, she explained what was going on:
“Last summer, my first husband passed away after being in a car accident a month before,” she began.
Although the doctors originally believed he would make it through but be paralyzed from the waist down, he, unfortunately, did not survive.
“I and his parents organized a funeral at a spacious old Catholic cathedral.
“I kept thinking to myself the whole time, this place is too beautiful for a funeral.
“For some reason, it felt wrong having such a sad occasion there... I even remember wishing that I had married my first husband there instead of the outdoor wedding we had.”
Fast forward to early this year, the woman reconnected with an ex-boyfriend of hers and they instantly hit it off.
They quickly got engaged and began planning for a May 2022 wedding.
“I've been criticized a lot for how fast I moved on, but I guess everyone heals differently.”
The woman said she then reached out to her first husband’s parents to tell them the news and invite them to the wedding.
Her former mother-in-law was apparently happy about the engagement and said she’d love to attend the ceremony.
“Then I told her that it would be held at the same cathedral as my first husband's funeral and... she went off on me.”
The woman said that her deceased husband’s mother said the whole thing was “appalling.”
The mother-in-law accused the woman of trying to replace her first husband and told her to slow down.
Although the woman obviously protested and said she actually wanted to keep his memory alive, the mother-in-law disagreed and hung up the phone.
“I haven't spoken to her or her husband since.
“I still plan on having me and my fiancé's wedding there, but it just puts a bad taste in my mouth knowing that my first husband's parents are against it.
“I wish they'd at least support me because I've been to hell and back, but this isn't that now.”
The woman wondered if she was being selfish, and Reddit users said she was:
“Last summer, so it hasn’t even been a year since your late husband has passed and you’re already remarrying…Trashy and selfish behavior,” one person wrote.
“Someone among her own family and/or friends needs to try to shake her awake and get through to her the inappropriateness of her behavior,” added another.
“Asking [your in-laws] to watch you get married again in the same church that they buried their son less than a year later is at best stunningly tone deaf and at worst, selfish AF,” a third chimed.
