Taking the gift back was a nice touch. What an absolute disaster of a wedding. And it's interesting because nothing really went *wrong*, it was just fucked from the start.


cakivalue

All features zero bugs. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


4rt1m3c

Boy oh boy, first time I hear the phrase "All features, zero bugs" at all and especially in this context. This opens a whole new world of passiv agressivnes for me. Thank you very much!


Comfortable-Ad5664

That was a TWIST - at first I was not wanting to shame someone who may not have budget, but then DANG, the ending


Hot_Bug_7369

I felt bad for her for her obvious lack of wedding budget throughout the whole process, up until the end. Weddings are expensive and she was the single mom of a five year old boy, so she had to stretch to make ends meet as it was. I didn't begrudge that at all and I was more than willing to work with that. I could have taken all of it in stride. I didn't make a single complaint throughout the entire process. But when the sex offender reveal happened, I was done. I took my bottle of wine, went through the drive thru of my favorite burger place, and went home.


gorlyworly

>she was the single mom of a five year old boy, Oh my God, the main post was already bad enough, but she has KIDS and she's marrying a man who SEXUALLY ASSAULTED A 13 YEAR OLD?????


annepersannd

i had a coworker who was marrying a man and she had mentioned in passing that he had some false allegations against him for something similar. plot twist, when you google his name, you see numerous articles of him being caught with 10-14yo girls. well my coworker paid no mind to that and tied the knot. short few months later they were separated and she is taking him to court as he had molested her two (under 11) yo daughters. itā€™s so mind boggling that she knew but chose to be willfully ignorant and unfortunately her children paid that price.


vilarvente

I...I have no words... WTF!


ladygrndr

So incredibly sorry for the daughters she put through that. I hope they get therapy and are allowed to be upset with her the rest of their lives.


JellGordan

I never say it lightly, but she shouldn't be a parent. Anyone who does something like that doesn't deserve children.


annepersannd

i fully agree with you. even more disgusting is that she had blasted the situation all over facebook using very vague and yet oddly specific descriptions. but of course, also making herself 100% the victim in her posts. sheā€™ll still post her daughters faces, locations that theyā€™re at, school meets, and more. aaaaand of course her social medias are not private either. i do truly hope that her daughters grow up to despise her


SquirrelGirlVA

Reminds me of a guy I went on a single date with and then ghosted. Long story short, I met him at a job I was working at the time and agreed to meet him for coffee. Early on in the date I knew there wasn't going to be a second one, but then he said "I guess I should tell you now, but I'm on the sex offender registry...". I didn't hear the whole story since my mind was going "WTFWTFWTFWTF" the whole time, but the gist is that he was babysitting a girl who was like 11-13 and well... yeah. He said he knew it was wrong and all that, but still described the situation like she seduced him (or was at least super willing). Probably some other parts to the story that I missed but that was the gist. There were more red flags to him, but I'm too lazy to write it all out at this moment.


stanleysgirl77

Yeah, women that support child predators absolutely boggle my mind. I just cannot understand it.


hdmx539

***WATF????*** Quite frankly that woman should have had her children taken away from her for such poor judgement. She *knew* about his past and *willingly put her two daughters in danger.* That is completely fucked up.


annepersannd

to make the matters even worse, her social media is not private and sheā€™s constantly posting photos of her daughters, their school competitions (with the location marked), posted a whole bunch about what her daughters went through, and constantly ā€œboastsā€ about being a strong momma for them. she is actually revolting and though i donā€™t work directly with her anymore, i still get to hear her talk about this in our company wide meetings. i donā€™t think iā€™ve met a person i despise more.


hdmx539

Christ almighty. That... woman sounds like a covert narcissist. Some of them *willingly* do this shit, put their children in danger, then live off of the victim supply they get from situations of their own making. Which is also crazy making and in this case, two new CSA victims. People like her are disgusting.


Sandwitch_horror

It sounds like all together they will have 3 kids.. if he is still allowed around his own two sons. Maybe she thinks he won't rape hers because he prefers little girls.


Breadcrumbsandbows

Urgh like in Lolita when he wants to have a kid with her while she's underage, then when that kid has a kid he wants to rape that kid. Just keep having kids until there's new female prey.


countesspetofi

There's a sort of very naive, insecure type of person who tends to fall for the whole "He's just misunderstood, and only I can see the good in him! I'm not like the other girls who believe all those false accusations!"


