They Banned Me From The Wedding—Then Saw My Face On The Venue's 'Owner' Plaque
‪@RevengeReturn-s3n‬


The invitation to Melissa's engagement party came with a note attached: "Please dress appropriately. This is an upscale venue." As if I didn't know how to dress for formal events. As if my graduate degree in hospitality management and five years running event venues meant nothing to my own family.
I arrived at the country club wearing a conservative navy dress and pearls, only to be greeted by my mother's disapproving look. "Oh honey, that dress is a bit... simple, isn't it? Melissa specifically asked for elegant."
My sister Melissa floated over in a $3,000 designer gown, her engagement ring catching the light like a disco ball. "Riley! You made it! Though I was worried you might not be able to afford the parking here."
Her fiancé Connor smiled that practiced politician's smile he'd perfected in law school. "Riley, good to see you. Melissa tells me you're still working at that little event space downtown."
"I manage Riverside Events," I corrected. "We handle corporate conferences and private parties."
"That's sweet," Melissa said patronizingly. "Connor and I are planning something much more sophisticated for our wedding. We're looking at estates and luxury resorts."
During dinner, the conversation centered on their wedding plans. The guest list would include 200 people. The budget was approaching six figures. They'd hired a celebrity wedding planner who'd worked with professional athletes and movie stars.
"We're trying to decide between three venues," Connor announced. "Sterling Manor, the Rosewood Estate, or this incredible new place called Grandview Gardens. Have you heard of it?"
My fork paused halfway to my mouth. Grandview Gardens was the 50-acre estate I'd purchased two years ago and spent eighteen months renovating into the most exclusive wedding venue in the state.
"I've heard of it," I said carefully.
