Main attraction

Today, my mother thought it would be a wonderful idea to make me late for me own wedding. It wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't focused solely on my sister because my wedding didn't center on her. The sister in question snubbed being my maid of honor over a year ago, and just decided to randomly show up. FML

Please tell me you at least barred both of them from the reception for their little stunt (assuming they didn't apologize appropriately and profusely, which, judging by your tone and that you're posting here at all, they did not). Ah well, focus on your new beginnings with your spouse... And perhaps severely cutting contact down with your shitty family of origin. Perhaps down to zero, if it would greatly benefit your mental health. There's wonders in simply not having to care about them and their assholish ways anymore, after all.

Your sister is the golden child... I am sorry and I understand it is difficult, but if your mother cannot make space for you at your own wedding, you may want to go very low contact with her. Especially if she does not even apologises. Because this kind of thing may happen no matter how hard you try and in the end it's going to cause you more harm than what it's worth. Congrats on your wedding!

She "randomly" showed up, huh? You mean like she throws darts at maps and crashes weddings wherever the dart lands and this process led her to your wedding? No? Then maybe you ought to study probability and find out what "random" really means.

Perhaps you ought to study things such as "tone" and "implication", and realize that in reading comprehension there's more than just the literal words on the page/screen in the actual meaning. Unless this is a bit that you've committed super-hard to. In which case, I'm seriously impressed, but utterly baffled that you'd choose "completely literal, utterly devoid of any compassion, yet feels compelled to stick his nose into people's business to comment on literal language usage without understanding anything else about broader intonation and storytelling"-guy as a character to be. But the fact that's a plausible enough internet rando really does say something about the state of the internet, doesn't it? Ah well, Poe's Law and all that.

Cut them both out of your life, they sound toxic as hell.

Didn't mean to hit the YDI button!

Shit like this is why I'm eloping. Sorry that happened to you, OP.
