“YTA. All of you are TA except the bride and groom. She’s a health care worker in a health crisis that is still very much happening. Maybe we non-health people don’t see it, but folks who work in hospitals sure do. And if you read the news, with all the announcements about temporary ER closures here and there, it’s very likely that she is under a ton of pressure. What’s worse; no one has any idea when the pressure is going to end. You said yourself that she hardly ever has more than two days off. They’re severely pressed for time. And you folks want them to find time and money to plan a traditional Italian/Mexican extravaganza? You’re all dreaming in technicolour. I have faith that, if you all care you about them, then you will all calm down and adjust to this. One day, in an unknown future, when their lives are less crazy, you all can get together and have the biggest party anyone has ever seen. (Please invite me when it happens. I bet the food will be amazing! )”

“YTA obviously. Your brother and his wife wanted a marriage not a wedding. My husband and I eloped years ago to avoid the cost, drama and exhausting hoops you have to jump through with big weddings. It isn’t uncommon for people to want to skip the whole thing and just get married in a private ceremony. They don’t owe anyone a church ceremony, a reception or even rings. The fact that he has had to block all of you is a clear indication you all are overbearing AH and you need to back off or you’ll lose any chance of having a relationship with your brother in the future.”
