What would you do?

LOL The bride was way too nice with her response, but I agree.. I would say absolutely not.

I would have said "nice try, but no. Enjoy your conference."

I think it was okay that she asked her( it doesn't hurt I guess) But I would also say no to moving my date to revolve around her. Like weddings are so hard to plan for already. Making a drastic change like that is just something I could not do.

I'm kind of petty so I probably would have typed back "LOL, no..." but then likely deleted it and just let my FH deal with it at that point.

View Quoted Comment Agreed. No harm in asking. It's ridiculous if she really thought it was possible, but I feel like this is her FSILs way of excusing herself from attending the wedding.

Goodness no! Some people feel so entitled, ugh

I don't blame her for trying but I would be slightly offended that she'd even have the guts to ask, especially if we got along like the bride said they did.

My favorite part was that she said she just had to ask. What else did she expect?

I totally agree. You almost hear the "umm...no?" in her response.

Yup haha! Byeeee!

Yup lol. I honestly see my FSIL (brother's fiancée) pulling something like this too. She's the type to only join in on family events if it means it benefits her. For instance, she only invited all of us over for dinner so she could ask for help moving the very next morning.

Right?!? This girl knew when the wedding was and still chose to book this conference? No, I'm not rearranging the whole wedding- and other events included- just because you can't schedule your life.

I would have said no. But I wouldn't have shamed her all over the Internet. Clearly, she had no idea how hard it would be to reschedule a wedding. And she took the "no" with good grace. Shaming her seems like a bad step if you want to keep that "good relationship" (which you do, since she's about to be part of your family).

I would say no. That's ridiculous. I wouldn't shame them for it but I'd be annoyed that's for sure. The audacity.

Ooooo heck to the noo. Has she never been to a wedding?
Like yeah lets just move it all to a different day. You can move a birthday party. You cant move a wedding with 80 something days to go! Ommg

Exactly! At that point it's not just making arrangements with the venue or vendors; but it's also however many guests' travel itineraries.

Hell no! I had recently had lunch with my FH and FSIL and we were discussing the date of the wedding and she opens her calendar up on her phone and says, “Oh I wonder if I have work that day?” . I didn’t say anything to her but are you kidding me you have like a 4 month notice to get the day off! 😤

I would've asked why she hasn't taken that day off yet lol. I'm seriously waiting for my brother's fiancee to pull something similar. My FH and I are calling it, "{insert excuse here}"

View Quoted Comment Lol... honestly I didn’t say anything cuz I’m very non-confrontation, I know my FH didn’t hear her say it and I didn’t wanna tell him about it cuz it might stir up drama I know he would’ve said something to her then.
