My Stepsister Skipped My Wedding without Warning and Sent Me a $10 Check with a Nasty Note — My Lesson to Her Was Harsh

When my stepsister Laura skipped my wedding and sent a $10 check with a cruel note, I was devastated. With Grandma’s help, we planned a family gathering to teach her a lesson.

At the event, Grandma handed Laura a $10 check in return. Then, a slideshow played, highlighting the empty seats at my wedding. I announced that, since she missed it, we’d use the saved money for a Caribbean trip—just like hers.

Laura turned pale, realizing her mistake. Embarrassed, she finally apologized. While things may never be the same, she learned an unforgettable lesson in respect.
