She\u2019d hijacked my venue to marry her boyfriend Derek, claiming it was \u201cgenius\u201d to share the setup. I was stunned, but not surprised\u2014Erin had a history of bending boundaries. This was her boldest stunt yet.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"436\" data-end=\"740\">Refusing to play along, I told the planner to bill Erin for her share\u2014harpist, officiant, catering. When she refused to pay, Derek walked out, and even our parents sided with me. Erin collapsed in embarrassment while I moved on with my flawless, peaceful wedding, finally claiming a moment that was mine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"1050\">That night, Erin came to our suite in tears, hoping for a reset. She admitted she ruins everything and didn\u2019t know who she was without the chaos. I listened but stayed firm. For once, I wouldn\u2019t be her emotional cleanup crew. \u201cYou don\u2019t get to start over just because the consequences showed up,\u201d I told her.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1266\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">As I closed the door behind her, I knew I\u2019d made the right choice.
