Photo drama

Hi guys, I just want to vent for a moment...

on Sunday we had my bridal shower, the most beautiful party!!! I had the best time! so my maid of honor is my little sister, she is 17 years old so she is that typical teenage stage right now. My fiancée came at the end of the party, at this time his sister asked for us to take a pic with her so obv we did... that is all literally the only one we took. My sister hysterically started to cry saying at the table while sitting, why are we taking a pic with his sister and not her, so my Aunt told my sister if you would like a pic with them just go over there and ask... in which she replied I should not have to ask, they should ask me! and stormed off... now I had no idea this was going on... and also I did not think to take pics with many combo's his sister asked for a pic with him and I so I just took one..... so when I asked my sister why she was crying she said no reason, so my mom and my aunt both told me what happened. My mom was 1. mad at my Aunt for telling my sister to ask for the pic and 2. was mad that I left my sister out, which was not intentional. She said that I made my sister feel like nothing and that she is not apart of the wedding nothing.... so now girls I swear I did not do this on purpose, but when she started the pity of making her feel like not apart of the wedding I had to let it out. At every appointment, dress, venue, anything that she has been there for she does nothing but stays on her cellphone, when trying my dress my mom told her she would have to help me possibly pee and my sister flipped out and refused.. which is fine whatever... but at my first fitting I asked my sister to take pics of me in the dress so I would have, she took one and put my phone down and went on her phone... my other friend started taking every detail. So, I said to my mom, she feels left out and nothing how about how I feel the whole time when she has no interest, never responds in the bridesmaid group chat and is always miserable.... how am I a monster for taking a photo with soon to be sister in law? so after this mom said she will not get involved but I said how come you can tell me her feelings but can not hear or tell her my feelings.... I feel like its a photo if you wanted one why not just ask, his sister asked for one its not like we took with every single person but my sister or even many people... we literally just took with the ONE person who asked. I don't know ladies, just feeling annoyed now lol

    I'm sorry this happened at your shower, it's ridiculously immature of both your mom and sister to respond this way. Your sister is 17 years old, if she wants a picture she can ask especially since she has her phone 24/7. The bride and groom are the center of attention 100% of the time for wedding related events so they can't possibly think of every single person's feelings all the time. I would ignore it and wait until she gets over her tantrum.

    Thank you so much for understanding, that is the way I felt how can we possibly remember every single person and if she wanted the photo why not just ask why wait around and than make a scene. I️m so glad after reading your response I did not know if I was an awful person

    Your Sister is too young to hold or understand the role of MoH let alone provide the financial support that is required. She should’ve been a Brideamaid.

    It also seems like she is jealous that so much attention is being paid to you currently.

    The whole to do re: a freaking picture screams “I’m scared that I’m being replaced or you like her better/more than me”.

    I feel your sister is freaking out for no reason and is exhibiting some pretty selfish behavior. One thing Mom is definitely wrong about, though, is your sister having to "help you pee." That's just gross. Your husband should be doing that if you can't manage on your own.

    What financial support is required? If you are talking about the bridal shower and/or bachelorette party? Both of those are optional and it's not the sole responsiblity of the MOH to pay for everything.

    Hi, did your family give you a hard time about not having her in? i think even if she wasn't my moh i would have put her as a maid, but she has been so difficult i do not think she really deserves the moh title.

    I agree with you, i think she is jealous that the attention is not on her. I also heard her saying how she does not get treated the same as me... i think over all she wa jealous that it was not about her and tried picking anything apart.... i wish i could have just made her a maid, i am sure that would have been a whole other issue

    Thank you, i would not have asked anyone to help me pee but i think there is just a standing joke that you see on tv that the bride needs help with her dress? i do not really know... but other than that i feel like she is acting rude and my mom does not really address it so it sucks

    I am so sorry to hear the way your sister and mom responded at your bridal shower. It puts a damper on the experience. My own mom considers how others feel before my own feelings sometimes, and it can be incredibly frustrating when she only wants to consider or hear one side. Not to rant as well, but I find what you're saying completely relatable. I was planning on having my 17 year old cousin be my bridesmaid for my own wedding, but lately she has been snippy with me and just not nice so it's making me rethink the entire thing. However, I don't want to start any family drama. I feel like it's tough because you want that close person to be excited with you and care, but I wonder if the maturity just isn't there yet for some teens. When I was telling my mom how my cousin was being snippy, her reaction was just that my cousin must be having a rough time in school and such, but it's annoying because I bet she's not being snippy with her boyfriend or friends. Maybe a MOH position just isn't right for teens, unfortunately :/ I am sure your sister is happy for you, but she's a 17 year old in high school and that's what her life is revolved around. Perhaps you could take her out on a coffee date to talk to her, heart to heart. Maybe she has been on her phone because she felt ignored or felt as if the other friend would handle it so she didn't have to bother. Or it could simply be she's a moody teenager. Gotta love 'em. Best of luck to you!
