Her Son’s Fiancée Wants A Halloween Wedding, And She’s Concerned It Will Make Her Son Look Bad As A Lawyer
This woman had a hard time bringing her son Matt into the world due to some complications surrounding his birth.
Ever since then, she has had nothing but the highest of expectations for her precious son. Matt is currently in law school, and he’s going to be getting married in October.
It seems she would prefer he wait until after he’s more settled to tie the knot, but that’s beside the point.
The real issue she has lies with Matt’s fiancée, Amy. She really hates that Amy is planning on a spooky theme for the wedding.
“She decides she [wants] a Halloween marriage, and Amy doesn’t care how it looks in front of Matt’s peers and professors and other people in his conservative field once he finishes law school,” she explained.
“Amy picked out [a] black dress and somehow got it in her head that she wants to wear ruby slippers to the wedding since she loves Wicked.”
“I have repeatedly tried to tell Amy to have some respect for Matt’s future field, but Amy thinks it’s okay because she does marketing, and some of her coworkers are coming to this disaster of a wedding.”
Her oldest daughter was invited to be a part of the wedding, but then she quickly dropped out. Her oldest is of the opinion that Amy is completely and utterly tacky with her themed wedding.
She’s left feeling upset that Matt is refusing to do anything to make his wedding more tasteful and traditional.

She has attempted to discuss her concerns with Matt after Amy insisted on her red ruby slippers, but Matt responded that if she’s already getting this stressed about the wedding, she shouldn’t attend it.
“I tried explaining that this kind of tackiness can backfire on his career because when he has wedding pictures up, people are going to notice his bride in a black dress and question his integrity as [a] lawyer,” she said.
“Matt has told me that I’m going to be uninvited to his wedding if I continue to make a scene, but I’m just trying to help people see him in a better light.”
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to just want Matt to go the more traditional route so it won’t negatively impact his career.
