From the continuously amazing Dear Prudence column on slate.com Wedding of the Century!
Q. In-Laws: I have a grudge against my in-laws and can’t seem to get over it. They ruined my wedding. I had specifically requested my husband make sure he was on time for the ceremony, since there was another wedding right after ours. Sure enough, my husband’s family decided at the last minute...
