This may be a requirement for all guests pay for food out-of-pocket, or a whole web of conspiracies behind the newlyweds Future in-laws may disagree whether a bride should be or not. walked down the aisle by an older sister who raised her alone, or by a guest who is entitled to order fast food Direct to receptionAnd, for example, as happened in this story, User u/Reasonable_Cabinet54.

After the wedding, the husband showed the author a post on her sister’s Facebook and a photo of herself hanging out at the resort with her new boyfriend.
So the original poster (OP) shows that she and her future husband were planning a wedding just before the pandemic started and the post’s author made her older half-sister to be her maid of honor. Of course she happily agreed and bought the dress in advance. What happened next is something we all know very well: the wedding was postponed for a year as COVID-19 hit and quarantine restrictions were put in place.
A lot happened during this time, as the OP recalls. For example, her sister met a new man and immediately decided to move in with all the children. Well, dreams are great, but what about wedding invitations? A future MOH confirmed she had arrived again (she lived far enough away), but she said she would probably stay at a hotel.
But suddenly, with only a few days left until the wedding, the sister called the OP again and said she and her boyfriend couldn’t come because they couldn’t afford the long flight (initially, the author The woman planned to drive herself, according to a recall posted as). Of course, her bride was incredibly upset, but what could she do, especially if she notified all of her guests in advance that she would not be able to fund her trip.
However, the wedding went well. Yes, the bride’s side was short, but no one really paid any attention to this. I was exposed with my boyfriend at an expensive resort and even talked about our upcoming wedding venue. This was such a shock to her original poster that she literally blocked her sister on every platform and when she sent her wedding invitation, she threw it away without reading it. I was.

“The situation looks ugly for the failed Maid of Honor, to say the least,” says Irina Matveeva. Psychologist and Certified NLP Specialistto whom bored panda I asked for a comment on this matter. “The heroine’s sister’s behavior seems selfish. Yes, she seems to have lied to her sister about her reasons for refusing to come – but even in this case, at least a trip to the resort literally on the same day could not be advertised.
“Perhaps the decision to go on vacation to a resort was made even earlier, and ‘financial hardship’ was just an excuse. The Facebook post didn’t look so negative, and the sisters’ relationship wouldn’t have deteriorated dramatically.
It’s actually quite common for guests to refuse to attend a wedding.according to Great for bride stats, “The average number of people who say ‘no’ to a wedding is 15-20%. ” On the other hand, the stats given might be guests who actually did RSVP a long time ago, not future maids of honor. In any case, experts recommend simply “Don’t run away with any cancellations.” “At the end of the day, your happiness is what matters, and don’t let anyone get in the way of that,” the source claims.
However, most commenters on the original post have not particularly restrained their outrage over the sister’s actions. The only thing a commenter would advise the original poster in this situation is not to act like her entitled sister, but still politely but coolly decline her own wedding invitation. So – probably no explanation. What do you think of this?
