The Chaos at My Sister’s Wedding
u/Jill-Sanwich: Not my wedding, my older sister’s. We’ll call her A. When our oldest sister, B, got married, she didn’t even invite A, but A had been trying to improve their relationship and invited B despite this.
Recently, divorced B attended the wedding with a good friend of A’s husband-to-be. She started the night by being super rude to my grandparents and aunt and refusing to come into the dressing room with all the girls, promptly making it awkward for everyone. Our mom also refused to be in the dressing room for some reason.
Before the ceremony, B makes an uncomfortable joke to her future brother-in-law about being busy getting intimate with his friend all day. B and her date were the only people dancing at the reception (it was held in the honeymoon suite of a hotel), and she was shamelessly getting close to him in front of family members who used to change our diapers. I pulled her aside and talked to her about this, and she laughed in my face but did stop afterward.
However, she convinced her date, who had been friends with the groom for 20+ years and grew up with him in Alaska, to start a fight with the groom. I’m convinced my sister was the first person ever to let this guy get intimate with her because, for some reason, he did. Some ugly things were said, a few other friends of 20+ years intervened, and the best man decided it might be best if B’s date left the reception.
Mind you, A and my brother-in-law didn’t ask him to do this, and only B’s date was asked to leave. B responded by jumping up and drunkenly announcing to anyone she passed on her way out that her “OWN SISTER” had kicked her out. Our mom then went around apologizing to everyone at the reception, including people who didn’t even see what had happened.
