On Sally Quinn, Disinvited
What a load of crap! The bottom line, if you can believe Sally Quinn, is that Ben Bradlee Sr. voluntarily decided not to attend his own granddaughter's wedding, even before there was a date conflict. Even in the most disharmonious of families, that kind of absence just doesn't occur. He could have easily attended, steering clear of his ex or Raddatz or whoever he wanted to avoid, and still given his best wishes to his granddaughter in person.

On Sally Quinn, Disinvited
When Sally talks about "Greta's aunt" giving the okay for Quinn's new wedding date, she is presumably talking about Ben Jr.'s sister. The aunt mentioned no conflict, which can only mean that she had not been invited to her niece's wedding. Another implausibility! In one fell swoop, Sally Quinn has managed to raise questions among thousands of readers about the dynamics of her extended family and stepfamily, pivoting off an issue that no one outside the clan had cared about until this morning.
