I (32m) am marrying the love of my life Yael (31f) next spring.
We live on the west coast. However, we’re having the wedding in Florida because that is where Yael’s grandparents and great-grandmother live. It’s important for us if they were there because they mostly raised her.
I have a larger family and I’m not not close most of them because they’re the worst.
One of my cousins (22nb) is pissed about this for obvious reasons. I get that the situation there is shitty. As I didn’t invite them, they don’t have to go if they don’t want to.
The cousin decides to try and put me on blast for the wedding location. I end up posting a rebuttal: I didn’t invite my cousin because of something they did four years ago.
Which was making a prank video where they trick my Jewish girlfriend (Yael) into eating pork. I still have the video saved as evidence of why my side of the family sucks.
I don’t want someone who pulled a stunt like that anywhere near my very Jewish in-laws. One of whom is a Holocaust survivor.
So I posted that and now everyone my cousin knew is turning against them. My cousin called me freaking out because their boss saw it and now they got “let go.” I replied that it sucks to suck and hung up.
I think I’m doing it right by protecting the people I call my family. But some of our friends I went overkill on the video since it cost someone their livelihood.