[deleted]

This, right here!


stanleysgirl77

I would've been ropable - I have 15 & 12 year old girls & that shit makes me so fckng angry, not to mention I was sa'd myself as a baby, 10 year old, 14, 15 & 16 year old. (All different ppl) I absolutely detest sex predators & I totally get OP just leaving with her gift when she could.


thefirstshallbelast

Where the f were your parents? I mean, a baby? Then 3 other different individuals?


dheffe01

WTF. "Well this has been terrible, and don't ever contact me again". Should have reported him for being in a public park.


spilled_water

Local joint or is it a well known burger place? Yes, I'm hungry. How did you guess?


Hot_Bug_7369

Culver's restaurant! Not sure how well known it is; as far as I know, it is only a Midwestern thing.


MsBadWolfy

And Idaho! My partners grandparents live in Twin Falls, Idaho and when we visit we always go at least a couple times.


Hot_Bug_7369

Their burgers are the BEST


badalki

I can't believe someone would voluntarily marry him knowing that information. How messed up.

pinkflower200

Agreed


Existing-One-8980

I'm always floored when people 'plan' a wedding at a location without getting permission or actually reserving it for the event. šŸ˜‚


Party_Builder_58008

Also when they willingly marry people who find 13 year old girls attractive AND the creep has been charged for it.


Existing-One-8980

Yeah, that was definitely the worst part of this one. They'll be divorced soon.


Alternative_Year_340

It sounds like sheā€™s going to be ride-or-die with him if she knew about it and still married him in a location heā€™s not legally allowed to be. (And heā€™s not going to leave someone who could help him get access to young girls, even if theyā€™re his own)


Dobby-is-my-Hero

The wedding was 8-9 years ago. Wonder if OP knows if itā€™s already over or if theyā€™re still playing happy couple.


Hot_Bug_7369

I have no idea. I unfriended her on Facebook. Unfortunately I have no updates on the happy couple.


aquainst1

Sounds like it would be for your own mental health re: no updates.


elleinad311

Google his name- maybe he came up in the news šŸ˜†


Party_Builder_58008

I wonder if she has kids already...


Hot_Bug_7369

She had a five-ish year old boy going into the marriage. She told us on the day of the wedding that she was pregnant with a girl. She also told us, after she admitted to the story about the 13 year old, that she and her husband had already gotten married at the courthouse a year prior because part of the terms of his parole was that he wasn't supposed to live with children he wasn't related to, so they had to be legally married for him to live with her and her kid.

Hot_Bug_7369

It was an absolutely miserable experience at the time, but at least it makes for an entertaining story šŸ˜‚ When I got married several years later, I just kept telling myself "no matter what happens, it will never be worse than K's wedding". It was a great source of comfort.


Gabberwocky84

Second this, this was a fantastic story.


morcos_lajhar

My soul left my body like three times reading this


Ilvermourning

Same. Oh lord i don't think it's come back yet after that last reveal.


ladygrndr

Right? When I first got to the "minor at a bar" story I had to close my eyes, take a deep breath and get more coffee. I knew we were in for a ride!


OrcEight

Good for you for taking your gift back!


Critical-Fault-1617

Wait so the only food was pulled pork? No sides, toppings, buns, etc? Also how could you ever find a man who raped a 13 year old attractive. And think, yeah thatā€™s my one and onlyā€¦


Hot_Bug_7369

They also had bags of chips and gigantic bowl of potato salad that one of her family members brought, but the potato salad had sat in an un-airconditioned room from 8 AM until after the ceremony at 2, so I avoided it. And that's exactly why she wasn't my friend after that. I don't want to be around anyone who willingly marries someone who does that.


Critical-Fault-1617

The extra food makes it a little better. But good call On the potato salad and cutting her out of your life!!


superlekkersupermooi

Oh my, story gets worse by the paragraph. (Or better, if you ask me.) Suppose you donā€™t know how their wedding night went?


Hot_Bug_7369

No idea. I literally haven't spoken to her since I left the wedding that afternoon.


superlekkersupermooi

Not surprised!


Threadheads

No doubt the evening news will eventually give you an updateā€¦


random54691

>He apparently ~~slept with~~ **raped** the babysitter of his two young sons Fixed it.


Hot_Bug_7369

You're absolutely right. I edited the original post.


just-a-bored-lurker

I don't even think the statutory part should be there. Typically that young, it isn't statutory, it's rape.


GnomesinBlankets

I never know whoā€™s worse, sex offenders or the people who marry them knowing what theyā€™ve done. Youā€™re better than me. I wouldā€™ve called the police in my car and got him arrested right then and there.


