Dear Abby: You can't make this stuff up!

Nonna T, on February 10, 2016 at 8:25 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 15

DEAR ABBY: My son, "Chad," is being married in June to "Jenny," a girl his sister "Madison" introduced him to. Madison feels she should be a bridesmaid in their wedding because she introduced them. Madison had sex with Jenny's boyfriend "Axel" before she met Chad, got pregnant and had Axel's baby.

Jenny feels Madison screwed up her life and, even though she's about to marry my son, she doesn't want to reward Madison by asking her to be in the wedding. My daughter says if she's not in the wedding she won't attend, and won't allow her son (by Axel) to be the ring bearer, either.

I feel Chad and his fiancee should be able to have their wedding the way they want. I do not want to miss my only son's wedding because my daughter feels slighted. What should I do and say? -- COMPLICATED IN WEST VIRGINIA

    DEAR COMPLICATED: While it's unfortunate that Jenny can't let bygones be bygones in the interest of future family harmony, you must not allow your daughter to dictate the plans for her brother's wedding. When the big day arrives, you should definitely attend and celebrate with Chad and Jenny. If Madison chooses not to attend as a guest, that's her decision, and you should not allow her to make it your problem.

    Why the hell would Mom miss her son's wedding? Just because Madison isn't a bridesmaid doesn't mean she's not invited. That is, if she stops being a selfish bitch...

    Hahahaha... Well at least the mom didn't say "I think "Jenny" is being a b**** for not letting "Madison" in the wedding. Madison is her SISTER IN LAW. That should mean something even though she slept with Jenny's boyfriend."

    That mother should have brought her problem here to the WW ladies. She would have been given all kinds of good advice! Smiley smile

    At least Jenny doesn't have to worry about Madison sleeping with her man again...

    Funny thing is, I know a story of a friend that is very close to this (cousins instead of siblings but still). They say truth is stranger than fiction and they are right!

    I just imagine pregnant Madison telling Jenny she's sooooo sorry for sleeping with her boyfriend and she'll make it up to her by introducing her to Chad.
