Modern wedding preparation is not an easy job. People often take many months to book the location, photographer, invitation cards, etc. Now imagine you are expected to change the date in just 3 weeks’ time.

They treat their own daughter like that and most likely go to church every Sunday thinking they are the best Christians in the world, while judging everyone else.

That's the nice version of my first reaction to the parents! Mine was much more profane.

This is horrible. First, the brother is a sh!t, then the parents take his side and expect the daughter to change the date? What a rotten family. That poor girl. I hope she gets married anyway and cuts out her family even if it's really hard to cut them out. Aaaw this story made me mad and sad at the same time.

For those wondering "Is this true?"... IN 1991, my sister's funeral was scheduled for a Friday. Our cousin, whose wedding was the next day, *complained loudly at the funeral* that my sister's death "took attention off (her) special day". Yes, these people exist. I still remember her voice, gnawing through our grief, whining about her wedding, while my sister lay there in her coffin. Yeah, they exist. No, I have not spoken to that creature since that day, and no, I don't feel regret. She sure as he** didn't.

Wow. No one would want to cause a scene, but the temptation to loudly say"sorry my sister being dead is an inconvenience for you" would be hard to resist.