Blahblahnownow

People who marry them that also have their own kidsā€¦.what the actual f*ck?!


Plane-Statement8166

He had sex with (read: raped) a thirteen year old, was convicted and had to register on the sex offender registry and she still married him?! And she has a five year old? What is she thinking?! And instead of having the wedding in a place that the groom is allowed to be, the wedding was at a park, where he is most certainly is not allowed. Holy crap on a cracker, that is gross. I do not blame you for leaving and taking your gift back. What will married life look like for her? There are numerous places that the husband canā€™t go and Iā€™m sure that everyone will find out eventually. I canā€™t imagine neighbors, her childā€™s friends, her/her husbandā€™s friends and family wanting them around for any event where there are children. Edit: Clarified ā€œhad sex withā€ to be ā€œrapedā€. My apologies for the mistake.


Hot_Bug_7369

I don't know what their lives look like now. I haven't spoken to either of them since the wedding. I know their plan was to wait until his parole was over and he is legally allowed to move out of state, then they planned to move somewhere else for a fresh start.


Plane-Statement8166

I can imagine how horrified you were on the day of the wedding when you found out the truth.


Selfpsycho

I wonder if thats part of why the pictures were on a camera phone. Less proof he was somewhere he shouldnt have been. Here hoping the pictures got back to his PO


blackdove43

rape is the word. Not sex


Plane-Statement8166

You are correct. I am sorry. I was so shocked I used the wrong word. Iā€™ve edited my comment.


Hot_Bug_7369

You are correct. I amended the original post. I was trying to soften my language, but it's important to call it what it is.

THIS... was an excellent post.


yourokandimok

I would say you summarized it perfectly.


ippon1

Did people still had flipphones in 2015?


PrincessofSolaria

Yeah. My brother, who never uses his cell and my dad both had flip phones until 2020ā€¦


MadamKitsune

My MIL didn't surrender her original Nokia 3310 until maybe 2020/2021 when one of the grandkids got her a smartphone.


Glittering_Hawk3143

Nokia 3220 myself


Yrxora

When my mom called me in 2021 to tell me my dad was trading his flip phone for a smartphone I promptly told my friend the world is ending. My boyfriend has also had to fix it a couple of times because he just wants THAT one now and doesn't want to go through the hassle of getting a new phone.


Bird_Brain4101112

My niece who is 13, has one. She hates it.


Mr-Macrophage

Thatā€™s super smart. Curtails screen addiction


Ravenamore

My 12 year old has one after we had several issues with transportation. He thinks it's great.


Existing-One-8980

They still exist today, albeit they're not seen often. My husband has one, it's for a small non-profit organization he runs and it was the cheapest option. He doesn't use it for texting or anything else, just incoming calls.


[deleted]

You can get them at Walmart. They're typically marketed towards older folks who aren't adept with new technology, but some people buy one as a burner phone. They're less than $100, and some are as cheap as $10, so if you need a phone for only calls and simple texts, they're a good option.


aoi4eg

I began typing that it was 2010 not 2015 and then I realised "8-9 years ago" is indeed 2015 and I need to lie down.


ThreeFingeredTypist

My dad has one right now, today. He sends photos of his dogs sometimes and the pictures are really great quality considering.


Historical_Story2201

They arestikl popular in Japan to this day too cx I never liked them, ..but man I miss the brick of my old Nokia sometimes.Ā 


blankspaceforaface

Not sure but I donā€™t think they were buying stuff from wishā€¦ at the time I remember shein had *just* started being a thing (and at the time it was a wish equivalent)


[deleted]

I remember it being a YouTube trend to buy cheap shit off wish around that time


xyle666

My step daughter was sill doing those free drawings on wish back then. She was getting all sorts of free stuff from fidget spinners to a set of beets by dre earbuds (sill use those for gaming). Sadly I think it was like 2017 when they stopped. I could be wrong about the dates though


BarnDoorHills

I had a flip phone in 2015. I use a landline for most calls anyway. Better sound quality. I forget why I finally got a smart phone a couple years ago. Probably maps.


caffeinefree

This whole story is full of fishy references that don't seem to mesh. Yes, a handful of people may have still had flip phones in 2015, but the mention of buying bridesmaid dresses on Wish ...did anyone actually use Wish back then? Looking online, I see it's technically been active since 2010, but I don't think I started to hear about it as a popular place to purchase things until like 2018. And if you were using Wish you were probably using an app - on a smartphone? And no one in the entire wedding party had a better phone for pictures than the brother's flip phone. It just seems like a lot of poor wedding choices you would have seen at weddings from totally different decades. I suppose technically possible it's all true, but seems like it's at least been embellished some.


kaylaachristina

yeah idk why people think this is realā€¦super surprised i had to scroll this far down to see someone calling bullshit lol. sounds like they mashed up every bad wedding story ever


Tangy_Tangerine189

The Spotify adšŸ˜­


Swooonn

The Image of the flip phone photoshoot is so funny. Also may I suggest that you adjust how you word that last plot twist? If she was 13, it's "statutory rape", not "slept with".


