I may be easily annoyed, but I think I'm justified in being bothered by the following story. Maybe people who have gone through a wedding or two could let me know their thoughts.
My friend Lynn got married this weekend. It was a beautiful wedding with plenty of food, lots of free booze and great dancing.
I couldn't enjoy myself.
I spent a lot of time trying to spot the evil sister-in-law (SIL) and her equally evil husband. Apparently a couple of months ago (after several months planning Lynn's wedding), the evil SIL called up Lynn and told her that she was going to be getting married one month before Lynn's wedding. Since she is older than the groom, it was her right to get married before her brother.
Lynn was obviously shocked, blown-away, upset, whatever else you would naturally feel when a person who was soon to become family side-swipes your plans like that, but she couldn't say anything. The evil SIL made sure to declare rather than to ask.
So the evil SIL gets married... in Israel. All of the groom's family members took time off to attend this wedding, which meant they couldn't take all the time off required for Lynn's wedding. All the plans for the wedding WEEK were reduced to plans for the wedding WEEKEND.
You'd like to think that is all, but the evil SIL married an equally evil man who happened to be a groomsman for Lynn's wedding. He decided 2 weeks before the wedding to tell Lynn and the groom that since he is spending a lot of money travelling from Israel, he doesn't want to spend more money renting a tux nor buying one.
Lynn didn't want to cause any trouble so she acquiesced to his demands. All the groomsmen wore suits.
I'm pissed. I am fuming. How dare anyone tell a bride how to have her wedding?
But that's not all. WHY DID THE BRIDE LET THIS HAPPEN???
I could never enter a family that would bully me. I could never allow myself to get bullied. Is it worth it? Should you really say I do?
