Wedding was her first time off crutches after breaking hip. Wore sandals sort of like my grandmother always wore. Actual wedding shoes still in box in closet somewhere years later. Had slippers and Chucks ready to go as alternate plans.

Sorry you went through that all, but you sound strong and composed, so good on you.

My MIL is from this same family, I fear.

thank you for the tale. I enjoyed it immensely.

I might disagree with you on if Skip B. set him back with one of his blowhard comments, but I appreciate you speaking out and sharing your story. I wish, coming from my own place, that Bayless had stopped at "problem with alcohol" because that a-word brings a lot of baggage and opinions with it.

Bayless has no credibility and everything he says sounds like he's trying to give a contrarian hot take.
