Looks like my siblings aren't coming to my wedding!

I completely understand. I bought my little sisters plane tickets,... TICKETS.... and she told me literally less than a week before our wedding that she never asked off. So I had to scramble to try to get my money back from the airlines. Even with insurance I haven’t been able to get the money back yet to one of them, the other one was a no cancellation and no refund even with insurance so I had to get my sister a plane ticket for the end of the year to come visit me.....

All you can do is shake your dang head. Family.... Anyway, cheers to kicking back and having a great time anyway, plan a trip to look forward to with FH soon, and know we are all out here celebrating you and your big day. 👰

I am so sorry you have to experience this pain, it is not an easy thing to deal with. All you can do is make the most of the situation. If they do not want to come, then it is better that way. This is YOUR day, to marry the love of your life. If they do not support that or you, then you do not need that negative energy. I had to decide whether to invite my lifetime friends from childhood, who told me they did not approve of my relationship. I love them regardless, but I had to make the hard decision not to invite them because I did not want that negative energy around a moment where I commit my life to another person. As much as it sucks to be in the situation, just be positive and know that you get to marry your person and he will be there by your side! Those who want to be there will be, and they will celebrate you with love. Those who are not there, do not deserve it anyway. This moment is for you and your future husband, not them. Whatever happens happens! Good luck to you and your future!

One thing I want to say about this is I love how your FH has your back 🥰that’s what matters because he’s going to be your chosen family soon. People just get petty during weddings and jealousy comes out. Don’t let who attends affect how you’re feeling at the end of the day it’s not about who is there anyways!

If it makes you feel better my family meet my fh over 5 years ago when we dated the first time and we started dating again a year ag Ian’s decided to marry and none of my family will be in attendance at our wedding.

Hi. My family is just my brother and me (about siblings), and he's 5 years older than me. On 2018 him and his wife had their first baby girl (who doesn't even know who her auntie is) and moved to Conneticut barely with the girl a couple of months old. I've never seen my brother or sister in law or niece ever since. My wedding was on October 2019 and they filled themselves with much much "kind words" about the wedding and coming and a good time with family, but never actually made an attempt to come. Bottom line, it was because of "her job" but she'd given about 2 trips already with my niece alone to see HER family. I felt frustrated because it was my wedding day and the only person I honestly wanted present was my brother of course with my sister in law and niece but not even my brother alone came. I would've prepared better if like you, they would've just said it from the start and I could take the bandaid right off. I still hold that grudge honestly... and although we speak, they know I haven't let that go... All I can say is I feel and hurt for you since although it isn't supposed to get to us, it does and it sucks. I send you the bestest vibes and wishes and I hope everything falls into place ♡

None of my family will be there not even one of my kids. I wanted to elope but he said ita very important for our families to be there and now our weddings 28 days away and not only with my family not be there but only 3 rsvp cards came back ! The deadline was 3 days ago !
However the reason my family cant come is understandable ! My mom moved to texas because her boss offered to pay for her cancer treatment if she did. She has custody of all my nieces and nephews and my 4 year old nephew for attacked by two dogs and is icu and has been awhile now and not getting out anytime soon. So she cant come which means her kids who were my bridal party cant either. Then my daughter and oldest niece who I consider a daughter had to fly up there to take care of the other kids because my mother cant leave the hospital so they wont be there either. I'm trying to be excited but honestly who can be excited with all this happening ??? So, I certainly know how you feel. I'll probably cry looking out and seeing noone is there to support me and just seeing strangers.

I'm very sorry to hear that. That's just awful. I will never understand why men get married and forget they have a family. I have been there for my brother whenever he has asked me, he rarely asks for my help. Like his gf has makes sure they don't need us. But when its her family, oh they see the kids all the time. Last summer i was staying at his house to watch his 2 kids while his gf was having my other nephew. I was the last resort. My fh was so mad cause he has seen everything i have done and she has the nerve to say that. All she could have said was thank you and when i saw the decline, i would've known she wasn't going to go. But that was the first time he really meet her and he has this vision of her. He sees her as evil. But i know if it was up to her, we wouldn't even see the kids,

But thank you so much for reading and showing me some love. I really appreciate it.

That's exactly what i was telling him yesterday. When i saw how mad he was on the way home after that meeting, i knew i was so blessed to have found him. He had never fully meet her. I had warned him about her and told him to be careful what he says around her. Shes capable of making up stuff. Its scary. He honestly told me he wants nothing to do with her or my brother. Hes mad my brother didnt even defended me. He just stayed quiet. But last night we had food tasting at the venue and i was looking around. Just thought that i can't wait to marry him, If they don't come, that's on them. But thank you for your kind words. That really helped me

True. I have my moments. The thing with my brother happened a week a week ago. Theres days i am okay, then i get mad, then i get sad. I just wanted one day and it looks like i can't get that. But like you said, thats all on them. I already did my part. I think it's going to take sometime to understand this. But i really appreciate your kinds words and encouragement.

Sounds like my sister. But i didnt have to buy her anything. I did ask her the night why she hasn't rsvp and she literally told me if she really needs to put it. I told her yes. She said she is going to wait until the day to do it to see if she gets the day off. I'm just so annoyed with all this. But family huh lol

I'm really sorry to hear that. In a way it's comforting to have this forum. We all comfort each other. I want to cry all the time. But i think about the people that will make the effort to go. That's whats comforting me. But i do hope your family shows up or at least tries. I am here whenever you need to vent.

My FH's sister told us she did not want to come to our wedding so he decided to not even try and invite her. She has made my life miserable for the past 1.5 years, constantly disrespecting me and just being outright mean to me. She's made me cry more times than I would like to admit and I kinda wish we had just eloped to avoid any more family drama.

Our sisters are probably the same person! I can't believe yours is waiting until the day of to see if she gets off...seriously, just ask ahead of schedule. I don't understand younger siblings.

I tried to call her a few days ago and she didn't even pick up the phone. But, she messages in the family group chat articles about coronavirus...

Honestly, after the whole wedding was over I'm glad she didn't go. She would have been a huge negative nancy, constantly complaining about this or that. And if she didn't complain she'd be making some face. I think you should expect to not see her at your wedding, and it might be for the best anyway!
