My sister can't come to my wedding....

Awe I'm sorry but that is really exciting for your sister. I don't think you should change your date. Its already so close. Just make sure your event is well photographed and maybe someone can Skype her so she can see the wedding.

Don't feel guilty, just be happy for her! Have your wedding next summer. The second you start changing your plans to accommodate a single person (even if she's your sister), you may find yourself thinking about changing your plans again to accommodate another person.

Set up an iPad near the altar and Skype her in during the ceremony!

I wouldn't change my wedding date. Skype her or maybe someone can fly her home for a few days?

I don't think you should consider changing your date to accomodate one person. She has a legit reason for not being able to attend, and I'm sure if she could be there she would be there in a heartbeat.

You can have a pesonal celebration with her before she leaves, or when she returns; also the Skype idea is a good one too.

I wouldn't change my date either. You both have big life events going on. Be thrilled for each other and move on.

I imagine plane tickets are pricey but if it's in her budget maybe she can fly back for a little bit? Or maybe the skype idea. I wouldn't change the wedding date though. Yours is already fairly close.

You should Facetime or Skype her in!

If you started planning your wedding before she got this opportunity, I don't see the need to even consider pushing your wedding!

My brothers won't be at my wedding thanks to the awesome immigration system we have in this great country. We are recording the wedding and sending it to them . I actually never considered live streaming.

Does your sister know your wedding date? Is she ok missing your wedding date? Also, I would definitely talk to to your FH to see his thoughts.

We had a cousin of my husband who wasn't able to come because of military reasons one of my husbands other cousins had him on skype watching the ceremony as it happened. It was cool that he was able to "be there" without being there.

Thank you everyone, I never thought of skyping her in, that's a fab idea

Aw...that's so hard. Out of curiosity, is she locked into going so far in advance because of some program or initiative she applied to? Airlines don't sell tickets this far in advance, so it can't just be that she'd purchased her travel before you announced your wedding date.

It sucks that she won't be able to join you, but I don't think you should change your date. You really can't accomodate everyone when it comes to picking a date, and she does have a pretty legitimate excuse. As others have said you can skype her in for the ceremony.

Another year out? No, I wouldn't change it. I'd move it a few weeks or so if I wasn't attached to the date and didn't have any set plans yet, but only if my sister begged me and desperately wanted to come to the wedding. If both of us were a bit disappointed but not freaking out, I think we'd be just fine. At least you know well in advance she won't be able to make it. You can make a cardboard cutout of her face for people to hold and include in family pictures if you think that's amusing.

If she'll be there all summer, maybe she can fly back for the weekend. I know that could be kind of expensive. Maybe you two could split the cost if you both don't want her to miss the wedding.

I say like other, if she can fly back perfect! if not skype, facetime...or tape the wedding and share that with her.
