My Parents Demanded I Cancel My Wedding Because Of My Spoiled Sister's "Bad Mood." Instead, I Didn't Invite Them, And Then All Hell Broke Loose

I picked up the phone, dialing numbers of extended family members, hoping they’d attend despite the drama. "Aunt Carol, it’s Katie," I started when she answered. We talked briefly about everything, skipping the messy details. "Of course, we’ll be there," she assured me. Each call was a small victory, a reminder that not everyone was caught up in Madison’s whims. Hearing their enthusiasm made me hopeful and more determined to make this day memorable.
