She’s Refusing To Let Her Cousin Get Married In Their Family’s Summer House For Free
This twenty-eight-year-old woman comes from a very large, conservative family. Well, more specifically, her mother’s side of the family.
Nonetheless, her mother was kind of the “black sheep”– because, at sixteen years old, her mom gave birth to her.
After that, she and her mother lived with her grandparents until her mom came out. She was only nine years old at the time.
“That was the limit for my grandfather, and he disowned my mother. My mother also cut all contact with her family,” she recalled. So, she never really saw her family after that.
Her grandparents, though, had quite a lot of money. And one of their most significant assets was a large summer house located on a beautiful lake.
It was first built by her great grandfather and has been maintained and renovated over the years to remain in pristine condition.
So, when she was younger, the home was known as a sort of family retreat where everyone would vacation during the summer.
But, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both her grandfather and mother tragically passed away. This massive loss prompted her grandmother to finally reach out and try to make amends– which actually made her happy.
Just last year, though, her grandmother ended up passing away, too. But, her grandmother left her with quite a surprise.

“She left token sums to all of her children and grandchildren, but she also left me the summer house. I made it into an Airbnb and have been making a lot of cash from it,” she explained.
So, if you could not have guessed it, this made the rest of her family utterly furious– mostly because they could no longer visit during the summertime. And just last week, she felt the wrath of her aunt.
“My aunt reached out to me and told me, not asked, that her daughter had planned to have her wedding there next summer. She has been dreaming of it since she was a child and, apparently, it’s the designated family wedding spot,” she said.
But, her aunt ended up asking for a wedding date that was already booked on Airbnb. So, she told her aunt no and said her aunt could put down a deposit on another wedding date.
This utterly shocked her aunt, though, who could not believe that she would charge the family. Nonetheless, she explained how they are not really “family” to her at all.
“I said I did not know them and have not met them in person since I was like six years old. So yes, I would be [charging them] because weddings bring in a lot of money,” she vented.
And ever since putting her aunt in her place, she has been receiving endless angry calls and social media messages from her family claiming that she is a total jerk. So now, she is not sure if refusing to host the wedding for free was really the wrong thing to do.
If you were in her shoes, would you charge your family, too? Is it wrong of them to expect anything for free after what happened over the years?
