We were at a wedding yesterday and we’re still at the hotel.
Husband had been out with a friend a few weeks ago and she had told him that the groom’s brother had stepped down from being best man as his stepson had not been invited.
I was delighted at this as when same thing happened to us my husband wasn’t supportive
It then emerged that he had tried to stop his own son from going but child’s mother and rest of family stepped in.
Yesterday came along and there is groom’s brother, wife and stepson sitting at back of church in casual clothes.
They then stood at entrance to churchyard at which point mother of groom saw him and started crying Family and friends including my DH shook hands.
We check in to hotel and come down and nephew is being comforted by the ushers
Brother of groom, wife and stepchild had come to hotel as well, where they stayed in the entrance for four hours.
He claimed he just wanted to be on the periphery of his brother’s big day.
I was half cringing and half admiring. I wanted to curtsy for his sheer chutzpah.
No one is talking about anything else.
