Planning a wedding can be a stressful experience, especially when it comes to deciding on the guest list. For one bride-to-be (26f), her wedding planning took an unexpected turn when her future mother-in-law (MIL) made a peculiar request. The MIL asked that they “invite” her fiancé’s (27m) late siblings, who tragically passed away as a result of miscarriages and stillbirths, by placing framed photos of them at the ceremony and reserving seats at the reception. The couple is now faced with a difficult decision: honor the request or risk upsetting their future MIL.
