Weddings mark one of the most meaningful moments in a couple’s journey together. Adding a touch of humor can make the celebration even more memorable. But when our reader’s wife—known for her love of pranks—decided to pull a joke during their wedding, her mother-in-law was left completely speechless. Here’s what happened and why it made such a lasting impression.
Even if your mother insists she’s “fine,” it’s still important to apologize. Sometimes people downplay their feelings, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t hurt. Let her know you’re truly sorry for how things turned out and that you never intended for the prank to go that far.
Show her that you care about her feelings and are taking full responsibility for what happened, even if it wasn’t on purpose. A sincere apology can go a long way toward healing the moment and restoring the warmth in your relationship.
