I went out to dinner with my sister tonight and she told me something that made me soo angry!!
One of my cousins got married last january. It was a shot gun wedding that her parents made her have to save face. My cousin wanted to have a simple backyard type reception at her parents house but they insisted she have it at Sunset Harbor since they were paying for it. Well they invited about 130 guests, 50% of them were her parents friends. My cousin was not allowed to have really any say in the planning since it was all really rushed and the budget was tight. Now flash forward to after the wedding. My aunt, whom works for the bank, goes and empties my cousins account of all the gifts she received for the wedding only telling her, 'i took the money, it was just enough to cover all the expenses from the wedding'!!
Now how screwed up is that!! They had no agreement that the gifts were going towards the cost, my cousin had thought the wedding was being paid for. I feel so bad for her. And of course all of my family members gave a little more than normal since she was starting out with this new marriage and baby and she was pretty broke. GRRRRRR

Re: My Crazy Family Vent
if that account was in your cousins name...there is a name for that.....THEFT. She should file a complaint with the bank asap...although the police will have to be involved. There should have been something said about them having to pay her back for the wedding ESPECIALLY bc your cousin wanted something small and your aunt pushed for a bigger event. Somethings not right....

My aunt is the manager of the bank so unfortunately they have access whether theyre on the account or not. My sister used to work there too and was just a cashier and whenever i owed her money i gave her permission to take it out, and there was never a problem.
It really ***** for her, and shes is thinking of moving out thank god. What really ***** is that her parents have money, so why they did this to her is beyond me.
That's ridiculously illegal! She needs to switch banks.
