Mom Toasted “I Finally Have a Daughter to Be Proud Of” at My Sister’s Wedding — Then Her Phone Rang

To my beautiful daughter — the first in our family to truly make something of herself."

My mother's champagne glass caught the chandelier light as 200 guests applauded. I sat at Table 14, the one near the kitchen doors, watching my sister Vanessa beam in her $40,000 Vera Wang gown. If you've ever been the invisible child at your own family's celebration, stay with me.

My name is Margot Sinclair. I'm 34 years old. And according to my family, I was the disappointment who "wasted her potential on computers."

The wedding was at The Pemberton Estate in Connecticut — 200 acres of manicured gardens, a ballroom with 18th-century crystal chandeliers, and a guest list that read like a Who's Who of New England old money. Vanessa had married Gregory Ashworth III, heir to a commercial real estate fortune. My mother, Diane, had spent 14 months planning this day. Every detail was curated for maximum impression.
