She Declined To Be Her Future Sister-In-Law’s Maid Of Honor Because She’s Simply Too Busy, And Now Her Future Sister-In-Law Is Ranting About Her Behind Her Back
Being someone’s Maid of Honor is very special, but depending on the kind of wedding the bride wants, it can feel like a full-time job.
Some brides out there expect the Maid of Honor to plan all the events leading up to the wedding herself, from the bridal shower to the bachelorette party.
One woman recently upset her future sister-in-law after saying no to being her bridesmaid because she’s too busy. Now she’s wondering if she made the wrong choice.
She’s 29 years old and just had a baby with her husband. He has a younger brother who recently got engaged to his girlfriend, so she’ll soon have a new sister-in-law.
“I have known his brother’s girlfriend for four years,” she explained.
“We’re not extremely close, but we hang out whenever there’s a family get-together.”
Her future sister-in-law asked her if she’d be her Maid of Honor. It was a bit unexpected, considering she has four other bridesmaids consisting of cousins and school friends.
Unfortunately, she had to say no, because she knew it would be too big of a job. In addition, her future sister-in-law will need help planning all the wedding-related events.
With her baby under six-months-old, she already has too much on her plate to help plan a wedding. So instead, she offered to be a regular bridesmaid.

Although the bride-to-be seemed fine when she first said no, she heard that she was ranting about her to her brother-in-law behind her back.
Her future sister-in-law accused her of acting cold and suggested she was lying about not having enough time to be a Maid of Honor since she’s still technically on maternity leave.
Later, her husband got a call from his brother, who told him she should be more accommodating. So she got on the phone and said she’d reconsider being Maid of Honor as long as the bride helped cover at least half of the responsibilities.
Then, she got an angry call from her future sister-in-law.
“The next day, she calls me and asks me why I’m being so difficult,” she recalled. “She says I’m the only one in the bridal party not working and that I should step up.”
She had to remind the bride that although she is still on maternity leave, caring for her baby is a full-time job. Her future sister-in-law ended their phone call, still upset. Now, she’s wondering if she should be more accommodating to the bride-to-be to avoid any more drama.
