    Write clearly.

    I don't like my fiance's siblings. They have imposed on my (nonexistent)hospitality, BUT they are willing to handle the transportation of their disabled and remotely accomodated parents. The alternate reception they are planning is way out of line, but I'm obsessed with the fact that I can't control every decision this family makes when they enter my orbit.

    Cary: How do I nix the alternate reception plans, keep the undesirables out of my house, and come to terms with the fact that the in-laws transportation arrangements are actually in my favor?

    Yours,

    Peon who aspires to foment Peron-size melodrama
