Her Stepsister Showed Up To Her Wedding In A White, Showy Cocktail Dress, So This Is Why She Doesn’t Want To Invite Her To Attend Her Son’s Baptism
A 32-year-old woman got married to her 33-year-old husband 2 years ago, and they just welcomed a son together.
Back when they got married, their wedding was on the smaller side, with only those closest to them on the guest list.
“My parents divorced when I was twenty, and my dad remarried when I was twenty-five,” she explained.
“His new wife has a daughter, “Kelly,” who’s 26. I’ve lived in a different country since I graduated from university, so I’ve only met Kelly on a handful of occasions, and we’re not close. However, I included her in the invite list because she’s part of my dad’s family.”
“On my wedding day, Kelly showed up in a pure white cocktail dress. It was extremely over-the-top (think mid-thigh slit, plunging neckline). Very much a “draw attention to yourself” type of dress. Even ignoring the color, it was super inappropriate as we got married in a church.”
She did her very best at her wedding to pay Kelly no attention, but all of her loved ones couldn’t stop staring and wondering who she actually was.
Some of her loved ones even questioned if she had allowed Kelly to wear a white dress, which she obviously did not.
Kelly caused a lot of drama, and she says Kelly’s outfit choice did not entirely ruin her wedding day, though it sure left a bad taste in her mouth.
“I spoke to my dad about it afterward, and he told me that he hadn’t realized what she was going to wear until they got to the church (she traveled separately), or he’d have told her not to,” she said.

“He said he’d spoken to her about it, and she said that she didn’t realize it would be inappropriate to wear white because the wedding was in a different country. We got married in France, and I refuse to believe she genuinely thought the rules on wedding attire are drastically different here.”
So, anyway, here she is, about to celebrate the baptism of her newborn son, and she intentionally left Kelly off the guest list.
She already mailed out the invitation, and the one that was sent to her dad and his wife did not have Kelly’s name on it.
As soon as her dad got the invitation, he phoned her up to ask if she had somehow forgotten to invite Kelly.
She pointed out to her dad that she didn’t get to invite her; she just didn’t want Kelly there at all because she caused such a scene on her wedding day.
She felt humiliated by Kelly on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, and she wants to do everything to prevent Kelly from ruining her son’s baptism too.
“My dad’s wife is very upset and has stated clearly that if she’s not invited, none of them will be going,” she continued. “It puts my dad in a tough position, but I don’t want her there.”
She’s left wondering if it’s really so wrong of her not to want Kelly there. Would you want to exclude Kelly, too, if you were in this situation?
