Yippe - nothing much to report
Wedding was drama free! Thanks for all the good karma wishes everyone - they worked.
I manged to get through it without having to talk to anyone except MIL, BIL and his two adult daughters. But I did say a quick congrats to the bride and groom. Once we'd had the meal (was actually really good for wedding food so an unexpected bonus), I snuck out and got a cab home. The two neices are way too "cool" for the wedding so left shortly after me to go somewhere glamourous. DH stayed and partied with his brother and the youngsters. I feel sorry for MIL who got stuck at the wedding until nearly midnight because BIL was ignoring all her hints to leave (according to DH this morning when he gave me an update on what I'd missed).
There weren't any formal family photos. I don't think I'll even feature in the "everyone together" photo but thats fine with me. Even though I'd done my hair and makeup I was feeling too much pain to want to be photographed, if that make sense.
BM was there but since I've only seen her 3 times before and I'm not good at retaining faces that I don't think are important to me, I didn't recognise her.
All the bio-parents were asked to say a few (very short) words. BM got up and talked about how sorry she was that YSS was no longer with us and how sad that made her feel. IMO, this was a b*tch move as she hadn't spent any time with him, except when she tried to get him committed to a mental hospital after a suicide attempt, since she kicked him out when he was 16 and he came to live with me and DH. She was trolling for "grieving mother" attention to add to her "mother of the groom" status.
One slight titbit from DH this morning, apparently BM insisted on dancing with BIL. He wasn't that pleased and who knows why she wanted to dance with him. If it was to make DH jealous, LOLZ.
I wish everyone here the same level of drama free SK weddings.

Glade for you
That you got through the wedding. With out any drama. It's so hard to be a second married SO. No matter what you do the ex always shows up, so happy for you that all went well
Thanks
No drama is a blessing
Great
Done and over!
True
Thanks for all your thoughts. The good karma worked
Yeah!!!
So happy to hear it was a decent night!!! And good food! That always helps!! Lol
I know
I can't believe how nice the food was. Quite often at big events you end up with barely warm rubber chicken. This was actually decent.
I'm happy for you that it was not as tragic as forecast.
For some reason, weddings seem to bring drama to the surface in those of shit character. My BIL1's wife being one of them. After their wedding there was a brief reception. It was not the actual reception, it was a complete facade to include those who were not to be included in the actual reception. After those not worthy of inclusion in the real reception, everyone "recruited" to clean up went to the event center under the church for the real reception. It was all I could do not puke on the bovine bride and my ball-les BIL1 after. I pretty much stayed outside "working" through the whole real reception it pissed me off so badly.
Our wedding was small and low drama. Our vow renewal, 20 years later, was even just about drama free. Except for some of DW's Great Uncles and Aunts who could not find the winery where it was held.
My brother's wedding was mostly okay except for my SIL's family. Blended, of course.
My niece's wedding was amazing and had zero drama, except for they almost missed the bride and goom pics with their two golden retrievers. My niece would have been fit to be tied if they had not gotten the pics with the boys (Bo and Charley). But overall, no dama.
Why is it that weddings seem to usually be a litmus test of family quality? The same with funerals.
smh
I had a tiny wedding too
Actually, in the end SS and his finance's event was pretty much a copy of ours with a few more bells and whistles.
