Son Is Ashamed of Poor Elderly Mom at Wedding until She Takes the Mic and Gives a Toast — Story of the Day
At his wedding, Arnold becomes furious when he sees his mother, Diana, who he had told not to attend. Diana hands him a gift—a ceramic vase—and gives a toast, leading Arnold to break down in tears.
Diana, a 60-year-old café cleaner, had spent all her savings to buy Arnold a wedding suit, eager to see him married. When she gives him the suit, Arnold rejects it, calling it cheap, and tells her not to come to the wedding. Hurt, Diana attends anyway, bringing a gift for him.
During the ceremony, Arnold is shocked when Diana reveals a 25-year-old secret. She explains that she adopted Arnold after his biological mother passed away and that the vase was a gift from his late mother, meant for him on his wedding day. Inside the vase, Arnold finds wads of cash, and he realizes the sacrifice Diana made for him. He apologizes, acknowledging her as the mother who raised him with love and devotion.
Arnold begs Diana to forgive him, and they share a heartfelt moment, dancing together as mother and son.
