Description

Having his angry sister attend his wedding could cause an issue.

DEAR ABBY: My younger sister and I were close growing up. We didn’t have many friends, but we were always willing to play games and have fun with each other. At one point, my sister said she wanted to marry me when we grew up. I didn’t think much of it because we were still kids, and I figured she didn’t know there were different types of love.
As we grew older, we did make our own friends, and today I’m engaged to my longtime girlfriend. My sister and my fiancee got along great during the years we were still just “boyfriend and girlfriend,” but after we announced our engagement, my sister became hostile.
As it turns out, my sister took her intention to marry me seriously, and even as we got older and she understood the difference between familial and romantic love, she carried a torch for me well into her teens.
I would like my little sister to be part of the wedding because of how important she’s been to me, but she stubbornly insists on “winning me back” from my fiancee. Is there a way to explain the reality of this situation, or are our sibling bonds done for good? -- TERRIFIED SIBLING IN CALIFORNIA

Date/Time: February 14th 2026 / 11:58 p.m. Case#: S2026-00239 Classification: Attempt to Elude by Vehicle / Attempt to Elude by Foot / Reckless Driving Location: South of Bandon / US Hwy 101 Suspect(s): JD W. Easley (43) On February 14th, 2026, at about 11:58 p.m., a Coos County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop of a green 2024 Kawasaki motorcycle for speeding well in excess of the posted 55-mph speed limit on U.S. Hwy 101 near Upper Four Mile Lane. The motorcycle fled from the Deputy, and a pursuit was initiated. The motorcycle turned onto Bethel Mountain Road, south of Bandon, and then onto Marple Lane. The motorcycle continued to flee from the pursuing deputy, catching air over potholes on the muddy Lane due to excessive speed. The operator of the motorcycle, later identified as JD W. Easley (43), eventually crashed into a dirt bank and began to flee on foot. The deputy chased Mr. Easley on foot, caught and tackled him, and placed Mr. Easley under arrest. Once in custody, it was learned Mr. Easley had an outstanding warrant for his arrest, which was confirmed. Mr. Easley was also charged with Attempting to Elude by Vehicle, Attempting to Elude by Foot, and Reckless Driving. Mr. Easley was transported to the Coos County Jail, and his motorcycle was towed from the location by Mast Brothers Towing. The Sheriff’s Office would also like to thank the Bandon Police for their assistance in this incident. “Police action is not indicative of guilt. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.”Photos from Coos County Sheriff's Office's post
