A Family Feud Brews: Graduation vs Wedding Rehearsal Dinner
In a twist of fate, our protagonist’s meticulously planned wedding rehearsal dinner collides with his sister’s high school graduation. The dinner, a traditional Thanksgiving feast, holds as much importance as the wedding itself, as it’s the only time both sides of his and his fiancée’s split families would be together. Despite being aware of the wedding plans for two years, his father drops the bombshell that they won’t be attending due to the graduation. Now, our groom-to-be is left grappling with feelings of betrayal and anger. Should he ask his family to skip the graduation and honor their commitment to his special day? Or should he swallow his disappointment and let them attend the graduation? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
