I was thinking more along the lines of an “accidental” red wine spill, but yeah. Susan needs to know in no uncertain terms that she’s not welcome at the wedding or the reception and that if she tries to crash, she will be removed.

I was reading along in the thread, and was worried about Susan in the wedding. I’m relieved to read that she’s no longer welcome. There’s no telling WHAT she would do at a wedding.

You know what? My sister has beautiful hair too. She’s got long, wavy, thick hair that she inherited from my mom’s side of the family. While I got the baby-fine, poke-straight hair from my dad’s side. I think the next time that my sister mentions that she needs to make a hair appointment, because she needs her ends trimmed, I’m going to go up to her and hack a big chunk off of her hair. Then I’ll wave it in her face and say, “SEE!!! You don’t need to make an appointment now!!!”

After all, it’s her own fault, flaunting the fact that she got the GOOD genes. :rolleyes:

Okay, wow. The hair cutting is one thing, but literally rubbing it in?? That’s a whole new level of asshole, right there.

Glad she’s no longer in your wedding. That is definitely not someone I’d want to deal with on what’s supposed to be my big day.
