Just Said Yes September 2022

Am i overthinking?

My sister is my maid of honor and has recently found out she’s pregnant. We got her bridesmaid dress before we found shes pregnant and engaged ( I was told this month about both) this month. She’s 12 weeks now and her dress is snug. She’ll be 22 (September 4th) weeks pregnant by the time of my wedding and doesn’t want to exchange her dress. I tried to offer some sisterly advice to get a flowing dress in a bigger size just in case and she refuses. She said if she can’t fit the dress she won’t be in the wedding.

The reason this bothers me is because I’m her maid of honor for her wedding and have gotten dresses and done all I can for her. She even decided to upsize her wedding dress (her wedding august 20) today but said she could fit her small size later. I’m just upset with her because while I’m thinking about her and considering her feeling and wanted her to be apart of the wedding, she’s not thinking of mine. Am I overreacting?

I understand how you feel. I would probably feel the same way. I have a sister myself. Sometimes sister relationships are really tough when trying to instill fairness and equality between the two.

To get more context on why she might be saying that about being your MOH, what do the other bridesmaids dresses look like? Would an alternate dress for her make her stand out a lot? Maybe that’s why she feels that way. I’m going to assume all the other bridesmaids bought their dresses as well, but if there’s a way y’all could agree on changing the style of all their dresses so she doesn’t stand out, maybe that might encourage her to keep her role?

Has she given an actual reason why should wouldn't want to get a different dress? Maybe she can't afford a new dress. Babies are expensive and she doesn't have or want to spend the extra money on a dress. Or maybe she worries she will stand out too much in a different dress (that's if all the girls are in the same dress).

Have you talked to her to find out her reasoning why she doesn’t want to participate in your wedding? A maternity dress will fit better at a lower price than getting a larger size that needs extra alterations. Never assume anything before you have a conversation. Also nothing wedding-related is reciprocal
