šØ Our 20-year-old son decided to marry his girlfriend of two years. šØ We took on all the wedding expenses, knowing that the brideās family couldnāt afford it.
v A week before the wedding, the brideās mother visited us and handed us an envelope. My husband and I were shocked by its contents.
We never imagined our future in-laws would act this way. Hereās our story: š š š Our only son announced, āDear parents, Iāve decided to get married.ā

They had been dating for two years, and his girlfriend seemed sweet and modest.
We had no objections to her, but we lacked the funds for a wedding. Our son kept saying they just wanted a civil ceremony, but how could we deny our only child a wedding?
The next day, my husband and I visited our future in-laws. We knew only that the brideās
parents had long lived apart and that her mother had raised her alone, leading to financial difficulties.
Despite this, their home was impeccably clean, and the yard was well-kept. The brideās mother set a lovely table and treated us to delicious dishes.
Aware of their financial situation, we decided to cover all wedding expenses, provided they invited only their closest family.
A week before the event, our future in-law visited and handed us an envelope with money. āI took out a loan for this,ā she said.
We didnāt expect such sincerity and generosity. I believe these qualities attracted my brother.
At the wedding, he flirted with the brideās mother and later began dating her.
My brother is two years older than our in-law; both are divorced. Today, weāre preparing for another engagementāthis time for my brother.
Iām genuinely happy for them; they both deserve happiness and love.
