Jay rolled around on the thin mattress of his childhood bed, resisting the urge to groan loudly in frustration.

"Oh, but don't forget the Chiang's. Oh and Kim. Jay, you remember Auntie Kim, right?" his mom questioned him.

Jay sighed. "Yes Ma, I remember her." He said back, clearly annoyed. "You haven't talked to her in ages, why do you need to invite her?" he mumbled to himself.

"What was that sweetie?"

"Nothing!"

Why did moms have selective super hearing? Jay rolled over again. The guest list had doubled since he last came home, which annoyed him because he knew Nya wanted to keep things simple.

Weddings were a big deal to parents in Ninjago, and Jay was finding out rather quickly that his mother was no exception. He picked up his phone to break the news to Nya.

NS: Sup

"Jay do you remember Auntie Rachel?" his mother asked from the other room.

NS: 🥰😍

"Ma? Why are you inviting everyone? We want to keep it low key."

"Nonsense sweetie, it is just another pair of chopsticks."

"It's more than that," Jay mumbled again.

"Jay, listen to your mother."

"Ughhhh!" This time Jay did groan, burying his face into his pillow to muffle the noise. It was going to be a long couple of months before the wedding, and he was starting to realize the main source of stress would not be Nya turning into bridezilla, but his mother irritating him to death, and he wouldn't want it any other way.
