Weddings are meant to be a celebration of love and unity, but sometimes they can also be a breeding ground for drama. When a 26-year-old bride-to-be sent out wedding invitations specifying an ‘ADULTS ONLY’ policy, she thought she was making her wishes crystal clear. However, her cousin Sam had other ideas, and a heated exchange ensued. Will the bride stand her ground, or will she cave to her cousin’s emotional appeals?
