Wedding Woes

Diabolical

Dear Prudence,

My sister “Evelyn” had a bad breakup with her ex, “Paul,” four years ago, and has never gotten over it. Recently, she learned that Paul is getting married in May. She confided to me that she plans on showing up at the ceremony in a wedding dress to demand that he marry her instead! I didn’t think she was serious until she showed me the dress she plans to wear. My question is: Do I warn Paul of Evelyn’s plan so he and his fiancée can implement protective measures, or is this a case of not my circus, not my monkeys?

  • Oh come on Evelyn, don’t make me side with a man.

  • Yes, tell them. The venue needs security. 

  • Yes.  But also tell your sister that you think it's unhinged and it's not going to go well for her.  At all.   

    Not only would I warn the venue and the betrothed couple but I would try to talk the sister through it.   And if it doesn't play out the way she thinks, what's the long term plan? I'd be concerned that she's so out of touch with reality that she needs help. 
  • This is insane. Contact Paul and warn him about what Evelyn is planning to do. He can then choose whether to believe you or not and whether to hire security.

    And tell Evelyn that you think this is an awful, completely inappropriate plan that will not end well for her, and that you will not be helping her deal with any consequences.

  • This is insane, yes you tell Paul but you also tell your sister this is unhinged and she needs to think about the consequences if she goes through with it.
