The small family “celebration” of the “wedding” is soon to come
Listen to this, BM, SS, DH and all the grandparents, along with SD's new boyfriend's small family will gather for an exciting "wedding" celebration next month. Note the quotations of wedding... it's not a wedding in the common definition, but it's their thing, and that's ok. The real fun is going to be literally stuck in the space with all these delightful people for a good 6 hours.... I can't really escape to my phone or another space, so..... what do I do?!

Go. Be radiant. You and SO be confident on each other's arm.
Be the unassailable couple that is put together, confident, happy, and be radiantly in everyone's faces. The radiant part is important. When you and SO are happy and radiant, the cockroaches scurry for the dark corners. Invariably with these types, there is a heavy cockroach component. When a bright light is turned on in a dark roach filled room, the roaches scurry for the dark.
Script some short snippets to have ready if anyone steps out of line with either of you. Rarely does the exact situation scripted occur. But having a few ready helps make quick adjustments to help light the tail feathers of the noxious on fire to move them on behind the roaches.
Go to have fun. Feast, have some cool cocktails, and be happy together.
My SD's wedding was a small
My SD's wedding was a small ceremony too, with BM and her parents. To them, I was pure evil (I did not cause their divorce but because I knew DH prior to the divorce, that got spun a hundred ways).
I bought a great new dress and shoes and prepared small talk topics. I knew I'd be nervous, especially when DH had wedding things to do.
I tried to talk mostly with the friendly people--DH's sister, a nephew, and DH didn't leave me alone for very long and we left as soon as it was reasonable.
Have a plan. Know your friends. Be beautiful. Get out of there.
Bravo! ^^^^Exactly this.
oh boy!
Tumbles is tumbling "down the aisle"? LOL. Keep your humor about you and you can let the "new husband" know that he should be happy shes such a "daddys girl"...and just leave that hanging.
