Imagine being told to pack up your three-day-old newborn and 18-month-old toddler, drive three and a half hours through a snowstorm… all to make it to a wedding. Wild, right?

That’s just the beginning of this week’s story: because the drama only snowballs into kids being banned from weddings and a brother-in-law stuck in the middle! I’m also sharing the ultimate mother-in-law move: trying to hijack the bride’s carefully planned seating chart just to cozy up to her ex. You cannot make this stuff up.

And of course, we’ll wrap it all up with quick-hit confessions: think sabotaged bouquets, off-white dresses, and a garter-removal protest that had the whole room cringing.
