**MY FUTURE MIL AND HER FRIENDS ATE OUR $1000 WEDDING CAKE A DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING – SO I TAUGHT HER A LESSON**
So, my fiancé, Alex, and I were all set to get married, but his mom, Linda, hates me. She wanted Alex to marry someone rich and tried to sabotage our wedding. The day before the wedding, I went out for errands. When I got back, our $1000 wedding cake was gone—just crumbs and an empty box. Linda and her friends were lounging around, looking super smug. I was fuming.
Sobbing, I confronted her. “Why did you do this? We need to replace it before tomorrow. You have to pay for it.”
Linda barely looked at me. “No way I’m paying. It’s too expensive for something that tasted disgusting, JUST LIKE YOUR TASTE IN EVERYTHING.”
I was devastated. It was the last straw, and I was determined to teach Linda a real lesson. So, I hatched a plan.
First, I called Alex and explained the situation. He was furious but supportive, insisting we wouldn’t let Linda ruin our special day. Together, we came up with an idea.
We rushed to the bakery, and with the help of the kind baker who was just as appalled as we were, we managed to order a new cake on extremely short notice. It cost us extra, but we were determined to make it work.
Next, I called Linda and her friends into the living room and put on my calmest, sweetest smile. “Linda, since you and your friends enjoyed the cake so much, I thought you might like to help with the wedding.”
She sneered, “What do you mean?”
“I mean, I think it would be wonderful if you and your friends could serve as the hostesses at the reception. You’ll be right in the middle of the action, making sure everything runs smoothly. I’m sure everyone will appreciate your help, especially considering you enjoyed the cake so much.”
Linda looked taken aback. “You want us to work at your wedding?”
“Of course! It’s only fitting, considering your contribution.” I smiled even wider, knowing she wouldn’t be able to refuse without looking bad in front of her friends.
Reluctantly, she agreed, probably thinking she could somehow sabotage things further. Little did she know, I had another plan up my sleeve.
The wedding day arrived, and Linda and her friends were assigned to hostess duties, which included everything from directing guests to their seats to ensuring everyone had drinks. They were too busy to cause any trouble, much to my satisfaction.
As the reception started, Alex and I had a special announcement. We took to the microphone and thanked everyone for coming. Then, I said, “We want to give a special thanks to Linda and her friends for their incredible help and for enjoying our first wedding cake so much that they just couldn’t wait.”
The guests gasped and started whispering, and Linda’s face turned beet red. She had been outed in front of everyone, and there was no way she could deny it.
To add to the lesson, we had a little surprise for Linda and her friends. We had arranged for a special “hostess thank you” gift – a mini version of the wedding cake. It looked identical to the original, but it was made entirely of inedible materials. When Linda and her friends cut into it later, they found themselves with a knife full of foam and plastic.
The day went on beautifully. The new cake was a hit, and Alex and I enjoyed every moment of our wedding without further incident. Linda, thoroughly embarrassed and chastised, kept a low profile for the rest of the evening.

By the end of the night, as Alex and I danced under the stars, we felt a sense of triumph. We had stood up to Linda, preserved our special day, and taught her a lesson she wouldn’t soon forget. Our marriage started with a victory over adversity, and I knew we could face anything together.
