MY STEPMOM DEMANDED I PAY FOR MY DRESS AND HAIR FOR THE WEDDING \u2013 BUT MY DAD ACCIDENTALLY OVERHEARD EVERYTHING.<\/p>\n
After Dad got engaged to Rachel, she suddenly became as sweet as sugar.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll be my right hand at the wedding,\u201d she said. \u201cI trust you more than anyone!\u201d<\/p>\n
For the first time in two years of living with them during college, she acted like family. She made me maid of honor and had me help plan everything \u2014 dress, cake, flowers. I thought we\u2019d finally turned a corner.<\/p>\n
But she handed me a pale pink envelope in the bridal suite minutes after the ceremony.<\/p>\n
She smiled. \u201cJust something I need you to handle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Inside was an itemized bill:<\/p>\n
-Maid of honor dress: $380<\/p>\n
-Alterations: $95<\/p>\n
-Shoes: $150<\/p>\n
-Hair trial: $110<\/p>\n
-Day-of styling: $180<\/p>\n
-Makeup: $150<\/p>\n
-Time & energy invested in you: $1000<\/p>\n
-Emotional support: $250<\/p>\n
TOTAL: $2,315<\/p>\n
\u201cYou lived under my roof,\u201d she said. \u201cYou thought it was for free?! I\u2019m not your sponsor. This is just fair.\u201d<\/p>\n
