She’s Not Inviting Her Sister To Be Her Maid Of Honor And She’s Wondering If That Makes Her Mean
Whether you have stopped talking to certain family members a long time ago or are just meeting a long-lost sibling for the first time in your life, the most challenging decision involves rekindling the relationship and allowing them to be a part of special events in your life.
Some of us even have friends we consider to be more like family than those we are actually related to.
Unfortunately, this can often cause a disagreement when it comes to choosing who will be standing by your side on your special day.
A couple in their late 20s has been together for six years, and while they got engaged over four years ago, they have been postponing the marriage due to a significant life event that changed the bride’s life forever.
In 2018 the bride received a text from a woman claiming to be her sister. In disbelief, she chose to postpone her wedding.
A few days had passed, and the woman who claimed to be her sister sent photos of them and their parents at birthday parties and other childhood pictures.
It turns out that the story was correct. Her mother got pregnant with her sister with another man while she was with her dad.
When she found out, she left her husband and her daughter. She was so young when her mother left that she could only remember certain features about her.
She and her long-lost sister ended up chatting and bonding over coffee. However, she eventually attempted to rekindle the relationship with their mom, and while they were able to connect, the relationship was not the best.

Fast forward three years and this bride then decides that she is ready to move forward with the wedding.
Since the situation with her sister was still a bit fresh, she decided to make her best friend of many years her maid of honor.
When asking her sister if she would like to be in the bridal party, she screamed at her for not choosing her to be the maid of honor and said some harsh words that one may never be able to forget.
“She immediately started yelling at me through the phone, saying how ‘we were family and family goes before any pathetic friendship’ and told me how I was being…selfish…because our mother had left me and that I was just being salty,” she explained.
While she loves her sister and is extremely happy to have her back in her life, she knows she is making the right choice by having her closest friend as the maid of honor for her wedding.
“I love my sister, but she is a relatively recent addition to my family, and I’ve been friends with my maid of honor since elementary school,” she said.
“I really want my sister to be there as a bridesmaid, as her support means a lot to me.”
She woke up to a few messages from her sister that were not as pleasant. Finally, she told her she was making a big mistake and that she would not be attending the wedding unless she was crowned the maid of honor.
Should she even welcome her sister’s ceremony at this point?
