He Didn’t Take A Whole Day Off Work For His Sister-In-Law’s Wedding Since He Wasn’t Included In It, But Then She Got Upset With Him For Doing This
This man’s wife has a sister who is getting married on a Saturday this summer.
Unfortunately, his relationship with his sister-in-law isn’t great because, at family events, she makes negative jokes about his character. His sister-in-law’s rude comments about him made him feel as though she didn’t like him.
But his wife was chosen to be the maid of honor at his sister-in-law’s wedding, while their son was chosen to be the ring bearer.
He waited to see if his sister-in-law and brother-in-law would give him a role to play in their wedding, but they never did.
He didn’t feel entitled to a role in the wedding, but he was waiting to hear if he would have a role or not so that he could plan for his PTO accordingly.
So, he asked when he had to be at the wedding. When he was told that the ceremony was at noon, he decided to take six hours off of his originally scheduled 12-hour workday. Also, he’d still have to wake up at 4 a.m. the next day to get ready for work.
Apparently, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law weren’t happy when they heard about his plan for their wedding day.
“They have been intentionally ignoring me since they found out. They told my wife they expected me to take the entire day off (I work 12 hours every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) because they thought of me as a brother and assumed I would just want to be there for the rehearsal, dinner, morning of the wedding, and the wedding/reception,” he explained.
He went on to say that he felt like he wasn’t obligated to take the entire day off from work since he wasn’t playing a role in the wedding.

“Them not asking me to play a role, especially with my wife and our son having roles, confirmed for me that they don’t like me,” he said.
Then, he said that his plan to only take six hours off from his workday wasn’t retaliation against his brother-in-law and sister-in-law for not giving him a role in their wedding. His reasoning behind his decision was just that taking a full day off work would cut into his available PTO.
“It’s not my wedding, so I don’t make the calls, so it doesn’t bother me,” he clarified.
Thankfully, his wife defended him when his sister-in-law was upset that he didn’t take the entire day off work for the wedding. During the conversation, his wife also explained how his sister-in-law’s treatment of him has made him feel.
However, neither his sister-in-law nor his brother-in-law had reached out to talk to him or apologize. He further explained that on the day of the wedding, his son would be with his mother in the morning, and he would be bringing his son to the wedding and getting his son in his tux before the ceremony.
So, his wife won’t have to worry about being alone at the rest of the wedding events as maid of honor while taking care of their son.
Do you think he should have taken the entire day off of work to attend his sister-in-law’s wedding?
