In a letter to Abby, a woman shares her frustration about a wedding day gone awry due to her sister's excessive drinking. Although they planned a simple courthouse ceremony, the sister insisted on celebrating afterward, resulting in her becoming inebriated and taking control of activities. This behavior overshadowed the couple's intended private celebration, leading to disappointment. Abby advises the bride to recognize the potential drinking problem and to have firmly established expectations to prevent such chaos in the future.
You and your husband should have told her that what she was proposing wasn't what you had planned, and parted ways.
If this was the first time you noticed your sister's drinking problem, that’s understandable. If it isn't, recognize your role in the situation.
Your sister took charge during a celebration and got too drunk, overshadowing the magical day you had planned together.
After the ceremony, it would have been best for you to assert your plans instead of letting her influence your celebration.
