Wedding Woes

Good lord they need therapy

Dear Prudence,

My wife and her sister have never really gotten along, but at a recent family function, they both showed up wearing the same dress. They got into a shouting match, which soon turned physical, and both dresses ended up sustaining damage rendering them no longer wearable. These were expensive dresses (north of $500), and my SIL is demanding we pay for her dress, while my wife is demanding her sister reimburse her for her dress. I say they should take this as a lesson against acting like petulant children, but my wife is expecting me to take her side. Is there any way I can stay out of this shit show?

  • Tell her, Your family, your problems.

    This is utterly ridiculous.

    Assuming this isn’t a child bride situation and these two are not actually children- stay so far out of this. They’re being ridiculous but saying so is probably not going to make a bit of difference. 
  • Jesus. SIL and I have showed up in similar or the same outfits before. BIL gets a little weird about it but it's kind of funny. Literally not a big deal at all. 

    I really enjoyed that viral trend for awhile where families or big friend groups would unwittingly have their spouses all wear the same shirt and then meet up for a group event.

  • So your SIL called your wife a cootie queen and she said, "Who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker!?" 

    This is insane.  They destroyed each other's SAME DRESS.  Do they want to talk depreciation and who wore it for a longer time to see what it may be worth like the miles on a new car??
