I thought I’d share this lovely story with you guys.
Impatient about cutting a cake? It get’s better . . .
Bolding is mine.
Her stepfather? Then he took off with the mother of the bride and an 8 year old in tow.
If that happened to me, Bridezilla would be the NICEST thing you could say about me. I can’t imagine having my wedding day ruined in such a horrific fashion. Your stepfather trying to kill your father and brother . . . over wedding cake??! I would be the most hateful, spiteful, vengeful woman. Imagine what this will do to their marriage and now one of the happiest days of her life is tainted with this memory.
:mad:
I honestly think I’d sue the crap out of him for just the emotional aspect or at least make sure I was there during the trial to laugh at him getting locked up for attempted murder.
I really feel bad for this couple. If I were them, I’d get divorced, then plan a new wedding . . . on step-daddy and mommy’s dime and put a protection order in place to where they couldn’t even get within 500 feet of me.
(As I couple) We’d change our names legally, and have nothing more to do with them ever. I wouldn’t want their money, if there was a lawsuit it would all go to a shelter for battered spouses. (Both male and female.)
Now I see it was the bride’s father and brother who were stabbed by the bride’s stepfather. In that case, I’d refuse to have anything to do with that “person” ever again. If that meant that I was unable to see my mother because she refused to see me without him, so be it.
To be perfectly honest, I think I would cut out of my life any person who stabbed any other random person out of trivial impatience, regardless of wether the victims were my relatives or it happened to be an important day for me. “Attempted murder” ranks above “destroyed my wedding day” for me. Not that I’d be particularly pleased about the latter.
This has got to be about more than cutting a cake. I’m willing to bet something had been building up to it. Not that it would excuse such behavior by any stretch of the imagination.
Well, I kind of thought that was a given. I tried to put myself in this young couple’s place and the only thing I could get across was the emotional aspect of this day being ruined for them forever. My apologies.
Of course someone trying to kill my family members would be paramount to anything that I was feeling, their health and life is what is most important here. Since this was so wrong on so many levels, I just focused my energies on something that may have not hit them just yet. It in no way trivializes the severeity of what happened to the father and brother.
I find it hard to believe it was impatience over food myself, but I’m sure I’ll find out in the next few weeks what the real motivator is. Who knows, maybe this guy has a history of mental illness or was just really, really craving cake. Maybe he wanted to leave. It’s customary to not leave until the cake is cut. Who really knows what motivates people who do things like this.
