Hello WW! Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Need help with this: FI has 3 sisters & we get along fine, with the exception of one sister who I'll call Amy. One of the first things she said to me was that I was "chunky." Didn't think much of it since I could stand to lose a few pounds. But the entire time FI and I were dating, she kept trying to hook him up with one of her friends who really liked him. Amy even brought this girl as an uninvited guest to a surprise birthday dinner I planned for FI, & the girl ended up sitting directly across from FI & I the entire night, watching us & listening to our conversations. AWKWARD. After we got engaged, Amy was the only person in FI's family who wasn't happy for us. FI asked me to put his sisters in my bridal party. Definitely don't wanna include Amy but think it's wrong to include the others & not her. I'm not close with any of his sisters so I could exclude them all, but I want to honor FI's wishes to involve his sisters. What should I do?

    Just because she is his sister doesn't mean you have to. My FSIL will be walking with his dad. That would be the most I could do for her. I have no bad feeling towards her, but I feel bridesmaids are usually ladies you are close to and will be there for you when you just want to cry or to keep you on your toes.... Maybe find her another role?

    Could they walk grandparents down the aisle in the processional? They get to be honored, they get to have all eyes on them for a moment, they all get front row seats, they're all in photos - but they don't stand up with you and drive you nuts at all the pre-wedding activities.
