    I'm kind of amazed she's invited, but it I knew you IRL I would be so excited for your wedding now. I want to see how your family spins this one (to make it that no, she's not a crazy bitch).

    And also I would be waiting for someone to wine-bomb her or "accidentally" leave some cake on her seat. PPs are right, your sis should be on tv.




    I'd be worried about sis trying to wine-bomb you. My BSC sis is very similar to yours. She "accidentally" dropped food on my dress. There are a lot of these accidents whenever something big is happening in my life.

    Your BSC sis is probably waiting for you to have a meltdown over her dress so she can play the victim.

    Sigh, of course she did. Just keep handing her rope the rope darling, she's the one who will look like a jackass, not you.

    The thought process is just so off to me.  For someone who likes to play the victim, wearing a big white dress pretty much negates everything she is trying to fight for as her "image."  So...good luck with that, BSC sis.  

    Glad you're taking it in stride.

    Sounds about right.


    Laughter is the best medicine.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    That sounds like an outfit out of the Hunger Games.
    So I'm picturing this:

    Which means she's going to come to your wedding like this:

    This is EXACTLY where my brain went reading that description.

    That's perfect. Like so perfect. I'm incredibly excited for your wedding recap already haha. Can we see a picture of your sisters engagement party dress?


    You are one classy lady. Keep it up. 
    I can't find an actual picture, and I can't find it online (don't even know what brand it was) but it had a huge high collar that stood straight up, almost exactly like this:

    image

    And then it was more of a bright fuscia color, tea length, and super poofy. And she made sure there was plenty of cleavage showing, with her hair in a big dramatic up-do on top of her head, with a huge dramatic neon-yellow statement necklace.

    Everyone else-- including me-- was in super simple, comfy, casual summer clothes with flipflops and whatnot. And my dress was ugly. I know this because my sister told me. :P

    Hahhaahahhahahhahhahahaha

    Your sister is going to look like a huge asshole at your wedding. I love it.

    And when you go up to her like nothing is wrong all happy and stuff.... yeah she will realize she can't push your buttons anymore.


    Seriously, if you choose to talk to her. Be nice. Tell her how nice she looks. That will piss her off.
    You are a million percent right with this. The more I gain perspective on her shit, the more I just don't care and think it's funny. The more I don't care, the more she can't get a reaction out of me, which is what she wants. So the more I win.

    oh and I forgot about this gem too: my dad is registered in a golf tournament on my wedding day. Again, not mad. I'm actually super excited about this one because he won't be hovering around me all day driving me fucking nuts. (He gets rampage-Godzilla-psycho anytime he's prepping for any sort of event, so I was DREADING having to deal with him all day).

    Again, all I have to do here is sit back and laugh. Assholes and psychos can put up whatever facade they want, but their true colors always come out sooner or later. I am not at all surprised that he did this. FI is pissed, but I keep telling him it's a really really really good thing for us. And my dad is the one who will look like an ass when everyone else is getting ready and wondering where the fuck he is.

    Shit is finally falling into place.

    I imagine her trying to push you out of photos so she can pose with your FI and pretend she's the bride.  And then pretend to be hurt and confused when she's told the picture is meant to be for you.

     

    Please post a picture of her in this long white gown.  I genuinely can't wait to see it.  Good for you for taking it all in stride!

    And anytime a guest says "congratulations!" she'll probably turn around and say "thank you!"

    The only thing that worries me is that if she's known for making a scene, I think you need to be prepared that your dress may have a DIY red wine dye effect by the end of your reception.   Not that anything can take away your happiness or that will make her look like she isn't BSC but if she's known for making a scene and you aren't giving her the opportunity to look like the poor victim, what's stopping her from doing something accidentally on purpose?
     
    And there's no way I'd leave my food or drinks unattended around her either.

    If you guys see the news headline: "Bride Gets Arrested on Wedding Day for Punching Sister in the Mouth" it was me. 

    I think I'm going to warn some close friends (who already know her, and are very familiar with her antics) to keep an eye out. And I've already warned the site manager who will be around the entire time. Cuz you're right, that's definitely a possibility. Sometimes when you don't give crazy people the reaction they want, they give up and settle down. But sometimes they escalate the crazy....

    Exactly!    We were really worried about our GM's BSC girlfriend.   She was also the ex girlfriend of another guest, the former roommate of yet another guest (and she rarely paid rent) and was a psychohosebeast to me in college.   We're talking unscrew the peephole and see what you're doing in your dorm room full on nut bag.       Oh, and she hit on DH and tried to break us up at the beginning of our relationship.   

    Luckily, she turned out to be just fine because she knew that she'd be escorted out of there in a hot second but she also wasn't family.

    Your sister is so insane, and so predictable. 

    Your mom really doesn't know that it's gauche to wear a wedding dress to someone else's wedding? I doubt it.

    lol I bet you're right. (Cuz I know my mom would never wear white to a wedding, and she was even snarking on FMIL for wanting to wear pink to match the BMs!) 

    I bet she's just so scared to piss off my sister and so worried about making the situation worse that she played it off to be a great thing so I wouldn't get mad. I wasn't gonna get mad regardless, but my mom is very theatrical and dramatic. I think she thinks life is a soap opera.

    Kind of related:

    I went to dinner one night with my cousin and there was a reception taking place in the next room. We see one girl walk by in a flowing goddess like wedding gown and comment how nice she looked. About 15 minutes later another woman walks by in a similar wedding gown. She and I now try to decide who is the bride. For the record, we saw the groomsmen walk the groom in, but not the bridesmaids and bride so we know it's not a same sex couple. 

    Long after the conversation is done, I head it the restroom. On the way I pass 3 tables who are also trying to figure out who the bride is and why the other girl is wearing a wedding dress also. Well, in the bathroom the first girl we saw in the wedding dress is crying and throwing up in the sink while 2 other women hold her hair and look at each other rolling their eyes hard. I wished them all well on my way out and the girl throwing up in the wedding dress turns around and says something to effect of, what do you care if I'm well? I'm not the bride! Um ok weirdo. Just trying to be nice? 

    Your stories are going to way better. So happy you have a good sense of humor about this. Your sister sucks so hard and everyone either knows it or will know it by the end of the wedding!

    Oh man, I wish I knew the whole story on the throwing up chick! That sounds like a good one lol. What a mess. 

    I interpret that as her being a total AW crazypants, hence the dress, and when she didn't get the attention she needed, she started guzzling liquor, hence the puking. Class act.
