My Stepsister Skipped My Wedding without Warning and Sent Me a $10 Check with a Nasty Note — My Lesson to Her Was Harsh

I was thrilled on my wedding day, surrounded by loved ones in a beautifully decorated venue.

My joy was tempered by the absence of my stepsister,

Laura, and her family, who had RSVP’d but didn’t show up.

“Have you seen Laura yet?”

I asked my husband Jake, trying to keep my voice steady. He hadn’t.

Despite reassurances, their absence cast a shadow on the celebration.

Days later, I received a card from Laura.

Inside was a $10 check and a note saying,

“See you after our trip to the Caribbeans.

I bet it’s better than your cheap wedding. Enjoy our gift.”

I stared at the note in disbelief, feeling a mix of anger and hurt.

I called my Grandma, who was equally outraged. “She needs to learn a lesson about respect,” Grandma said.

We decided to plan a family gathering at her house, where we could address Laura’s actions.

At the gathering, Grandma handed Laura an envelope containing a $10 check.

Laura’s confusion turned to embarrassment as Grandma said,

“We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed your wedding gift.”

Then, we presented a slideshow of wedding photos, highlighting the empty seats where Laura and her family should have been.

Grandma announced, “Since you missed our wedding, we’ll use the money saved to visit the Caribbeans.”

Laura, shocked and tearful, apologized.

The evening ended on a quiet note, but there was hope for better family relations in the future.
