Sandi2, regarding the wedding, ALL of the family knew that my W and SIL resolved their issues. It all happened 5 days before the wedding. My brother and SIL went to my aunt's house and we met them later to sit down and make peace between my W and SIL, and also for me and my bro to make peace as well. My aunt and uncle acted as mediators. Things got out of control because my SIL got upset and attempted to attack my wife during a heated argument between them on that exact day they reconciled. At the end, my wife went and hugged my SIL while telling her "I dont want u to be mad at me". Then my bro asked my wife if it was k for them to be part of the wedding party, to which my wife promptly replied 'yes'. Then right after that, my wife said that she always wanted her not to be part of the wedding party. Everything was going well.
Now fast forward to the rehearsal night. My wife got very upset because that night my SIL and bro didn't say hi to my wife when they came to the venue. She also got upset because my SIL kept texting during the rehearsal. Later on we found out that she was texting her mom who was recovering from a surgery in the hospital. Therefore, because of this two incidents, my wife asked me to go and tell my brother that his wife is no longer part of the wedding party. Also,my pastor recommended for me to defend my W and tell my brother the same thing. So thats why I told my brother about it. It was a collective decision made by our pastor, my W and I. It is not what I wanted to do, but she was already set on her decision. Hope this answer your questions regarding the wedding. For the beach incident, ill provide the rest of the story very soon.
