Her Sister Declined Being A Bridesmaid In Her Wedding And She’s Angry Because She Thinks Her Sister Owes Her
A 24-year-old woman is getting married soon, and she fully expected her 27-year-old sister to be part of her wedding party, especially since she was a bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding.
She and her sister are not similar at all, but despite that, they still have a great relationship.
Her sister works as a curator for a big-deal museum and is in the middle of completing her PhD. She’s a cosmetologist and is trying to get her very own salon.
Anyway, her sister got married 2 years ago, and she was one of her sister’s bridesmaids. Her sister’s husband is very well-off, and her sister’s wedding was extremely luxurious.
“It was wonderful, but I felt that I made quite a number of sacrifices when it came to her wedding,” she explained.
“I kept telling myself that when it was my turn, she would return the favor.”
Now she’s engaged, and in contrast to her sister’s wedding, she just wants to have a backyard, BBQ-style event.
She and her fiancé have been taking their time getting their wedding planning together, and they’re having their wedding this upcoming summer.
The other evening, her sister and brother-in-law came over to her place for dinner, and when her sister wondered how the wedding planning process was going, she brought up the fact that she wanted her to be a bridesmaid.

Her sister then said she would not be able to be part of her bridal party.
“She said that honestly, she was a little wedding’d out with being so heavily involved as a bridesmaid,” she said.
“She also said that in the next year she has a lot going on with finishing her thesis and surprise she was pregnant.”
“She asked not to say anything and that they were planning to tell everyone at Christmas. She said she still wants to be involved, but on a smaller scale and just as a guest especially since she’ll have a new baby.”
“I told her she was selfish and after everything I had to put up with at her wedding, she owed me.”
Her sister was shocked and upset by her comment about being indebted to her. Her sister pointed out all of the things she didn’t get right leading up to the wedding day, like the fact that she griped about wearing a lavender bridesmaid dress.
Her sister continued by saying she also never made it to her bachelorette party because she picked a concert over that.
“She talked about how she was trying to be understanding and flexible but I made everything into a tantrum,” she wrote.
“I was lucky she didn’t ask me to step down cause she knew it would break me and she wanted me there beside her on her big day. I made her wedding about me. I told her to get out and they’d be lucky if I decided to invite them still.”
Well, her parents found out about this blowup at dinner, and they’re angry that she uninvited her sister to the wedding over all this.
Her parents now want to speak to her in person about what happened.
