She’s Refusing To Attend Her Sister’s Lavish Destination Wedding, Which Will Cost Thousands Of Dollars For One Weekend Because Her Sister Didn’t Attend Her Graduation Ceremony
This woman and her sister have always had a pretty competitive relationship. So, when she graduated from her Master’s program, her sister didn’t attend her graduation.
Apparently, her sister couldn’t go because she was away on a retreat with her fiancé at the time.
“But it was a big deal for me because I was the first in our family to get a graduate degree, and I really wanted her to be there,” she recalled.
That’s why she was incredibly hurt by her sister’s absence, and they got into a big argument about the missed graduation.
Still, her sister claimed that it was only “another ceremony” and accused her of being too sensitive.
Now, that was a while ago, but her sister is set to get married soon. So, old feelings about the graduation debacle have resurfaced, and she isn’t on board with attending.
For context, her sister decided to have a destination wedding on a super exclusive island. This caused the cost of attending to be very expensive, and she simply could not comfortably afford it.
“I’m talking about several thousand dollars for the weekend,” she revealed.
But, when she told her sister that she might not be able to go, her sister freaked out on her. She even got accused of trying to “sabotage” her sister’s big day!

She isn’t lying about being tight on money, though. Right now, she is trying to save up to buy a home, and she tried explaining that to her sister, too.
Nonetheless, her sister still claimed that she was being selfish. Her sister also told her that she should just take out a loan instead of missing her sister’s “once-in-a-lifetime moment.”
Since then, she hasn’t gotten back to her sister about whether or not she will be attending. However, she’s still leaning toward just skipping the wedding.
Her parents are against that, claiming that she should just “suck it up” and be there for her sister in order to keep things peaceful.
“But I don’t see why I should go into debt for my sister’s wedding when she couldn’t even drive across town for my graduation,” she vented.
Regardless, with practically her whole family giving her pushback, she’s now been left wondering if refusing to attend her sister’s wedding because her sister didn’t show up to her graduation would be a petty thing to do.
Do you think that she should be responsible for “keeping the peace” in her family? Would you want to show up for your sibling if they didn’t show up for you on your big day? Also, should she have to go into debt just to attend her sister’s wedding? What would you do?
