Bride changes honeymoon plans after in-laws joke about gatecrashing… leaving them furious when they actually do turn up
A GROOM has revealed how his overbearing parents begged to join him and his bride on their honeymoon, so he changed the location without telling them.
He revealed on Reddit how his mum, dad and brother went ahead with their “fun surprise” and were furious when they realised the switch.
The bizarre event occurred after the parents spent a few months “joking” about showing up.
The groom said: “Half because of this and half because we found a great deal, we decided to go to another, even cooler, place but didn’t tell my parents.”
While the married couple were enjoying their first holiday as newlyweds, they got a shocking text from the groom’s parents.
He said: “Sunday night I get a bunch of texts from my mom, dad and brother wanting to know where we are. Yep, they showed up at the original honeymoon location ‘as a fun surprise!!’
“Like, what the actual F***? They were p***ed that I ‘betrayed’ them by lying and even more p***ed that I refuse to tell them where we are now.
“Somehow they figured out that her parents know where we are and have apparently been pestering them for info.
“When that didn’t work they did apologize, as well as saying that they ‘forgive me for ruining their first family vacation in a decade.’
“They want to just put this behind us and move on.”
The groom then asked Reddit users if he would be out of order to not accept their apology.
He said: “I love my family a lot. It hurts so bad to think of never speaking to them again. And I know it will hurt them deeply if I cut them off.
“But I just can’t deal with this anymore. I just can’t keep being the only adult with three adult children needing my constant attention.”
He also explained his parents have been doing similar acts throughout his life, from showing up to dates and stopping him going to his best friend’s funeral.

Many people were outraged by the scenario, and the post has racked up a staggering 1,100 comments.
One person said: “Wow. I can’t imagine all the other boundaries they don’t respect. What are they going to do next… show up for the conception if you decide to have a baby?”
Another added: “A honeymoon is for the newly wedded couple to be able to spend time away, as a couple, ALONE. Your family has major boundary issues.”
And one commented: “I’m reading your comments and the decades of behavior you’re describing isn’t love. It’s control and obsession.”
