My MIL and Her Friends Ate Our $1000 Wedding Cake the Night before Our Wedding, So I Taught Her a Lesson…

“Emily, this cake is beautiful,” Sarah said, wiping frosting off her cheek. “Linda has no idea what she’s up against.”

I smiled, feeling a surge of confidence. “You’re right. I’m not done yet. I have one more surprise for her.”

At the reception, the cake Sarah and I had created was displayed proudly. It looked perfect, and the guests were chatting happily. But I noticed Linda watching me from across the room, clearly disappointed that her sabotage hadn’t derailed the wedding.

Just before the cake cutting, I took the microphone. Alex stood beside me, and though I felt a pang of sadness that he had no idea what his mother had done, I knew I had to do this.

“Thank you all for being here today,” I began, keeping my voice steady. “Before we celebrate with this beautiful cake, I have something to share.”

The room quieted as I signaled the technician to play the footage from the hidden camera I had installed in my living room. The video clearly showed Linda and her friends devouring my original wedding cake, making snide remarks about me the entire time.

Gasps echoed around the room as everyone watched. Linda’s face turned beet red, and she looked around in a panic, clearly searching for a way out.

“I installed a camera because I knew Linda wasn’t too fond of me,” I said calmly. “I didn’t want to believe she’d try to sabotage my wedding, but I had to be prepared.”

Murmurs filled the room, and Linda’s friends tried to slip away unnoticed, but the damage had been done. Everyone had seen the footage.
