My sister lost her husband and 8-year-old son in a crash six days before my wedding. She wanted me to cancel, but I said, “I cannot sacrifice my day. We have already paid for everything.” She was silent. On the big day, as we were all dancing, my sister appeared in the crowd, laughing hysterically.
Then all of a sudden, we hear a massive sound as all the lights in the party venue switched off at once, and the music abruptly stopped. Horrified, I saw her son and husband’s images appear on the large projection wall where our wedding photos were displayed. In that moment, I realized she had orchestrated a plan to ruin my special day.
My sister then got up on stage and took the microphone, addressing me by saying, “You’re up here dancing and partying while your little nephew died less than a week ago. Shame on you!” Before leaving the stage, she added, “When you have kids of your own, I will treat them with the same indifference you treated mine!”
Everyone was silent after that, and the guests started leaving shortly after. My day was totally ruined. Was I to blame? Leah
