MY 79-YEAR-OLD MOM PULLED A SNEAKY TRICK ON ME AT HER WEDDING
\n<\/b>
\nSo, my mom\u2014**79 years old and still wild as ever**\u2014decided she was getting married.<\/p>\n
I was **shook.**<\/p>\n
Not because she didn\u2019t deserve happiness, but because, **after my own husband left me for someone half my age**, I had pretty much sworn off love altogether.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to her wedding day. It was a **beautiful ceremony**\u2014small, intimate, and **full of my mom\u2019s usual flair.**<\/p>\n
Then came the bouquet toss.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t even paying attention. I was standing in the back, **hands in my pockets**, fully prepared to let some eager romantic fight for the thing.<\/p>\n
And then\u2014**BAM!**<\/p>\n
The bouquet **slammed into my face** and **landed perfectly in my hands.**<\/p>\n
The crowd erupted in cheers. I just stood there, stunned.<\/p>\n
Then my mom\u2014**beaming like a mastermind**\u2014grabbed the mic.<\/p>\n
> \u201cCongrats, dear! You caught it! But\u2026 there\u2019s **one condition.**\u201d<\/p>\n
The room went silent. I narrowed my eyes. **What now?**<\/p>\n
She grinned.<\/p>\n
> \u201cCatching the bouquet means you have to go on **one date.** With someone I pick.\u201d<\/p>\n
**Oh. My. God.**<\/p>\n
The woman **set me up.**<\/p>\n
And judging by the smirk on her face? **She planned this all along.**<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