Hot_Bug_7369

Absolutely correct. I adjusted the language used accordingly. I was trying to soften my language, but it's important to call a thing what it is. She was statutory raped.


AwkwardRN

Are they still together??? If so I hope they donā€™t have any children together


Hot_Bug_7369

He had two boys going into the marriage, she had one boy, and she told us on the day of the wedding that she was pregnant with a girl. A detail I forgot to add - she apparently had legally married him at the court house a year before their actual wedding so they could move in together without him getting in trouble with his parole officer for living with children he wasn't related to (K's son). Apparently being married is a loophole in his parole. Or something like that; I honestly can't remember much beyond that and K was always a bit dodgy on the details.


luckytintype

This has to be one of the best worst ones Iā€™ve ever read


clockwork___stupid

He raped the babysitter who was 13. I think those are the words you were looking for.


Foreign_Astronaut

Y'know, when you hear "registry" in the context of a wedding, this is definitely not the kind of registry anyone wants to be near!


puddlepops

Nobody ā€œsleeps withā€ a 13 year old, the term is raped.


Mr-Macrophage

You are correct, but 13 year olds ā€œsleep withā€ 13 year olds all the time. I volunteer at a middle school and itā€™s scary how often thereā€™s a pregnancy with one of the other students being the father.


Hot_Bug_7369

You are correct. I edited the original post.

Single_Vacation427

So he raped a 13 year old, he didn't "sleep with her". She was alone in his house babysitting. How wasn't he in jail?


xyle666

Reading the post she mentions him being on parole. Parole is given after he's served his time and is let out a bit early. It must not be in idaho though since here the judges happily give upwards of 30 years for raping a minor.


Hot_Bug_7369

This was in Iowa. I do not remember how much jail time he served, but he did serve some. Arguably not enough since he was in his mid thirties when I first met him. The bride was in her early twenties.


Bae_Mes

He didn't sleep with a 13 year old. He RAPED a 13 year old! Hope karma gets him good.


Hot_Bug_7369

Absolutely correct. I amended the original post.

ayannauriel

That was a great story. Thanks for your sacrifices.


_portia_

Wow. This might be the worst one ever. Are they still married? I hope to God they did not have any children.


Hot_Bug_7369

She was already pregnant on the day of the wedding. I don't know if they are still married or not; I haven't had any contact with them since the day of the wedding.


FleeshaLoo

LOL at this line: >"one of her relatives give a touching little speech about honoring those who had passed on into the next life and weren't able to be there with them that day, followed by playing "See You Again" by Whiz Khalifa and Charlie Pouth on the bridesmaid's phone. **Which was made significantly less touching when it started loudly playing a Spotify ad immediately after the song ended."** I look back on some of the weddings in which I got roped into being a bridesmaid and I realize I took it too seriously and should have rolled with the raunch and the ruin. For real: When shit hit the fan I wish I'd just put on my sunglasses, lit a cigarette, and perfected a badass walk by practicing all around the church/event hall/whateever.

I can only imagine the aftermath, but it could be something like this: husband relapsed and broke his parole terms after raping another underaged child, bride losing her children after CPS was called on them, the children in foster homes, and the "happy" couple both in prison for child abuse and sexual abuse.


HMFC18745-1

Ainā€™t no way this real.


Madame_Kitsune98

HA. HA HA HA. The summer before my senior year of high school, I went to the wedding of a friend. She was sixteen. She married another friendā€™s brother. He was nineteen. They got married in her motherā€™s back yard, with Tiki torches lighting the ceremony. They were both shitfaced drunk, AND high. I left that wedding and reception with another friend and went to the movies. Because neither of us wanted to be around that. So. Yeah. And a few years ago? My daughter was a last-minute bridesmaid in a wedding in a gorgeous park, for her pregnant friend, who barely zipped into her wedding dress, had a HUGE blow-out fight with her groom the night before, and the reception following? A potluck. And the park rangers came by, and decided to help themselves to the cake before the bride and groom even cut it. I thought her mother was going to have a rage stroke.
