Weddings are supposed to be a time of love and celebration, but for one family, it’s turning into a battleground. Our anonymous storyteller is getting married next May, and her brother and his fiancée, Claire, are getting married that August. Their parents generously offered to pay for both weddings, but with a catch: they want some say in the planning. While our storyteller accepted the offer, Claire wasn’t on board, leading to a series of dramatic confrontations.
