Just last Saturday, this 24-year-old woman was proposed to by her 25-year-old fiancé, whom she had been dating for three years.

So, she was obviously over the moon and immediately called everyone in her family to share the good news.

She also already intended to visit her family and attend a concert with them on Tuesday. That’s why her mom was super eager to start planning her wedding as soon as they saw each other.

However, there is just one major problem. Since her mom is paying for the event, her mom believes it’s necessary for her 26-year-old sister to be her maid of honor. And she just isn’t okay with that.

For context, she and her sister were never close growing up. First of all, they attended different schools– she went to public school, while her sister attended a private school.

Plus, they played different sports and had entirely different friend groups.

This past weekend, when she saw her family, she also noticed how seriously rude her sister was acting.

“Which is not unusual for my sister, but it seems like it was more this weekend,” she noted.

Anyway, she did try to broach the topic of her sister being her maid of honor. However, her sister didn’t seem thrilled in the slightest.

Her sister didn’t want to give a speech at her wedding, and when she brought up her bachelorette party ideas, her sister actually called them childish. Apparently, she just wanted to visit a local theme park.

On top of that, they went to pick out fabric colors for her mom’s wedding sash, and her sister didn’t even want to go in the store!

“Do I have to go? Can I just stay in the car?” her sister asked once they arrived.

Later on, her sister also hated every color combination that she picked out.

Yet, the worst thing of all was when her sister started making comments about her weight.

To be clear, she is not overweight. She is five-foot-nine and weighs 180 pounds right now.

Yes, she always used to weigh less than her sister– who is five-foot-five. But, about a month ago, her sister lost some weight, meaning that she’s now a bit heavier than her sister.

So, for some reason, her sister felt the need to start making totally uncalled-for remarks about how she needed to lose weight before her big day!

Anyway, all of these rude incidents happened over the course of just one weekend.

“And I am concerned about how the rest of the planning will go if my sister is not supporting these small decisions,” she explained.

That’s why she actually doesn’t want her sister to be in her bridal party anymore. Instead, she’s considering going a different route entirely– eloping– just so she can get out of having her sister as her maid of honor.

“And I don’t want to put my mom in a position to choose between the two of us,” she vented.

Still, she’s now been left wondering if not wanting her sister to be in her wedding and just eloping instead would really be the wrong thing to do.

Why do you think her sister has been acting so rude about her wedding? Can you understand why she doesn’t want her sister to make such a positive event in her life super negative? Do you think she should elope if that’s what would make her happiest or not?
