The man at the last minute decided not to pay for the wedding of his daughter, despite her tantrums and heartbreaking screams
“This year the wedding of the stepdaughter took place. I have been living with my wife and daughter for 10 years. We didn’t have any serious conflicts during this time, and I always tried to help my wife and daughter in everything.
A year ago, Nastya graduated from university. All the years I paid for her tuition, and Vika didn’t have to look for a job, she was able to devote full time to her studies. In high school, I gave my daughter a car. I never spared money for my family, even though my daughter is not my own, I never focused on this and did everything to have a happy family.
From time to time, she met her biological father. I never went into the details of the divorce of his wife and this man, but I know for sure that he did not invest a penny in his own daughter. He didn't give her pocket money, he didn't buy things, he didn't pay for school. I did it all. But Nastya still happily communicated with her father.
When Nastya proposed to the young man, it was decided that the maximum number of guests would be 250 people. Of course, I was involved in organizing the wedding and funding it, so I figured it wouldn't hurt if I invited 20 people to the wedding. I wrote a list of people I wanted to see at a wedding and gave it to my wife. I was promised that this would be taken care of.”
On the eve of the wedding, when everything was almost ready, invitations were sent out to everyone, I met my friend, who I added to my guest list. We talked, and in the meantime, I asked him if he'd be at his stepdaughter's wedding. My friend replied that he had not heard of the wedding and had not received an invitation.
Later it became clear that there was not a single person close to me on the guest list, no one on the list I gave my wife. And the last straw was the day when I returned from work and found my future son-in-law and family at home, my wife and stepdaughter with her birth father. I wasn’t even told we were going to have guests. And all the attention the whole evening turned to Father Nastya.
I was surprised to see how nice they were communicating. What did this man do for his own daughter to make her life happy? He made no effort to organize the upcoming event. Then I took a glass and said toast: I was happy all these years to raise and support in all endeavors the future bride. It was a great pleasure to spend time in this family. And now I want to thank the father of the bride, her fiancé and all members of his family.
I finally realized that I was always just an ATM for you. What I have learned over the past few days is the reason for my decision. I solemnly declare that I will not pay for the event. I hand over the troubles to the bride’s own father, let him take responsibility for all expenses.
Then I escorted the guests out of my house and told my wife and stepdaughter that they no longer lived here. I was willing to pay for a wedding that cost $20,000. What did I get in return? I was spit in the soul of those I thought were relatives.
Rarely, relationships with non-native parents become trusting. But it also happens that it is the adoptive parents, stepfathers, stepmothers who become the most loving and caring parents. Wedding is a family holiday, an event where close friends and relatives gather. No matter what anyone says, our actions speak louder than words. At the last moment, Victor realized that he had never been loved, that he had been used all this time. Perhaps he would continue to provide for his family if these people at least considered his opinion. What would you do in his place?

I rip the tulle from the windows, but I don’t throw it away, I found non-standard ways to use it.
