My husband and I recently hosted the wedding of our daughter in the historical museum of our beautiful upscale California beach town. The reception was described as “cocktails, dinner and dancing,” and children were not included. Dress clearly was listed as “festive cocktail attire.
I wonder if my sister-in-law did this on purpose out of jealousy, as her own daughter, a decade older than mine, appears content not to marry her longtime partner.All the speculation has very much hurt my husband, who remembers what his sister did at our own wedding more than 35 years ago: I had met her only a couple of times but included her on a group trip to choose bridesmaid dresses. Afterward, she phoned my husband to demand that he pay for her dress.
