Pregnant sister in law + wedding date

My sister finally got to set her date for her wedding, and she and her fiancée told his sister. She is pregnant and her due date falls 4 weeks after the date. She is pretty self-centered and told my sister to change her date to a few weeks earlier. My sister is very upset; it took her awhile to find...

My sister is very upset; it took her awhile to find a date, and now she has to ask our younger sister not to go on her mission trip.

What do you think she should do? Would it be reasonable to keep the date that works for everyone but the sister-in-law?

    No dates moved. If you wait to have your wedding for when it's perfect for everyone, it would never happen!

    My husbands best friend was unable to be in our wedding due to his wife giving birth almost a week after. It was sad he couldn't attend, but he didn't expect us to change anything. Some venues book well over a year in advance (we were lucky we even got a Sunday in the same year), so I say keep the date.

    I would keep the day that works. I was pregnant not that long ago and that shouldn't affect the wedding at all unless it was on her due date and its not. I'm not sure why she even asked her to change it?

    She should keep the date. Changing for one person would be a regret later on.

    She shouldn't move the date. The world does not suddenly revolve around you once you get pregnant.

    I think your sister should ask her FH husband how important to *him* it is that his sister be there. This isn't for us to decide, it's for them, and she should listen to her FH about what he wants.

    Do not move the date! My SIL is due a month before my wedding, and I didn't even consider moving my date (not to mention everything's been booked and paid for)
