broke loose.

It must have been around 8PM, and I was unwinding by watching reality television and eating a slice of pie.
I had my nail appointment the next morning, and I was finally starting to feel like a bride. In the past few weeks, Fred and I seemed to find anything and everything to fight about. We argued with no reason, until it was time to sleep.
At least, this week, Fred was staying with his best man.
“Just to get him out of your hair for a bit, Maya,” he said.
“You’ll get no complaints from me,” I told him. “Just keep him out of trouble.”

But it’s never so simple, right?
No. My doorbell rang, disrupting my night in.
The person standing on the other side was a delivery man, holding a huge bouquet of flowers.
“That’s beautiful,” I said. “Who is it from?”
“There’s a card, ma’am,” the delivery man said.
He handed the bouquet to me and turned around to walk down the stairs.

“Oh, Fred,” I said, sniffing the flowers.
Sending me random flowers was something that he would do.
But then I read the card and my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach.
I Don’t was written on the card.
All the air inside my lungs suddenly went out. I sat down on the couch and cried my heart out.
After a few hours, I called Fred about twenty times. He never picked up.
