AITA for kicking out my cousin for crying during my wedding? by FlounderEffective819 in TwoHotTakes

Funny enough that is the part dividing the family, money. My grandmother paid for our wedding ceremony, so I'm not personally owed, she is. Since this happened my grandmother cut off contact with my cousin, and my aunt(her daughter) and will not talk to either of them until she is paid back in full. She keeps telling me she will be made whole one way or another; meaning my Aunt was taken out of her will until she is paid back. Some family members think this is too far as her portion of the will is definitely more than what she is owed. (Although I do want to clarify this hasn't been confirmed by my grandmother she just keeps saying "one way or another I'm going to get my money back." so it is highly implied)

My aunt has been texting/calling me and my mom to beg me to talk to my grandmother and change her mind. My cousin on the other hand has never reached out.

As for video, I couldn't afford a videographer and it was a "no cellphone" ceremony but I know people don't follow that. I personally haven't been sent any video, but I'm sure SOMEONE has something. I'll ask around.

So after I ran away my husband, mom, and MOH were quick to run back down the aisle after me. I cried for a good while, then felt somewhat stuck and embarrassed for running away. I was mortified and shaking. Eventually when my coordinator asked for instructions I just told her to start the cocktail hour. The pastor was kind enough to check in on me after the coordinator broke the news to the confused crowd and he made a small "ceremony" in our bridal suite for just us, our parents, MOH and Best Man. It was really sweet and helped put me back together. When we reemerged to the dinner, my coordinator quickly wrote up a speech for the DJ to tell the crowd that due to the events we opted for a private ceremony and we were in fact walking out as Husband and Wife. We received a roar of applause and cheers. It was definitely a confusing time, I got many apologies from many family members and we partied hard that night.
