She Does Not Want Her Sister-In-Law To Be Her Bridesmaid, And She’s Causing So Much Drama That She Might End Up Getting Uninvited
This woman, who is in her mid-20s, is engaged to her fiancé, Michael, who is also in his mid-20s.
She has been dating Michael for the last decade, and their relationship began when they were in high school. Their wedding is a year from now.
Michael has three sisters, two of whom are younger, and one of his sisters, Katie, is the oldest of the four siblings.
Two of Michael’s sisters have been extremely kind to her. They enjoy hanging out with her and constantly want to spend time with her and give her gifts on her birthday and during the holidays.
Katie, on the other hand, has never seemed to like her, and she picked up on this about a year into dating Michael.
Not long ago, she and Michael had their engagement party. During the party, they had planned to ask those whom they had in mind if they wanted to be their bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Michael hoped to involve Katie’s children in the wedding, and he wanted to ask Katie’s husband, Doug, if he would be interested in being one of his groomsmen.
She’d decided that she wanted one of Michael’s younger sisters, Dawn, to be one of her bridesmaids because they have a strong bond.
“Someone leaked the information to Katie before he got to ask Doug. I was elsewhere at the time, but when I saw Michael, he was clearly upset. I later found out that Katie had a fit because Michael wanted Doug and their kids, but I didn’t want Katie on my side of the court,” she said.

Once the party was over, she learned that Katie had said to her sisters that if she had been asked to be a bridesmaid, she would have turned it down. Katie was aware of the fact that Michael was the one who really wanted to have Doug as a groomsman.
The following day, Katie asked to have a discussion with her about everything.
While she could put herself in Katie’s shoes and acknowledge that Kaite must have felt like she wasn’t being included, she and Michael had plans to include her on their wedding day.
They were going to make sure that Katie was seated in one of the front rows for the ceremony, and at one of the front tables during the reception. This meant that she would have been included with the rest of her immediate family members.
As the conversation continued, Katie firmly requested that Doug and their children no longer be included as part of their wedding party unless she was involved as well.
Then, Katie brought up finances, adding that she felt like she was pushed to invite her to her wedding since her parents paid for her wedding. Because Katie hadn’t wanted to invite her in the first place, she made sure that she was seated in the very back so that she would be essentially ignored.
“I didn’t even want to go because I knew she didn’t like me. Well, this is not the case with us; we are paying for our wedding by ourselves. She said, ‘No offense. I respect you, but I don’t like you.’ I said, ‘I don’t really care.’ She has said that I don’t show enough appreciation toward her when she does decide to include me in family events,” she explained.
After the conversation, she informed Michael of what Katie said, and he was angry. He took her side and couldn’t believe that Katie was so disrespectful.
Over the years, she has treated Katie with kindness, but she learned early on to tread lightly. There have been numerous times when Katie has made it clear that she doesn’t like her, so there has always been tension between the two of them.
However, Michael’s family blames both of them.
Throughout her relationship with Michael, whenever she’s been around Katie, she’s always been civil, engaging in pleasantries, but it was never her goal to befriend Katie in any way.
“I honestly do not care much about her; I don’t have petty feelings. If she is rude to me, I instantly put on a face as if everything is okay. As planning is underway, I don’t want to invite her to the smaller functions (dress shopping, bridal shower, etc.). She also has a tendency to make things about herself and throw tantrums if anything is not about her. None of them are in the wedding now,” she shared.
She and Michael came to the decision that if Katie caused any more drama, they would disinvite her from the wedding.
