My wedding day seemed perfect until I realized my mom, Adele, was missing. Moments later, she burst into the church, disheveled and furious, revealing she’d been locked in a closet by someone close.

As I prepared to marry Fabian, my mom had been my rock. We shared every detail of the wedding, from dress fittings to cake tastings, and her absence was a nightmare. Panic set in when I noticed she wasn’t there. Fabian and my brothers searched frantically, but there was no sign of her.

An hour later, Mom arrived, visibly shaken and enraged, accusing my soon-to-be mother-in-law, Grace, of locking her up out of jealousy. Grace’s face turned pale as she admitted to the petty act. Fabian, furious, demanded Grace leave.

After the drama subsided, I found Mom in the garden. Despite the chaos, she reassured me and reminded me to focus on the joy of the day.
