Everyone suddenly becomes an event planner, tossing out demands, opinions, and a list of essential guests.
Well, our bride from Reddit has a story that could give Cinderellas a run for its money.
Not exactly the picture-perfect stepmom.
Rene has pretty much been a poster child for family drama.
But ourbride, being the bigger person, tried to keep things cordial for the sake of her dad.
She and her fiance set a 200-person guest limit, already a stretch given their large families.
But Rene had other plans.
Of course, the couple said Thanks, but no thanks.
And thats when the fireworks began.
Because weddings are meant to celebrate love, not cater to someone elses ego.
But, first things first: set boundaries and stick to them like your life depends on it.
Let someone else, like a trusted friend or that no-nonsense cousin, handle the difficult conversations.
Thats what theprossuggest, at least.
And if you feel guilty, just remind yourself that even fairy tales have villains.
In our story, that might just be the brides dad.
Because instead of supporting his daughter, he sided with Rene.
Talk about emotional blackmail.
Yep, he skipped the wedding entirely, leaving his daughter crushed but determined to move forward.
Because rebuilding a relationship, even after estrangement, is hard, but not impossible.
