Today, my mom figured that the best time to announce that I'm adopted was during her speech at my wedding. FML

OP here. My wedding was 3 weeks ago. Thanks for your kind comments, but no my mom wasn't drunk (she never drinks). I had a long conversation with her and my dad. Turns out she couldn't keep it to herself any longer. I'm no longer mad at her since she told me the whole story. Both my parents always told me a lot about their deceased best friend whom I'm named after. I'm actually that friend's daughter and my family took me in when both my biological parents died in a car accident when I was 3 months old. In a way, I know my biological parents through the memories of my adoptive parents. I've never suspected a thing since I have two little brothers and I kind of look like my mom. Telling me and everyone I love at my wedding was a way for her to honor her dear friend and 'share' that special moment in my life with her.

What was she thinking?! Usually speeches at weddings are supposed to be funny and heartwarming, but your mom took it to another level. I hope this didn't ruin your day; then again, I don't know how it couldn't have.

Well that wasn't an appropriate time. She should be ashamed for bringing sadness to one of the happiest days of your life.

Isn't that a good thing? Being adopted means they CHOSE you. It means you were wanted by a family who cares. Not like people like me who are born into abusive houses without an escape. You should be lucky you have what you do

That literally made me choke up with tears, your mom is an amazing person, BOTH of your parents are!

I think being adopted is something to be happy about, a family chose you to love and care for.. but on that note maybe a wedding isn't a good time to bring up the whole "btw your adopted...congrats on the wedding"
