So FH has 5 sisters. 4 live with his dad and his step mom. 1 is married, lives on her own and has two kids. The one that lives on her own has issues with FH's step mom and they've been fighting a lot latley. FH just got a phone call from his step mom and she informed him "that in light of recent events her, her daughters, and her entire side of the family will not be attending the wedding". Also that they are no longer paying for the cake and they are pulling the contract that they signed and paid for for the venue. FH and I can just pay for the cake and venue but I cant belive this and it hurts that because of issues with FH's sister he will be missing out on celebrating with half his family. 4 months to go and I just feel defeated!

First, I am so sorry that you're going through this so close to your wedding.

Secondly, it sounds like there is more to the story on why she decided to pull her financial backing as well as uninviting herself and everyone on her side of the family. What does her issues with your FH's sister have anything to do with your wedding?

There is nothing you can really do about it at this point so there isn't much sense in letting it get the best of you. If they don't want to act like adults than that shines a bad light on them not you. It definitely sucks but letting it put a damper on your big day is letting their pettiness win. Just keep the invitations open to both of them.

Where is his dad in all this? Seems to me he needs to talk to his dad and see what exactly is going on. Seems pretty drastic for his step mother to make that call on pulling the funding to close to the wedding for an event that had, as you say, nothing to do with your FH.

His step mom has always been this way and it all stems from having very bad feelings towards FH's mom. His step mom is constantly not attending baby showers, birthday parties, etc. Because of the bad blood between all of them.

FH just got off the phone with his dad and all his dad said is that he still plans on attending. FH asked what the hell happened and why his step mom was being like this and his dad said they would talk at work on Monday. (They work together)

I'm so sorry. It seems a bit messed up that she is punishing the two of you for drama with his sister.

That sucks 😕 hopefully your FH and his dad will sort things out on Monday. I can’t imagine why his step-mom’s issues with his sister should have any impact on your wedding!
