Not My Problem
Just a few days before I got married, my husband-to-be’s aunt called me up out of the blue. She wanted separate family portraits taken. Thing is, I had already hired and planned with a professional photographer operating on my schedule, and now she was looking for my approval for individual family shots.
I wasn’t open to the suggestion and expressed how disrespectful I found it for her to contact the bride and ask for such a considerable favor with only a handful of days left until the ceremony. After that, several of her relatives jumped into the fray.
I stood my ground, said no to all of them, and made it clear that I wouldn’t listen to anymore about it.
