He will too! She is so selfish and well just a bi**h and if she causes him to have another heart attack over the pressure of trying to keep her happy, I'll let her know about it and never forgive her.

She's living with the guy and since they can't afford to pay for it, she expects her mom and dad to. Well, since I'm not invited to the wedding, I'll save her dad a few bucks and stay away from the reception too. And a gift....not going to happen.

I know I sound horrible about this, but my brother can not afford it and my niece is so strong willed, selfish, spoiled and ungrateful, that when it's all over with, she won't even thank them. She told them once that she was never going to get a job, she didn't ask to be born, so it was their job to take care of her. ugh!!!!!

That's awful!!! From the sound of it, they should get a couple of close friends together and find a JP. That's what my parent's did. Of course, it was during the 1950's and they had very little money. It was my father's second marriage. They took pictures, and it was actually very nice and tasteful.
