I HELPED PLAN MY SIL’S WEDDING, BAKED THE CAKE, PAID FOR THE CATERING—THEN I FOUND OUT ON THE WEDDING DAY THAT I WASN’T INVITED
When my brother Liam got engaged to Claire, I wanted to support them. Claire begged for my help, so I went all in:
Designed invitations
Booked vendors
Coordinated the venue
Paid for catering and the wedding cake
As a professional baker, I spent days crafting a multi-tiered cake Claire ordered.
Then, hours before the wedding, my mom stormed in, furious.
Mom: “Sweetheart… you’re not on the guest list.”
I laughed. “What? That’s ridiculous. I’m literally HOLDING THEIR WEDDING CAKE.”
Mom: “Claire’s mom said you’re not invited. And she won’t let you in.”
My hands shook. I had spent days making sure their day was perfect.
Liam was livid when he found out.
Liam: “Did you SERIOUSLY not invite my sister?”
Claire rolled her eyes.
Claire: “Ugh, Liam, not now. Can we NOT do this on our wedding day?”
Liam: “She PAID for the food. She spent DAYS on your cake. And you just—what? Pretended she didn’t exist?”Groceries
Claire scoffed. “Fine. You wanna know the reason?”
