When Nicole gently urged her to stand back, her mother did, but her enthusiasm never decreased.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole\u2019s mother said she was told to wear a complete wedding dress on the big day. Nicole was confused and indignant, determined to find out who had used her mother\u2019s emotions and ruined this precious day.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole wanted an easy wedding from the start. She merely wanted cupcakes at the reception, unlike other girls who dreamed about their fantasy weddings. Since her parents never married and her father departed before Nicole was born, she knew her mother\u2019s deep, unfulfilled wedding preparation dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole\u2019s mother enthusiastically chose flowers, cakes, and table settings for the wedding as if it were her own. Nicole gently begged her mother to step aside as she poured over the wedding notebook, thinking she was over-involved. Nicole felt guilty after her mother\u2019s understanding but modest smile.<\/p>\n<p>Her mother followed her requests, pulling back enough while still checking in with Anna, the wedding planner, to finish preparations.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole eagerly arrived at the chapel on wedding morning. However, as she entered the bride\u2019s dressing room, she saw her mother in a bridal gown, clutching shoes, smiling like a dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom? You\u2019re doing what? Shocked, Nicole stammered.<\/p>\n<p>Her mother smiled as she spun in the garment. I got a call saying you wanted us at the wedding! I was shocked because you didn\u2019t say anything, but it made me happy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicole inquired, \u201cWho called you?\u201d with a heavy heart. Her mother hesitated, sensing trouble. \u201cYour wedding planner\u2026 I think,\u201d she whispered uncertainly.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole urgently called Anna for answers. Anna said it wasn\u2019t her idea, but her employer, Miranda James, had asked for Nicole\u2019s mother\u2019s phone. Nicole blanched at Miranda James, knowing it was Peter\u2019s ex.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole stormed to Peter, explaining everything, leaving her mother in the dressing room. Peter was stunned and furious. They went straight to Miranda\u2019s office to confront her. She was smug behind her desk.<\/p>\n<p>Why you done this? Peter asks.<\/p>\n<p>Miranda smiled and said, \u201cI thought it\u2019d be a fun surprise,\u201d relishing their distress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is low, even for you,\u201d he said contemptuously. Miranda\u2019s perverse satisfaction grew with each charge. Tired of the scenario, Nicole switched roles. She got out her phone and filmed a little video detailing Miranda\u2019s interference and tagged all their wedding vendors.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole\u2019s phone buzzed with notifications as people condemned Miranda\u2019s petty conduct online as they returned to the chapel. Miranda was being slandered online by the time Nicole was getting married.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole saw her mother waiting at the church, tearful. I\u2019m sorry, mom. Hugging her mother, she continued, \u201cI know your excitement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicole\u2019s mother stroked her hair with a grin. It\u2019s okay, love. You would have told me it was a prank if it were true. Get you married.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicole was joyfully walked down the aisle by her mother, and Peter hugged her at the altar. Anna handled everything in their absence, so the wedding went smoothly despite the controversy.<\/p>\n<p>After Miranda\u2019s misdeed, Nicole received many free wedding planner notes on their honeymoon to demonstrate their support. As Nicole and Peter rested on the beach, Peter laughed and said, \u201cWell, looks like you\u2019ve got the whole industry proving they\u2019re better than Miranda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicole smiled and replied, \u201cTrue, but I\u2019m not planning on another wedding.\u201d Her expression went soft. \u201cBut\u2026 My mother deserves her perfect wedding. She was prepared. I might take one of those offers and organize everything for her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peter smiled less teasingly as he understood she was serious. \u201cThat\u2019s a great idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicole covertly planned with a new wedding planner to design everything her mother liked, from flowers and cake to her preferred wedding dress. Her in-law\u2019s anniversary was the excuse to gather relatives and friends. She was emotional when her mother came, recognizing what was happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is for you,\u201d Nicole remarked, helping her mother dress for the wedding. \u201cAll for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicole\u2019s mother were moved to tears. She finally had her dream wedding, which improved their relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Nicole began wedding planning, her mother has been very active, providing help everywhere.
