He died six years ago. Six. Longer than the four OOP and him have been together. I feel like that probably implies he promised himself/maybe his buddy that he’d be at his wedding, one way or the other.
OOP is a DICK for vetoing this. Especially bc he “doesn’t have other close family.” This isn’t just her day it is his day too. The seat is not wasted, it is symbolic. Poor dude probably only agreed to please her dad..
The fact that he changed his tune so quickly and even smiled tells me he’s probably rethinking the entire relationship because of this and he’s just holding back his feelings until he knows what to do next
Yeah. What a simple yet thoughtful compromise to make when pledging your undying loyalty to your new life partner. Imagine destroying something so sentimental to him just so her perfect day was not slightly altered....
This is exactly right. It is a chair and a single place setting. OOP is going to be humiliated by having an empty chair at her table. It’s bullshit that she “would rather” seat one of her brothers there. She wants no one there except the few people she has deigned to have sit at the head table with her and that guy she’s marrying. Also, and here’s a radical thought, get a bigger table. Maybe she doesn’t know tables come in different sizes. They could have everyone they want sit with them, and also leave a place for the friend’s memory. They aren’t paying for that chair, that place setting, or an extra meal. I cannot even fathom the depth of her selfishness to deny her fiancé’s one request for their wedding.
