44. Happy ending by the inlaws
The bride was super demanding that everyone fly across the country to her wedding. I got there a week early to help and she was micromanaging everything from the shade of white on the tablecloths to the spice level in food (too cheap for caterer).
We would ask her how we could help and she directed my husband to set up napkins on tables in an overlapping pattern (turquoise on white on turquoise on white) so he spent 4 hours doing it. She flips out when she comes back and says he’s ruined her wedding. Why? When he set it up the way she wanted, she couldn’t see the monograms on the napkins.
Her in-laws cuss out my husband, assure her that nothing will be allowed to go wrong today, and then a team of them descend on the tables to ‘fix’ it. Still went to the wedding, but we haven’t spoken since.
