She sent me and my wife an invitation on Monday afternoon. My wife noticed something else was sent along with the invitation. She came to me and handed me the envelope and she looked so upset almost crying. I opened it and found that my sister sent a 30-day pre-wedding diet plan. I looked at it. And I don&#39;t know what to say about it honestly. I don&#39;t know who&#39;s idea this is or who made this plan but it&#39;s awful.
