MY PARENTS REFUSED TO ATTEND MY WEDDING BECAUSE MY FIANCÉ WAS POOR – WE MET 10 YEARS LATER, AND THEY BEGGED FOR A RELATIONSHIP When I was a kid, my parents were obsessed with “making it big.” My dad always joked, “One day, we’ll live in a mansion, and you’ll marry someone to help us get there.” Turns out, it wasn’t a joke. In college, I met Liam. He wasn’t like the wealthy guys my parents pushed on me — he was kind, humble, and studying to be a teacher. When we got engaged, my parents flipped. “A teacher? How will he take care of you? Or us?” They gave me an ultimatum: leave Liam or lose them. I chose Liam. On my wedding day, their seats stayed empty. But Grandpa was there. He hugged me and said, “Love matters more than money.” For ten years, my parents stayed out of my life, but Grandpa supported us however he could. Liam and I didn’t have much but built a happy, simple life with our daughter, Sophie. Then Grandpa passed away. After the service, my parents approached me for the first time in a decade. “We’re so sorry, Emma,” my mom said, her voice shaking. “Please, can we try to rebuild our relationship?” It sounded sincere, and for a moment, I considered it. Liam and I were still struggling — why now? But then my aunt pulled me aside. She was furious. “Emma, don’t fall for it,” she hissed. “Do you know why they’re apologizing?” ⬇️ See less
