    My half sister wanted to show up in a wedding dress to my engagement party, so I changed the party theme so she would fit right in!

    My halfsister "heather" and I never really got along. We both are 24. My father left my mother for her mother and we were born the same month 20 days appart. It has always been weird.
  • 04
    It doesn't help that Heather's mom hates me and my mom. By extention Heather and I didn't have the best relationship. She has always tried to one up me. Even tho we both have a similar economic background. I ca n give examples of this but for the sake of the world limit won't write them here.

    So now my fiancé and I got engaged last month and had our engagement party this Saturday. We had planned it originally as a casual-formal event. Nice dresses but not "I am going to the met gala ball" nice. More like "we are going to a good restaurant" nice.

    Anyway my cousin hits me up saying she has to show me something. It was the picture of the dress Heather was gonna wear.

    This dress.... Jesus christ. It can only be described as opulent. It was long and white. Strapless with sewn in "Chrystals" and golden accents. I'm pretty sure it's a wedding dress but I can't be 100 percent.

    This made me really mad. So I decided.... f ck that. I started texting people telling them that there had been a change of plans. And that instead of casual formal I decided to make a costume party. My mother's side is crazy for Halloween so they were immediately on board. I told my

    father via text, and asked for him to rely the message to Heather her mother. Knowing full well that he would forget or leave it to the last minute. Saturday comes along. Guests start showing up. Most of them in

    costumes. Some didn't have time to get one. We just provided them with fun hats and cheap wigs. Heather my dad and her mother come like one hour late. As soon as she notices that everyone was either wearing elaborate costumes or weird

    memorable costumes were: luffy and Zorro, Ian Malcom and John Hammond and Jesus edit: so why did I invite her? It's one of those weird family situations where not inviting them would have been more dramatic.
  • 14
    You know when you try pleasing everyone. Plus I still wanted a relationship with my father, so not inviting Heather and her mom would have made things super difficult and made it so my father would have had to choose.
  • 15
    When I kept thinking of it, I noticed that my father wouldn't have chosen me on this scenario. Which is why I ended up cutting them off. You let her win. No. The point of this is to ruin my half sister's intention. She wasn't just "dressed nicely" as some of
  • 16
    you put it. She wore a wedding dress to my engagement party. I'd much rather subvert this whole mess rather than have her smugly sitting at the table with her wedding dress. Also some of you are really hung up on the "cheap wigs part" and ignore literally everything else

    regarding the party. A minority of our guests wore those cheap wigs. Also it literally doesn't matter. We had a blast. After she left i didn't even think of her again till a few days later. I don't regret the costume party. I wish I thought of it earlier tbh.

    this is a karma w ring repost!!!!!! No it isn't. I posted this story before on aita. I just had to wait 2 weeks to post on here. Also I can't believe I have go say this. But the lady on the picture is not Heather. It's also not the dress she wore. I looked for a picture that looked approximately like the dress

    D latenerd · 1 yr. ago The cherry on top of this delicious revenge sundae is how you used your father's general sh tiness to work in your favor. Absolutely brilliant.

    Now tell her your dad the wedding is also going to be costumes - a pirate themed wedding. Edit: I should have also said: Then have normal wedding attire for everyone else.
