She Uninvited Her Sister From Her Wedding After She Made A Hurtful Comment About Her Fiancé And Then Tried To Bring Her Boyfriend As Her Plus One
This 28-year-old woman and her sister, 25, used to have a close relationship growing up, but as time went on, they became distant due to differences in their personalities and lifestyle choices.
For the last seven years, she has been in a relationship, and her now fiancé, 30, proposed six months ago.
She is deeply in love with him and feels intensely sure and confident about their longevity as a couple. Since their engagement, they’ve been wedding planning.
Several weeks ago, she and her fiancé were at a dinner with her family. Her fiancé was talking about a hiking trip he’d been on recently, and he was enthusiastically explaining a difficult trail that he’d climbed.
“Out of nowhere, my sister made a snide comment, saying, ‘It’s surprising you actually did something that requires physical effort.’ She said that and looked directly into my eyes. Ever since I started dating him, she made fun of me for being with a chubbier man,” she explained.
After her sister’s rude remark, everyone at the dinner was quiet, and she looked at her fiancé and saw how upset and sad he clearly was. He ignored the comment and acted as if it didn’t bother him, but she knew her sister’s words affected him.
Once the dinner was over, she talked to her sister alone about her awful comment.
“My sister dismissed it, saying it was just a joke and that my fiancé shouldn’t be so sensitive. This really upset me, as her comment felt like a direct attack on the person I love. I explained to her how important my fiancé is to me and how her words were hurtful,” she shared.
Then, several days ago, she sent wedding invitations to her close friends and family. After receiving the invitation, her sister texted her to ask if she could bring her new boyfriend as her plus one (they’d been dating for about two months).

She considered her sister’s request and ultimately made the decision against allowing her sister to bring her new boyfriend.
Her reasoning was that there was already tension between her and her sister as it is, and she wanted to have a smaller wedding with guests whom she knew were supportive and with whom she felt comfortable.
“I told my sister that we were having a small wedding and couldn’t accommodate plus ones for people we didn’t know well,” she said.
“She didn’t take it well. She accused me of bad things, like not being happy for her and not wanting her to enjoy the day as much as I would. After a while, I was sick of her and told her she was not invited anymore. I brought up the hurtful comment she made about my fiancé and how that played a role in my decision and that she doesn’t respect my boundaries. She got defensive and said I was overreacting.”
After being uninvited from the wedding, her sister talked to several members of the family, claiming that she was being irrational and that she was using a rude comment about her fiancé’s weight to leave her sister out of the wedding.
Unfortunately, some of the family took her sister’s side and reached out to say that she should put all the issues with her sister aside and invite her to the wedding.
