I’ve had it up to here with my soon to be sister-in-law. I asked her to be in my wedding in November of 2017. That was over a year ago. Fast forward to this year (2019).

I’ve had it up to here with my soon to be sister-in-law. I asked her to be in my wedding in November of 2017. That was over a year ago. Fast forward to this year (2019). I’ve been wedding planning for over a year now. Last year I sat down with all the bridesmaids, maid of honor, coordinator (at the time) and my mom and we discussed what was to come for my wedding. I asked EVERYONE if there was anything that would permit them from participating. They all said they were cool.

My so-called sis-in-law has been a thorn in my behind since the wedding planning has started. It took her 7 months to get her dress. It takes her over a week (sometimes more) to return phone calls and text msgs. She seems uninterested and not happy for us and all. Not to mention she tells her brother that she’s bringing her BOYFRIEND, someone whom we’ve never met. How rude is that? Then just today my maid of honor sends out a msg about the rehearsal for the wedding, which is NEXT FRIDAY!!! She says she can’t make it b/c she has night class!??!! What??!!

I’m done! Im tired of being considerate of someone who is obviously pre-occupied. Everyone else has made sacrifices - EVERYONE but she can’t? My step-daughter is even excited for me and her daddy. I can’t. I just can’t. It feels like she’s doing this out of obligation and I asked her sincerely. I really did. I’m just sorry I overlooked someone who GENUINELY wanted to be in my wedding 👰🏾. As far as I’m concerned she wasn’t down from the start. Smh

    Yes it is. I have made contact with the bridesmaids as well as the maid of honor but since my mom and others do not want me to be stressed, it was suggested that I let the maid of honor contact the other girls.

    No I won’t invite everyone’s some one special.. we did engaged and married only.. I am paying for everything I want my family there if they start dating someone a few months before my wedding or even if they aren’t serious and just want a plus one it’s not happening. It’s not bad on my part at all.. it’s my wedding and people need to discuss it with me not just assume they get a plus one..

    I think its hard to 100% commit in 2017 to a wedding in 2019 when you don't know exactly what will be going on in your life at that time. While I do agree she could probably miss the class and it not be a huge deal, there are some things that could play a role in the decision not too. I know I have had classes where If I miss more than 2 classes the entire semester I get an automatic failure. Its just the rehearsal so I don't think its a huge deal to be honest. Just have someone ready to fill her in on cues and what not.
