She Told Her Fiancé’s Parents That His Sister Didn’t Belong In The Bridal Party, And They Freaked Out On Her
This woman and her fiancé recently got engaged, and while starting to plan their wedding, they also picked out who was going to be in their wedding party.
For bridesmaids, she chose her two closest friends. As for her fiancé’s groomsmen, the group will consist of two friends that are like brothers to them.
The real problem, though, concerns her fiancé’s family– well, more specifically, her fiancé’s little sister.
Apparently, his sister is four years younger than him and was a childhood cancer survivor. And according to her, that experience entirely impacted her fiancé’s own childhood and relationship with his sister and parents.
“My fiancé’s parents favor his sister, spoil her rotten, and expect everyone to follow suit. And his sister uses that to her advantage with people,” she revealed.
“My fiancé also has admitted that sometimes he hates her.”
This stems from the fact that her fiancé’s sister would constantly make him feel bad and throw her cancer survivorship in his face whenever he said no to something growing up. And sometimes, her fiancé’s sister even accused him of wishing that she had died.
So now, her fiancé largely blames his parents for condoning that behavior and even harbors a lot of resentment toward them– since he was practically ignored as a child due to his sister’s sickness while simultaneously being expected to treat his sister like a princess after the fact.
“My fiancé said his parents ruined her and gave him a crappy childhood,” she vented.

Anyway, her fiancé is now not super close with his family because of all that. But recently, after she and he picked out their wedding party members, they were hit with some serious family drama.
Apparently, back when they first picked their bridesmaids and groomsmen, her fiancé made it clear that he did not want his sister in the wedding.
She totally respected that decision, given their history, and, to be blunt, she did not care about having his sister involved since they were not close, either.
Well, it appears that her fiancé’s sister was waiting on a bridesmaid invite from the moment she and her fiancé got engaged– an invitation that obviously never came.
So, she personally received a phone call from both her fiancé’s sister and her fiancé’s parents asking why his sister was not asked to be a bridesmaid. And she was forced to be honest.
She simply told everyone that she had not planned to ask her fiancé’s sister since the bridal party was just her two closest friends.
But, her future in-laws claimed that her fiancé’s sister is family and that it is supposedly “important” to her fiancé.
“So, I told them she was not close to me, and they were asking me to include her in my bridal party– where she does not belong,” she recalled.
Well, her fiancé’s parents clearly did not take the honesty well– because they ended up calling her a total jerk and claiming that she should be making more of an effort.
Then, her fiancé’s parents even tried to say that no one belonged in her bridal party more than her fiancé’s sister.
And they said that if she thinks otherwise, then she is a bully who is inconsiderate of everything that her fiancé’s sister has been through.
So anyway, after receiving all of that backlash from her future in-laws, she has been feeling totally puzzled.
It’s obvious that her fiancé does not want his sister involved in the wedding, and she could not care less about his sister being involved, either.
At the same time, though, she is not sure if telling her fiancé’s parents that his sister “does not belong” in the bridal party was the wrong way to handle the situation.
Do you think being a sibling of the bride or groom automatically secures you a place in the wedding party? Do you think she has a right to decide who is in her bridal party or not? Do you believe it was good she was honest with her fiancé’s parents, or was she too harsh?
