Update AITAH for not sharing my reception with my older sister

Original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/s/uxUG8BXO2Z

Update the vow renewal ceremony went long so we where behind showing up to receptions. The shuddle showed up just in time to see security stopping my sister (without her husband) & other uninvited guest getting ID.I ask my party to stay back a minute as I didn't want to over whelm the security. Granted to say it turn into a bit of entertainment. She had a couple hundred dollar dress & was trying overwhelmed the security with just the amount of people . The guard had quite a voice & yell loudly tha anyone who is here for dig sister reception is in the wrong place & will not allowed in unless they where on the guest list. A large group of her party just walked away. My big sister starts demanding to speak to the manager & how dare he scare people off. The manager show up alongside more security. My sister puts on her best crying act ever but the manager just say she & her guest has 5 mintues to leave the property or the police will be involved. She storms off screaming about how it was unfair & how much money she wasted on a dress for this night.

The rest of the night was uneventful & was really chill. The staff & security got a very good tip & any left over alchohol or food they wanted. I hope that was the end of that but this morning I get a money request for $400 USD from my sister saying if I don't pay she will sue me. I have a lawyer so this is of no concern to me because she wouldn't have grounds to stand on. I swear she getting worse with time & need some mental help. I'm am limiting contact with her to email & only in regard to my mom's care.

The retainer for a lawyer + complaint filing and service fees alone would be more than double that $400, maybe triple. Block her and keep enjoying your life. Congratulations!

Small claims court doesn't need a lawyer, just a filing fee. I would love to see the judge laugh her out of court.

Judge - Let me get this straight:

1 - you bought a dress for an event you weren't invited to.

2 - You tried to use your sister's paid for event as your wedding reception.

3 - You and all your guests needed to be escorted of the premises, since you weren't on the guest list

4 - You want your sister to pay for your dress.
