Wedding Woes

Evil Sister-in-law

So, my brother's second wife is acting like a brat due to the fact I invited his 1st wife (who I've known since I was 12 and am FRIENDS with) and not her (who I have nothing in common with and although never acted/treated her with any disrespect but simply not friends with) to the bachlorette party. Now, she is threating to not "allow" my brother to come to the wedding. I've tried to applogize for hurting her feelings and telling her no disrespect was intended, it was a night for FRIENDS not family. But she won't listen. Only after she showed me blantant disrespect did I go off on her and finally tell her I find her to be selfish, shalow, vapid, and ignorant not to mention an attention seeking whore. She doesn't have to come to the wedding, but if my brother does not come I hope she can live with the consequences. She basically said she didn't gave a sh_t about my wedding. But I doubt she realiezes it's about more than the wedding. Any suggestions as to how to deal? I haven't spoken to my brother yet, as he is at work and the shizz hit the fan eariler in the day. I honestly dont think I could forgive my brother if he doesn't come. Our relationship has been crumbling since he married her, and I doubt it can survive this. Oh, did I mention my wedding is on the 18th?

    I'm not sure you're wanting to hear any other opinions any more, but just in case:

    I think life is too short for this kind of drama, anger, and holding grudges. Seems like there is plenty of blame to go around in this situation, for bad behavior.

    I do hope that ALL of you in your family/extended family can get past this, can give up on the need to be "right" or "wronged" and move toward peace and reconciliation. Get family counseling to help you, if you need it.

    You do it because you are adults. You do it for the sake of family harmony, and the future children/cousins yet to be born. 

    Best wishes.
