What pisses me off SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH about such aunties is that they don’t realize that hurting the bride’s feelings on her wedding day is like ROBBING her of what could have been pleasant memory for her to look back on.
I HATE people like this. You can’t even enjoy a good memory, because they turn it sour. And I don’t agree with giving such aunties the benefit of the doubt. These aunties were young at one point…they too were once brides…and they should know from THEIR OWN PAST EXPERIENCE how stressed out a bride is and that they should have the frickin courtesy not to stress her out even more.
And SanaZaidi, you may not think your aunt was jealous…but I DO. Just because she was the “cool aunti” who was real “tight” and “down” with you girls…doesn’t mean that she’s a perfect person who is immune from jealousy. Regardless of the political drama surrounding the dress…there was no need for her to make such comments. She could have dealt with her “political” conflicts in a different manner.
She may be jealous that your clothes were custom made…and more expensive…more prettier/trendier than her own daughter’s clothes. Don’t let her get to you. The next time that she puts you down, just calmly respond with the comment I suggested in my previous post in this thread. That’ll put her in her place.
