Natalie: I want to apologize that my sisters and I made you feel unwelcome at Meredith’s wedding. We had no intention of doing so. We were all nervous and caught up in the day — worried it would go well; awkward in our stiff clothes. It was the first wedding at our house and the bride was full of nerves and commands and Ellen and I, bridesmaids both, were her lackeys — on call and on edge ourselves. But I know what it’s like to be the odd man out — it happens in a family of three girls often, and in high school I went through the same rigorous shunning that you did. I wish I had had the presence of mind to reach out to you more. Our mothers are close so the thought was that we should be too — and though our relationship has known some strain over the years, I do feel close to you and your sister and think of you both often with fond memories, hope, and affection.
