DEAR ABBY: Sister's drinking derails couple's special day

DEAR ABBY: I recently married an old high school flame after 30 years apart. Since we are both in our 50s, we wanted a low-key ceremony — no wedding, no fuss, just us, madly in love and doing our thing. My older sister, the only person we told, begged me to be included — “At least let me sign as witness. At least let me bring a cake. At least let me do flowers.” We took her with us to the courthouse, and she took many pictures, which will be cherished.

DEAR ABBY: Thankless weddings have worn thin for relative

DEAR ABBY: A few years ago, we were invited to my cousin’s eldest daughter’s wedding. Although my cousin and I are close, I barely know the daughter. We were invited only because my cousin wanted me there. The wedding was out of town, which necessitated a motel stay, meals and gas, in addition to a generous cash gift. The cash gift was what the couple had requested, since they had been living together and didn’t need household items.
