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.
