\u201cStop bullying your poor sister!\u201d my mother shouted as I stood beside my ruined $7,800 wedding dress.

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Three hours before my wedding, I entered my bridal suite to find my sister standing over my shredded gown, scissors shaking in her hand. My scream brought Mother running. \u201cYou\u2019re the problem! Stop bullying your poor sister!\u201d she yelled, unaware that my future mother-in-law was watching from the doorway.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Emily Parker, twenty-nine, and that Saturday should have been the happiest day of my life.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d spent eighteen months organizing my wedding to James Whitmore, the kindest man I\u2019d ever met.<\/p>\n

My dream gown featured ivory silk, intricate lace, and hundreds of pearls sewn by hand.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d saved $7,800 for it.<\/p>\n

But now its lace was torn, its skirt slashed, and its pearl-covered bodice ripped apart.<\/p>\n

My older sister Vanessa stood nearby.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat have you done?\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n

She glanced at the scissors.<\/p>\n

Then smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cRelax, Emily. I was fixing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFixing it? You\u2019ve destroyed my wedding dress!\u201d<\/p>\n

She crossed her arms.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, it looked ridiculous anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

I touched the damaged fabric.<\/p>\n

Years of dreams seemed to crumble in my hands.<\/p>\n

Then Mother, Patricia, entered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s all this screaming?\u201d<\/p>\n

I gestured toward Vanessa.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe cut my dress!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mom barely examined the damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cVanessa was helping you!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHelping me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve always been jealous of your sister. Stop bullying her!\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared in disbelief.<\/p>\n

Vanessa had always been Mother\u2019s favorite.<\/p>\n

When she failed college, Mom blamed the professors.<\/p>\n

When Vanessa wrecked my first car, Mom insisted I apologize for letting her borrow it.<\/p>\n

And when her fianc\u00e9 left her two years ago, my own happiness somehow became offensive.<\/p>\n

Now she\u2019d ruined my wedding gown.<\/p>\n

And Mother still defended her.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can wear something else,\u201d Vanessa remarked casually.<\/p>\n

She laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnless James finally realizes what a mistake he\u2019s making.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tears stung my eyes.<\/p>\n

Before I could respond, a composed voice came from the doorway.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, she won\u2019t need to wear something else.\u201d<\/p>\n

My future mother-in-law, Catherine Whitmore, entered.<\/p>\n

A long black garment bag hung from her hand.<\/p>\n

She looked remarkably calm.<\/p>\n

Her gaze moved from Vanessa to Mother.<\/p>\n

Then she smiled warmly at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmily, sweetheart,\u201d she said, opening the zipper.<\/p>\n

\u201cShall we begin?\u201d<\/p>\n
