I Poured The Wine, Not My Future

Synopsis

At the engagement party, my future mother-in-law, Linda Shaw, suddenly announced in front of all our friends and family that the wedding budget would be slashed from 60 grand to just 3 grand. "It's pointless throwing down that kind of cash on a wedding," she said. "She's not worth a luxury wedding anyway." My parents' faces fell instantly, but Linda just kept going, saying my family didn't measure up to the Shaw family. My boyfriend, Eric Shaw, just sat there in silence, like none of this had anything to do with him. I took a deep breath, stood up, lifted my glass, and poured the wine right over Linda's head. "You're right. We really don't measure up," I said, taking my parents by the hand. "This wedding's off. Take your money and go find yourself the perfect daughter-in-law." As I turned to leave, the whole room erupted behind me. Eric finally freaked out and chased after me, grabbing my hand. I shook him off. "Your mom said 3 grand is enough for the wedding. Well, I'd love to know, how many years of your loyalty to her does 3 grand get?"
