Sure! This happened recently and it’s my favorite story of the past few weeks. My wife and I got married in 2021, and when figuring out the guest list and discussing with my family, we all kind of agreed to not invite my aunt to the wedding. My wife had never met my aunt, and had also never heard good things about her (because there aren’t many to tell her). Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, my wife and I are on the way to my cousins wedding, and my (and his) aunt is going to be there! So on the way to the wedding, my wife asks me “Okay so what’s the deal with your aunt again? She’s just mean or something?” I struggled to come up with a good answer, because is not actually mean so to speak. She’s just a genuinely unpleasant person to be around. She’s the kind of person that walks into a room where everyone is talking and laughing and having a good time, and inside of 2-3 minutes she’s managed to kill all joy and happiness, and the room is now awkwardly quiet and nobody is enjoying themselves. I still, to this day, could not explain exactly what it is about her that makes her unpleasant, she just is. So I essentially fumbled my way through a version of that recap with my wife.

We got to the wedding right as the ceremony was starting. Once the ceremony had finished and my wife and I are saying hello to everyone we know, and catching up with everyone when my aunt walks in (she was very late…it was not a short ceremony by any means) and comes over to where we’re all congregating. I say hello and my wife introduces herself and says that it’s nice to meet her. And I swear on my life, the very first thing my aunt says to her is “Hi I’m BrainisfineIthink’s Aunt. We’ve never met because you didn’t invite me to your wedding.”

Two sentences was all it took for my wife to completely understand what we meant about her being unpleasant. I hope you enjoyed my story.
