A recent wedding was disrupted by a late-arriving cousin wearing an attention-grabbing dress. The bride felt her big moment was overshadowed and was further hurt by the cousin’s lack of apology or acknowledgment of her disruptive behavior. Family advice suggested not to dwell on the incident, but the bride remained upset. In response, it was suggested that the bride focus on her marriage and express her feelings to the cousin kindly if the opportunity arose, emphasizing understanding and communication for future events.
Your cousin showed up late to the ceremony... wearing a flashy, attention-grabbing dress, heels clicking loudly on the floor... The moment that was supposed to be focused on my husband and me was completely disrupted.
My guess is that your cousin is single and jealous of you and your marriage. You can't do anything to change that.
Recognize the gift of love and connection you have with your spouse, and allow that to fill any of the tender spaces, including her disrespect.
If you feel the urge to say something to her privately, do so with love. Let her know she hurt your feelings by disrupting your wedding.
