Maybe. Maybe not.

How is the protagonist claiming to have ESP in the third act pushing the story forward? What does the protagonist brother-in-law do to make enough money to own a castle and golf course? How on Earth does the astronomy-informed brother-in-law not know about Melancholia’s “death dance”? How did the bride break the news to the groom, resulting in their breakup?

These are a few issues I’m having. If you can answer these that’d be great

It was family land passed down for generations. It is a clearly a manor. The staff were sent home after the wedding for the end of the world.

Everyone knows about the "death dance" and he is just a disbeliever that is trying to keep his chronically anxious and depressed wife and sister-in-law from being even worse due by ignoring it/being skeptical. He is obviously a liar, though, and believes it is coming.
