So everyone knows about the wedding on Wednesday. I just talked to my mom today, and kept lots of the opinions of the whole thing to myself. Towards the end of the conversation she asked about when I said bye to my brother and his bride. Apparently his bride said I walked up to them and said "bye" and walked away. Which is not the truth at all, instead, I hugged them both, told them congratulations (again, which I felt weird doing because I had said it in the receiving line, but honestly didn't know what else to say), and thanks for inviting us and we left. My FI hugged her, and shook my brothers hand...my daughter hugged them both and we were on our way...
I have no idea why she would go up to my mom and say this. Now, it's just adding yet another layer of all this drama going on between my brother and I (and inevitably my FI). I’m glad my mom said something to be because that’s really unfair to make me look like such a horrible person. Apparently when she said this to my mom, my mom said “well, just say Bye to her at her wedding.” The bride then responded “No, I was raised better than that” to which my mom said “well, so was she.” This is just great. Now I don’t know what to do. Part of me wants to send a text to my brother to tell him that this wasn’t right and it’s not what happened, as obviously she's telling people about it, but then I feel like I should let it go. My FI really doesn’t want my brother at our wedding, and I really can’t blame him (after he ran around telling my mom that our marriage wasn’t going to last and lots of other things). However, we still have quite some time, so there is time for the air to be cleared…I’ve attempted to clear this up with him previously, but to no avail. Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions?
