My crazy aunt was never married & never had kids. We have a small family & she keeps everyone at arms length, except me because I’m the closest family member she has left. She’s always been incredibly private & has a superiority complex, and always is looking out for herself.
Since I got engaged, she’s been making odd comments. She’s asked me if she could be ‘the mother of the bride’ (mind you, she didn’t raise me - my mom died a few years ago & my aunt has never showed a remotely maternal side), trashed my choices for the wedding to the point that I don’t tell her anything other than the when & where, and a couple weeks ago insinuated multiple times that I ‘flash my ring around’ (I was turning on the AC per her request when she said this, so literally just using my hand).
WELL today it went to another level. Not only did she go out and buy herself a diamond ring randomly yesterday, she told me she’s been shopping for “one of those sapphire rings with diamonds around it.” THATS MY ENGAGEMENT RING & SHE DREW NO CONNECTION. She’s never been interested in sapphires before. There was no acknowledgment that my ring is the same as what she has apparently been shopping for, and I was too in shock to say anything myself.
My fiancé thinks she’s absolutely lost it and is probably going to try to show up to my wedding in white too. We don’t think she’s doing anything intentionally but her superiority complex just can’t handle me getting married. Will be tagging in a family friend to avoid the white attire on wedding day ahead of time.
Open to laughs on this if anyone has similar experiences or jokes 😅
