Third Time's Not A Charm

My father is one of 8, and has four sisters. My grandfather, who worked hard all his life and has been retired and living on his pension for 20 years now, paid for the weddings of each of his girls. My aunt flipped her shit when he said he couldn't pay for her third marriage (to a guy she'd known for 6 months) if she wanted an island wedding. He was cool with paying for a small wedding in their hometown, but that he simply couldn't afford to give her the all-inclusive "dream wedding" she wanted. By the way, she's divorced from millionaires and has plenty of cash, but feels her 90-year-old father should pay for a 300-person wedding in the Bahamas so she can afford a beach house.

He offered to fund a honey-moon to the Bahamas and a modest wedding at home. Mind you, she married in hawaii the first time and honeymooned in Paris the second, he paid for both. Everyone else got married in the hometown church. Anyway, she responded to that offer by calling him a stingy old asshole and saying that she was glad my grandmother died young, so she didn't have to see her husband become a "greedy bastard".

So finally, with the support of the rest of the family, my grandfather told her to fuck off and pay for her own wedding.

This all went down about 5 years ago, and the aunt hasn't contacted anyone but my other aunt since. Apparently she divorced the third husband and "retired", at the age of 45, to a condo in florida. She's living off the settlements from the divorces.
