NTA: Sister’s selfishness and parents’ favoritism threaten dream wedding.

NTA. Sister needs to get over herself. Enjoy your wedding!

NTA NTA NTA. Sister’s drama threatens your special day.

“NTA; she needs to learn how to deal with other people getting what she wants. What if she has a miscarriage and you also happen to be pregnant? Are you going to have to have an abortion so that she’s not made sad at the sight of her healthy niece or nephew? An extreme parallel, maybe, but the same principle applies. This is your wedding, which has been planned for months. You only get one shot at this; it’s horrifically selfish and unreasonable of her to ask for you to strip your already simple wedding down to almost literal brass tacks. Is this wedding for her or for you and your husband?

Obviously, you should be sensitive to her—don’t discuss plans in front of her, don’t complain about wedding planning, don’t be overly lovey-dovey with your fiancé when she’s around, etc. But your wedding shouldn’t be treated like a shameful thing to be swept under the rug because of what happened to your sister. It’s a celebration of you and your husband, and loving your sister and loving your husband should not be mutually exclusive.

That said, I think we can all agree that what your sister is going through is a legitimately difficult and heartbreaking situation. It’s going to take time for her to heal. But, speaking as someone who has also wanted to skip a wedding because of my own personal pain, skipping your wedding will not help her to heal from her heartbreak. In the end, it may make her feel guilty because she wasn’t there for you when you got married (and forced your parents to choose between being there for you on the most important day of your life and being there for her on another Saturday nearly a year after she got jilted). When faced with situations like this, I try my best to think not about how I feel about the situation at the moment, but about how I might feel about it five years from now. In five years, will she be glad that she forced you to ruin your own wedding, thus damaging her relationship with you and her brother-in-law (and possibly also your relationship with your in-laws)? Will she be satisfied that she isn’t in any of the family photos from the wedding?

Or will she feel a sense of peace because she put her own feelings aside for ONE DAY to support her sister, who fully realizes what a HUGE sacrifice it was for her to plaster on a smile for the family photos?

It’s probably unlikely that she’ll ever see this comment, but if I could talk to her, I’d encourage her to think about the situation that way.

Have your wedding. Be sensitive, but have your wedding and don’t feel guilty about enjoying every minute of it, no matter how your sister responds. That’s 100% on her.” – Don’t let your sister’s pain overshadow your special day!
