Six days before my wedding, my sister’s husband and eight-year-old child died in a car accident.
She begged me to cancel the wedding, but I said, “I can’t give up my day. We’ve already paid for everything.” She didn’t say anything after that.
On my wedding day, everything seemed perfect. We were all dancing and having a great time when my sister suddenly showed up, laughing loudly in the middle of the crowd.
Then, out of nowhere, there was a loud bang, and all the lights in the party venue went off. The music stopped abruptly.
To my horror, pictures of her husband and son appeared on the big projection wall that had been showing our wedding photos. I realized at that moment that she had planned to ruin my special day.
My sister then got up on stage, grabbed the microphone, and shouted at me, “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 stunned into silence, and soon after, the guests began to leave. My wedding day was completely ruined.

As a person who has paid for a wedding, I know you can not get back your money. In your sister’s grief, she lashed out at you because that was something she could control and do. There is nothing you could of done that would of changed what happened so no what if I had…Remember and focus on the memory of the wedding, not the reception. Try to forgive her, I know it will take time, but try to understand.
The bride is an absolute bitch with no redeeming qualities
Bride might well have given some screen time as a memorial to her nephew.
Good exercise in creative fiction.
