My sister (25F) was my maid of honor, and shes always had a flair for drama.

Fast forward to the big day.
Everythings going smoothly until the reception.
My sister gets wasted, like, falling-over, crying, causing-a-scene wasted.

But like, she ruined my wedding!
I dont think I should have to foot the bill for her meltdown.
But my parents think Im being cold-hearted and that its my responsibility to support her.
