Over 20 years later, my relatives will still make fun of me for ruining the wedding, even though the marriage didn't even last long enough for the marriage license to make it back to the States.

Oh, you got to wonder. And then it says, I don't think that's on me. No. Wedding two. Clearly, I hadn't been too big of an issue at the first wedding because guess who got to be a junior bridesmaid at the second one? I can't confirm this, but I'm pretty sure that this wedding was the final straw in my aunt and uncle, like a different aunt and uncle's divorce.

Uncle John had a bit too much to drink and was dancing very close to several women, none of whom were his wife. They left early, divorced soon after, and Uncle John never came to another family gathering except for to pick up his kids.

They had been on the outs for a while, so no real surprise, but the timing and the kind of drama of it kind of overshadowed the new marriage, which also did not last long. Wedding three. This wedding was actually very pleasant. It was on a river ferry that took us all on a nice cruise with the ceremony, dinner and dancing all on board.

We all thought Jen had finally had a drama-free wedding until their divorce a few years later when we learned that it wasn't a wedding at all. They had never filed the paperwork to get legally married and had lied to everyone to get a bunch of gifts and make it less of a thing. And then in parentheses, Catholic family. Whoa. When they started having kids. Got it. Wow.

Needless to say, my family was pissed with some relatives even demanding their gifts. Damn. You want the ice bucket back, really? That Cuisinart.
