She Doesn’t Want Her Little Sister At Her Wedding Reception, But Her Dad Threatened Not To Go At All If Her Sister Isn’t There
This 24-year-old woman and her fiancé, who is 23, will be tying the knot in December in their home state of Tennessee.
While they decided that they wanted to have a child-free reception, they also opted to allow the kids in their family to attend the ceremony. After all, they think that’s the most important part of their wedding day.
However, all of their family members will be traveling to attend the event. And there are three kids in her family– her 17-year-old cousin, her 11-year-old cousin, and her little sister, who is 10.
She and her fiancé know that her teenage cousin will just try to sneak drinks at their reception, which will create problems. And since their friends are all around their age and big partiers, they really don’t want kids there.
“We also know that my 17-year-old cousin would be willing to be the childcare during the reception if we pay her,” she added.
But she’s been experiencing anxiety about having a child-free wedding and telling her family. This past weekend, she even had a massive panic attack over the situation.
At the time, her family had been visiting, too, so her dad went to her home to comfort him.
“I told him, in what I thought was confidence, about what we had decided, and that was why my anxiety was so high,” she recalled.
“I’ve been worried about telling my family and how they will feel.”

Well, after she confided in her dad, he called her up and claimed that he couldn’t keep her secret anymore. Then, he called a family meeting without her to discuss her child-free wedding.
Her dad also wound up asking if her little sister could just go to the reception anyway and said that if not, they might not go to the wedding at all.
According to her, her little sister does have some behavioral issues. For instance, her sister will cry at any little thing, even if it’s just her mom saying no to a snack. Her sister reportedly also still “talks like a baby” and even tried to bite her last weekend.
Anyway, she now has severe anxiety after getting pushback from her father. So, she’s been left wondering whether not wanting her little sister to attend her wedding reception really makes her a jerk or not.
Does she have a right to invite whoever she wants to her wedding? Was her dad the wrong person to confide in about the situation? How do you think her sister will feel about getting left out? What would you do?
