As I prepared to walk down the aisle, I knew my stepmother, Linda, would try to steal the show. She had a history of making family gatherings about herself, and I wasn’t about to let her ruin my special day.
Linda arrived at the wedding in a stunning white dress, insisting on being the center of attention. But my husband, Tom, had a plan to keep her in check.
As the ceremony began, Linda sat in the front row, looking smug. But Tom’s surprise was just around the corner.
He announced a video tribute to my late mother, and the room was filled with tears and heartfelt messages. Linda’s expression turned from confident to shocked.
But Tom wasn’t done yet. He invited Linda to join us on stage, where he revealed a slideshow of her antics, including sneaking into my bridal suite and trying on my veil.
The room gasped in disbelief, and Linda’s face turned bright red.
The final blow came when Tom played a recording of Linda boasting about her plans to outshine me. The crowd was stunned, and Linda fled the hall in humiliation.
Tom and I exchanged a triumphant smile, knowing we had outsmarted Linda and kept the focus on our love and my mother’s memory.
It was a wedding to remember, and Linda learned a valuable lesson: you can’t upstage the bride on her big day!”
