Family Wedding Drama: The Excluded Son
Our protagonist’s family is invited to her brother’s child-free wedding, but her 16-year-old son is excluded. She assumes that her brother’s and sister’s underage children are also not invited, but she later discovers that they are. The protagonist and her sister decide not to attend the wedding in solidarity with the excluded son, causing a rift in the family. The bride-to-be claims there’s a ‘good reason’ for the exclusion, but refuses to reveal it. Could it be related to the son’s decision to leave the family’s religion? As the drama unfolds, our protagonist is left questioning her actions and the true reason behind her son’s exclusion.
