Amy’s dreamed of this venue since high school. Everything else is booked or three times the price.”
She went on: “I told Carol I can’t lose the deposit and crush Amy’s dreams. Carol says I’m choosing money over her mental health.
That I’m forcing her to relive the worst betrayal of her life for ’pretty pictures’.”
Even Amy shared her perspective. “I also talked to Amy about it, and she does not want a venue change. That it’s not her fault Mark (who has been out of all our lives for the last 5 years) ruined that place for Carol.” But the conversation only inflamed tensions further.
“Carol called Amy a ’spoiled’ person who wouldn’t understand real pain.”
Then came the fallout. “Now Carol’s skipping Thanksgiving. My and Carol’s side of the family (her daughters and, to some extent, my parents) says I’m heartless.
The place is cursed anyway, why should we host Amy’s big day there?”
She ended her post with a final reflection on the family divide: “My husband’s side of the family says Carol doesn’t get to hijack Amy’s wedding because her husband’s a cheater.”
