My father uninvited me from my sister's wedding. Then he called in panic when I revealed I owned every wedding vendor. I was at my home studio when my folks phoned. There are not enough seats for everyone at the wedding. Cuts had to be made and you were among them. You understand? Correct. I took a big breath, but I'd already written a speech and my airfare cost $750.

 It is non-refundable. Lucas. My father's voice sliced through like a dagger. This is a formal occasion. People eat with many forks. Your sister's, CEO Pals will be there, and we understand that crowds make you uneasy. Dad, I'm 29. Remember to eat before you contact us back. You feel irritable when you're hungry.

Beep. He hung up. My chest was filled with chili dread. I dropped outta film school seven years ago and they still couldn't pretend I was important. An hour later I received another call. It was their wedding planner, Mr. Lucas, this is Hannah from Wedding Love. I am phoning concerning your sister's wedding.

Next month. Your family contacted us regarding certain modifications. My stomach sank. What type of changes they've removed You totally off the guest list, but they've also asked that we keep your $55,000 payment for the videography package. Your mother stated that the family had already earmarked those monies for other wedding expenditures.

I insisted on paying for the videography package so that I could give my sister something unique. My hands were shaking now, but not out of despair. Hannah, I need to ask you something. What is the name of your wedding venue? The Horizon Estate is located downtown. Why and who owns the property? I heard papers shifting.

It is classified under Vision Media Group. My voice was steady. Now how about the catering company? Silver Four Catering, although I'm not sure why she paused. Wait. It is also Vision Media Group. Keep going. The florist, DJ and limousines. Her respiration quickened, as I said each name. Mr. Lucas, are you telling me that I own every vendor for this wedding?

Every single one. The words felt odd coming out seven years of making people believe I was struggling while discreetly building a million dollar company in advertisements. Seven years later, you obtain a real job and we recall what. Occurred at your prom as if I were still the awkward adolescent who stomped on Sarah's friend's dress, cancel everything I murmur gently.

Every contract and every reservation send my parents an itemized bill that outlines exactly what their actual budget should cover. They can retain my videography deposit because they've already spent it. But sir, the wedding is in four weeks. There are 150 guests. Then they should start making calls.

After I hung up, I sat in my studio surrounded by equipment that they dismissed as an expensive hobby. My phone vibrated with a text from Mom Lucas. We have made our decision nonetheless. The invitation included a clothing code. We understand how difficult those are for you. When you obtain a real job, you'll comprehend these choices.

Do not contact your sister. I typed back understood. Good luck with the merchants. I was retrieving film from a disc when my phone burst with calls. I didn't recognize mom, dad, or my sister's numbers. I allowed them to ring till dad phone. For the sixth time. Lucas, his voice, had lost all of its cockiness.

He was scared and nearly screamed. Every vendor has just candle, the location, the caterer, and everyone. There's been a catastrophic error. Make no mistake, dad, they all work for me. The hush was. So perfect that I could hear him breathing. That is impossible. You produce little videos you are hardly able to afford.

I create advertisements for Nike dad. Every vendor you recruited reports to me. We configure it out. You're still family. Family. I laughed. You were scared an hour ago that I wouldn't be able to handle numerous forks. Lucas, don't be too sensitive. You know, we only want the finest. No, dad, you desire a wedding that you cannot afford.

The phone rang again this time. It was my sister. I nearly didn't respond, but something made me pick up Lucas. Her voice was little and broken. She was weeping so hard, she couldn't talk. What's happening? Mom and dad are yelling. The venue phoned me personally. They stated everything was canceled. My rage subsided a little.

Did you know they didn't invite me. What number? Mom mentioned that you had a major shoot that weekend and couldn't make it. Her sobbing became louder. I closed my eyes and felt the weight of what I'd done. They also retained my $55,000 deposit. They said they'd already spent it. $55,000. Lucas. Oh my God, I did not know.
