So...my older sister got married a week ago. I loved her venue!! My fiancé and I havr been engaged for 6 years, 2 children as well. Our oldest son passed away 8 years ago. We never really got ourselves financially back on our feet. I am newly nurse and we arr getting there. At her wedding tbey had pictures of people who are deceased. Our sons picture was there. The wedding coordinator asked my mom who it was. She explained and yold how we wanted to get married but could not afford the wedding. She told us she would give us a discount if we booked with her. So we booked it today at the same venue. My sister is pissed!! I am blown away. I didn't know that was wrong. Is it? She was in thr summer ours will be next November. And it is a hefty discount. I am soo confused. I was soo excited and now i feel terrible. I thought of it as a compliment. I have been with my fiancé for 12 years...not like we got engaged yesterday. We have been planning a long time.

    Just show her this photo with "Let it go" playing in the background. Hold eye contact.

    I don't see a problem. Actually, I know someone who got married at the same venue as her only sister. The family had a wonderful experience so why would you not go back to a place that you loved?? Both weddings were beautiful but were not the same just because they were in the same place.

    It's just a venue..it's not like it's hers, it is open for couples who are going to get married, you included. She needs to get off her high horse and relax. Just make sure you make this day yours.

    I am getting married at the same venue as my sister and she has no problem with it. Granted she is coming up on her 11th wedding anniversary. The place is not owned by your sister and if she knows your financial situation and understands the break you are getting, she should be ecstatic for you!

    If you booked the venue and had it before her wedding, then I could see why she would be upset. But she's over reacting in my opinion.

    There's no logical reason for her to be pissed. If she says anything I would let her know in a pitying way that it's completely unreasonable. The dog that head a funny noise look for a bonus.

    That's cray cray.

    Please re book the venue. People do this crap because other people allow it and bend to them. Don't give her behavior credence by caving in to something irrational. She's more likely to grow the hell up when she sees your not giving in to her unreasonable behavior.
