Last summer, this 27-year-old woman had her bridal shower. Unfortunately, her family members aren’t usually very supportive, so throughout all the wedding planning, they haven’t helped her out too much, even though her two sisters, as well as her niece, were going to stand up at her wedding.

Her in-laws offered to plan her bridal shower, and she was thrilled. Since there was obviously a ton of hard work, hours, and money spent on putting this shower together, she was incredibly grateful.

Since her in-laws have friends who own a golf course, this was the venue they chose for the party. On the day of her bridal shower, her 35-year-old sister, Jen, and Jen’s daughter, Anne, 14, came over before the shower started.

Jen and Anne assisted with setting up for the party, but Jen chose to grab a drink and chat more than actually help.

This meant that she and her in-laws were the ones doing most of the work. When some of the party guests started showing up, she went to see what Jen was up to.

“She laughs, saying how ‘she only had a few sips of her drink.’ It was half-gone. She makes it obvious to everyone how Anne must have been drinking her beverage when she wasn’t looking, but she laughs it off,” she said.

Later, both her mother and one of her bridesmaids said that they witnessed Anne chug quite a few mimosas that had been set out for guests, so it was obvious that Anne wasn’t only sneaking sips of Jen’s drink.

When she received this information, tons of people had already arrived, and the party officially began not long after. They started off playing some games and then went to eat.

“I heard a crashing sound behind me. My niece desperately tried to push chairs over in her attempt to make it to the bathroom but didn’t make it,” she explained.

“She projectile vomited in the middle of my bridal shower. I knew exactly why she was puking, and I was angry, to say the least.”

Her sister-in-law had flown in to attend the bridal shower and was the one who cleaned up the horrible mess.

Understandably, some of the guests lost their appetites after this ordeal. Jen later tried to claim that Anne was ill so that no one knew why she had really thrown up all over the place.

Even though Anne is young, she is aware of the ramifications of her actions. The fact that she was trying to consume alcohol without anyone noticing made that clear. Because Anne is a teenager, she’s becoming more rebellious.

Her assumption was that Anne may not have been as intoxicated as it seemed and that it was mainly the carbonation in the champagne that upset her stomach.

When the party was over, she and her in-laws were cleaning up the venue, and she walked up to Jen, assuming that she would say sorry and express how terrible she felt for what happened. Instead, Jen began screaming at her.

“She is one of those people who does not accept blame for anything. She was embarrassed and needed someone to lash out at. To Jen, me having a negative reaction to the situation was worse than her allowing her daughter/my niece to be alcohol-induced projective vomiting at a bridal shower,” she shared.

From her perspective, even though Anne made a terrible decision, she’s still a minor, and she was in Jen’s care. So, it was therefore Jen’s responsibility to make sure her child was behaving.

To this day, Jen never told her she was sorry, and Anne didn’t, either. Her parents don’t like conflict, so they tell her to just move on.

What would you have done if you were in her shoes?
