Youd think an event designed to bring people together would be a little less… combustible.
But no, weddings can turn the most level-headed folks into walking soap opera characters.
Just ask ourbride she knows that all too well.
But, as with all great tales of family drama, theres a lot more bubbling under the surface.
Dad and Mary tied the knot, but it wasnt exactly a family affair for Sarah.
Ouch, that was a low blow.
She patched things up with her dad, but with Mary?
Lets just say theyre about as close as oil and water.
Seems fair, right?
Not to Mary, who was throwing a fit worthy of a Broadway performance.
She was not just unhappy about the situation, she was uncomfortable and felt entitled to a front-row seat.
Dad, who had been bankrolling part of the wedding, asked his daughter to reconsider.
And honestly, why should it be?
After all, Sarah wasnt exactly the guest of honor at Marys wedding.
Theres not enough room in the first row for Mary to sit with my dad.
No thanks, Sarah recalls.
When Sarah refused to budge, Mary hit back where it hurt: the wallet.
And for Sarah, that front row was reserved for those whove truly been there for her.
Wedding planning is already stressful enough but add an entitled stepmom into the mix and things might get messy.
What truly matters is anchoring it in love and authenticity.
Sarah would have probably avoided this whole drama if she had just given her stepmom a front row seat.
Which would have probably been good advice for Sarahs dad to listen to, before he remarried.
