Finance's sister

Hey brides out there. I'm already having issues with not making my fiance's sister a bridesmaid. We have nothing in common, aren't close and she has the maturity level of a 12 year old...hence the emotion stuff I'm hearing from my future mother in-law. Need advice, having trouble handling this

    I wish that was true but apparently she was emotional last night thinking that she probably wasn't one. Her words were that she was proud of my fiance. They are two years apart she makes it sound like she's 40 and it's her baby brother

    Do not let it get to you, it is your day and at the end of it you need to do what makes you happy!

    I only asked one FSIL to be in our wedding party (FH has 2 sisters and a brother, only one sister was asked). The other is exactly as you described yours, maturity level of a 12 year old (along with a slew of other serious issues). I don’t feel bad. At. All. FMIL definitely not happy that not all of her children were included, but it’s not her day so I don’t care what she says.

    To be honest, of course there will be drama if someone wants to be in the wedding but you don’t want them to be. Stand your ground and don’t let FSIL or FMIL tell you what you should do. Just let them know that your bridesmaids will be friends and family who you are close with. It’ll be uncomfortable for everyone if you include her but don’t want her to be there. I wouldn’t want to be someone’s bridesmaid if I knew they felt forced to ask me!

    You don't have to have your future sister in law in your bridal party if you don't want to. I'm def not.

    I told her I was sorry but I am only going to have one wedding in my life. Also that I'm not having my brothers wife as a bridesmaid. I just want my 2 best friends.

    Yes I agree I wish there was a love button!! I haven't dealt with this situation although we have made comments, I've been putting it on the back burning because I get upset every time I think about it. But you guys have made great points. I am so happy Aubrie made this discussion! This situations seems a lot more common then I thought. But we need to keep in mind it's our day! You know it's bad when your other FSIL tells you to not have her sister in your wedding!! Good luck everyone and know we are all here to always chat!!!

    I have my SIL as my bridesmaid, and my MOH is my sister. But only because I WANTED them to be. I wasn't my sister's MOH, and I was okay with that. Of course I made her cake and didn't need anymore responsibility than that. Lol

    If you feel like it, you could give her some position or something not in the bridal party, or have her be escorted like your MIL? Otherwise don't worry about it..eventually they'll get over it.
