0:00.0	My sister wore a wedding dress to my engagement party, so I found a way to embarrass her.
0:07.0	My half-sister, Heather and I never really got along.
0:12.0	We're both 24. My father left my mother for her mother, and we were born the same month, 20 days apart.
0:18.0	It's always been weird.
0:21.0	It doesn't help that Heather's mum hates me and my mum.
0:24.0	By extension, Heather and I didn't have the best relationship.
0:28.0	She's always tried to one-up me, even though we both have a similar economic background.
0:32.8	So now my fiancé and I got engaged last month and had our engagement party this Saturday. We'd planned it

1:04.2	mum would have made things super difficult and made it so my father would have had to choose.
1:09.8	Anyway, my cousin hits me up, saying she has to show me
1:12.7	something. It was a picture of the dress Heather was going to wear. This dress, my God, it can only
1:20.2	be described as opulent. It was long and white, strapless with sewn in crystals and golden accents. I'm pretty sure it's a wedding
1:29.7	dress, but I can't be 100% sure. This, of course, made me really mad. So I decided, screw that.
1:37.4	I started texting people, telling them that there had been a change of plans, and that instead
1:42.2	of the casual format, I decided to make everything a costume
1:45.3	party. My mother's side is crazy for Halloween, so they were immediately on board. I told my father
