Today, I got married. My booze-hound mother made a toast, and told a story about how she once walked in on us having sex. My husband's family is very religious, and we told them we weren't having sex until marriage. Thanks mom. FML

Well honesty should always be something we strive for, but at least you had the intention of keeping your husband's family happy.

Id just tell my husband's family that my mother has an active imagination and makes up these stories when she's drunk.

It's really a toss up between your life sucks and you deserve it, you shouldn't have been lying to your in laws. Not a good way to start off your new life.

He's a grown man and you're a grown woman (I assume). What you do is your own choice. If it was that big of a deal, then you wouldn't have done it, but you really don't their ideas dictating the rest of your life, do you?

Then the mature thing to do would be to tell them that. "hey your religious views just aren't for us and were gonna have sex because we don't see anything wrong with it". Communication with your in laws is key.

Shouldn't have lied, OP. While your sex life is your own business, regardless of others' opinions, when you lie it's sort of like cleaning an oven with a lit cigarette in your hand: it's going to explode eventually.

Lying to your parents, ain't a person that don't do it.

Well, two things. Your mother is obviously in the wrong for thinking that's a good topic to discuss for a wedding toast, but so are you and your husband for lying to your in laws in the first place. Really crappy way to start off your relationship with them.

Her mother was drunk, aka, she obviously wasnt thinking about how appropriate it was to talk about her daughter's sex life in front of the religious in-laws.

Can't imagine life with your in-laws now. Awkward. :/

Who is to say she walked in on you two? She was drunk...it could have been someone else. I don't condone lying, but I understand your situation in this case.

Firstly, I'm not sure why you guys felt the need to tell his family anything about your sex life. Secondly, why would you lie? If two consenting adults want to get busy before they tie the knot there's nothing wrong with that. Be yourself. YDI for lying.

Firstly, you are incorrect. OP's mother told the in-laws about OP's sex life since she walked in on them getting busy. Secondly, OP's in-laws are über religious, so premarital sex is a sin. The lying part is understandable, when dealing with religious folks as such. However, you might want to check your facts next time

This is why you shouldn't tell the "oh-so-hilarious" sex stories at weddings. I don't understand people who think it's either funny or appropriate to embarrass people at their wedding. You probably shouldn't have lied to your in-laws OP, but at least you're married now.
