Was I wrong for not letting my fiancé's sister be my maid of honor a week before the wedding?
Oh, I forgot to mention — she wrecked my life in just two days.
I'd always dreamed of meeting Meredith, Collin's sister. I wanted us to be one family. But from the second she showed up, things went downhill fast. She was way too close to Collin (like, they tickled each other, slept together, and even TOOK BATHS TOGETHER). Plus, she treated me like dirt — rude, dismissive, and constantly putting me down while Collin just stood by and LET IT ALL HAPPEN!
I reached my breaking point. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, Collin came in while I was crying in my room over her words.
He: "Meredith wants to be the maid of honor."
Me:"I already have a maid of honor — my best friend. The wedding is in a week. I'm not changing it."
He: "Why not?"
Me: "I don't want to. And it's clear Meredith doesn't like me."
He: "That's not true! She's my family."
Me: "Who am I, Collin? I'm the one you'll be living with for the rest of your life, not her."
He: "Well, Meredith wants to move in with us after the wedding."
LIKE, WHAT THE HELL?!
Me: "Are you out of your mind?! NO WAY!" I asked.
Collin walked out, slamming the door.
Later, I went downstairs and saw Collin and Meredith talking. I stopped, listening.
She: "I knew she wouldn't agree...That woman isn't good enough for you."
He: "She's so stubborn."
She: "You need to give her an ultimatum, Collin. Either I'm the maid of honor, or there's no wedding."
My head was spinning, but what shocked me even more was Collin's response.
He: "You're right."
I felt rage boiling inside me. I marched into the room, my voice shaking as I shouted, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH!"
