It sounds like Mabel, the protagonist, handled the situation with a lot of restraint and wisdom, despite her daughter Amanda’s outrageous behavior. Amanda took advantage of the situation, hijacking Mabel’s wedding and even marrying her boyfriend, Kyle, in what was meant to be Mabel’s ceremony. However, instead of reacting with anger or public confrontation, Mabel decided to take a more subtle and clever approach by teaching Amanda a lesson in entitlement.
Rather than escalating the drama during the wedding, Mabel let Amanda enjoy the spotlight for a while, even as Amanda flaunted her new marriage. But Mabel’s retaliation came later, when she gifted Amanda a “honeymoon” to the Arctic—something Amanda would absolutely despise, given her preference for warm, tropical locations. Additionally, Mabel and Adam were able to have their own private wedding celebration with their loved ones, and the presents meant for Amanda’s wedding ended up going to them instead.
This clever turn of events highlights the theme of karma—Amanda, in her quest to steal the limelight, found herself in a tough situation, while Mabel and Adam got their well-deserved happy ending. It’s a great example of how sometimes, a calm response and letting someone “outsmart themselves” can lead to a more satisfying resolution than any dramatic confrontation.
