DEAR ABBY: Is it appropriate for a couple to announce their engagement at another couple's wedding?
My sister-in-law and her fiance did that at our wedding -- at the request of my mother-in-law. I'm very upset about it, and my husband says I'm being selfish and petty.
Abby, are they right, or am I? (Please don't use my name.) -- BRISTLED BRIDE
DEAR BRIDE: You are correct. What your sister-in-law did at her mother's behest was akin to the cute little child actor stealing the star's spotlight.
However, please be generous enough to forgive them, so this sore spot doesn't fester and eat away at family relationships. Harmony is more important than highlighting a breach of etiquette.
