I was thinking this also because I have a twin brother and he wanted me to be in his bridal party and even stand in for his best man (who was serving in Iraq at the time) and his wife (my SIL) told him under no circumstances would she allow me in the wedding party because she was afraid I would start crying and mess up the pictures. (even though she was crying so hard the priest told her to cut it out...she's an actress)Originally Posted by Catfriend
I also think you made the right decision. Perhaps the "new bride" is threatened by your long friendship with Ed. Like a selfish child with a new toy, she doesn't want to share.
THEN at the reception she placed me in the the table farest from the head table with a bunch of friends and then she came over to me in the middle of the dinner and SCREAMED her head off at me...to the shocked expressions of everyone at the table. OT this day my friends are still like wow...we still can't believe that ___ screamed at you like that on her wedding. WHen you weren't even doing anything! SHE also yelled at me for bringin a good friend as a date instead of some random guy from the gym.
THE REASON why she was soooo awful (and she still is sometimes) is this....I AM her husband's twin sister and she thinks I am prettier then her. She has told me that i am a huge threat to her control over my brother and she told me once "you are the most dangerious person to me in this family." JSUT BECAUSE I AM HIS TWIN SISTER!!
SOO you never know that is going on in the bride;s head. Sounds like to me your friend found himself a jealious and controlling woman and I am going to share with you the same advice my aunt gave to me...."be nice and supportive because the day might come when you will be needed the most."
