A Bride Refused to Change the Time of Her Wedding to Accommodate Her Sister and Thinks She’s Totally Right

A Bride Refused to Change the Time of Her Wedding to Accommodate Her Sister and Thinks She’s Totally Right

When two people stand their ground and defend their personal boundaries, aΒ conflict isΒ inevitable. The heroine ofΒ today’s article alsoΒ refusedΒ toΒ compromise with her stubborn sister and beΒ manipulated. And she had aΒ good reasonΒ β€” her ownΒ wedding.

The couple set their wedding for the fall.

IΒ am getting married toΒ myΒ fiancΓ© inΒ October this year. WeΒ got engaged inΒ January and couldn’t beΒ more excited. It’s aΒ very small wedding, and we’re only inviting close family and friends.

The problem isΒ with myΒ sister Lisa. Lisa has aΒ 2-year-old son with her husband. IΒ don’t have aΒ super affectionate relationship with Lisa for multiple reasons thatΒ I can’t fit into this post.

WeΒ sent out the wedding invites last month. Our wedding ceremony starts atΒ 1:30 p.m. and weΒ asked our guests toΒ please arrive atΒ the venue byΒ 1:00. The venue isΒ inΒ our hometown soΒ isΒ close byΒ toΒ the majority ofΒ the people inΒ our guest list, including Lisa.

Lisa told meΒ that the time β€œwouldn’t work” because ofΒ her 2-year-old’s nap schedule. She said heΒ takes aΒ nap atΒ 12Β and that she’s not forcing him toΒ beΒ awake, soΒ she can get him ready for the event, orΒ heΒ will beΒ aΒ terror. IΒ don’t have kids, butΒ I thought this was aΒ silly reason?

IΒ asked Lisa ifΒ she could find aΒ babysitter, and she said she can’t because everyone she trusts will beΒ atΒ the wedding. IΒ suggested that they atΒ least attend the reception, but she said she won’t ifΒ she can’t beΒ atΒ the wedding.

She told meΒ she won’t attend the wedding unless weΒ change the time. IΒ told her weΒ can’t doΒ that. Lisa said she’s not going then. IΒ was quite hurt byΒ this. IΒ wasn’t sure how toΒ react inΒ the moment, soΒ I just abruptly ended the conversation with anΒ excuse.

AΒ few days later, Lisa asked meΒ ifΒ I thought about her suggestion. IΒ reminded her there’s noΒ way weΒ can change the time. She told meΒ she hopes I’m happy that they aren’t attending and said that everyone isΒ going toΒ ask why she’s not there, and it’s all becauseΒ I can’t accommodate myΒ nephew. IΒ snapped atΒ her and told her the world doesn’t revolve around her and her son. She called meΒ aΒ bridezilla and has blockedΒ me.

MyΒ mom isΒ pestering meΒ toΒ make amends with Lisa, butΒ I just don’t think I’m inΒ the wrong.

Internet users sided with the bride.

  • Why doesn’t sister’s husband stay home with the child, sister comes toΒ the wedding and maybe her family joins her for the reception? © drwhogirl_97Β / Reddit
  • IΒ rather think that Lisa enjoys the kind ofΒ attention itΒ brings toΒ her how β€œher sister, her own flesh and blood, purposely excludes her from her wedding byΒ not respecting her toddler’s nap.” Some people love toΒ complain and play the victim. © AH_RaccoonΒ / Reddit
  • IΒ don’t think it’s wrong for her toΒ bow out ofΒ the wedding ifΒ itΒ doesn’t work for her routine, but she was entitled toΒ expect her sister toΒ change the time. © Altruistic_List_7984Β / Reddit

Who isΒ right here, who isΒ toΒ blame? ItΒ seems toΒ us that the wedding inΒ the first place isΒ the day ofΒ the newlyweds, and they have the right toΒ doΒ asΒ they please. But they don’t want toΒ hurt their families either.

True, our heroine isΒ definitely not the only one: weΒ have aΒ wholeΒ selection ofΒ storiesΒ that the wedding never goes smoothly and flawlessly. But it’s definitely fun.
