Maid of Honor issues

Shellsea, on September 23, 2020 at 9:49 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 4




The first thing I did when I got engaged was pick out the colors and the theme of my wedding. I’m having a Texas/Rustic wedding in the summer of 2022 and the colors will be navy blue and sunflower yellow. The venue will be indoor/outdoor on a ranch. But there’s a problem...


Little background on what’s been happening..


I am 25 years old and have recently received my bachelors degree and have had the blessing of being with a man like no other, who I’ve been with for four years and have been happily engaged to for a year now. Yet, I have a hard time celebrating anything around my sister who can’t seem to be happy for me and has to belittle everything from my degree to the proposal/wedding and more since the proposal .


One day my sister had the bright idea to ask me when was I going to have kids...and proceeded to say “like never?!”


I always wanted to have kids around the age of now, 25, but doesn’t seem to be as realistic as I thought at this moment.

  1. Why do people ask this
  2. I always wanted to get married first
  3. I want to be able to provide for my children as does my fiancé, but I’m having a hard time finding a job during this pandemic, if I may add which in (MY OPINION) probably isn’t the greatest time to have a baby.


My sister goes around talking behind my back with my own mother, other family members, and some friend of hers. Feeding them basically how terrible of a person, sister, daughter, aunt I am.


But I have to say my favorite is how I have to hear from my own 12 year old nephew that my sister is talking to one of her friends about how

“Why does she want a country wedding”

“She doesn’t even like country music”

“Well I’m just wondering who this wedding is really for”


Btw she is my maid of honor because I thought at least she would be one person who would care about me the most on one of my biggest day. I was wrong, all she wishes to do is criticize and belittle every little thing I say or do. This was obviously a huge mistake. All of this negativity really seems to have kicked off when I got engaged.


I was thinking about honestly making some else my maid of honor but how do you take back that after you have already told them...


Please help..

    I’m so sorry your sister isn’t supportive or happy for you and your accomplishments. Honestly if I were in your shoes ( I’m very brutally honest with my sister) I would straight up ask her why she is being this way. Use specific examples of all the times she has belittled or spoken ill of you and see if she has an answer. If not she might just be extremely jealous of you and wishes she had a life more similar to yours and she doesn’t know how to deal with it other then by putting you down. But in all honesty that might not be who you are so you can try to talk with her about your feelings but weddings are stressful enough you do not need such a negative person in your bridal party. I would tell her she’s welcome as a guest but she is not being supportive at all and you can’t have such negativity on one of the happiest days of your life.

    Have you asked her why she treats you this way? My assumption is she is jealous because I am not sure why else you would treat your sister this way! I think it is fair to ask her why she is acting this way and then tell her if it continues you will remove her from her MOH position and find someone who is happy for you and doesn’t talk trash about you behind your back.
    Also, ignore her comments. It is yours and your FH’s wedding, and lives. Do whatever makes you happy!

    I'm so sorry Shellsea, that's really unkind and hard to hear. The good news is that it's not her wedding, and she doesn't have to like the theme or the decor. It's your wedding, and you get to plan the wedding that you and your fiancé want!

    And on the personal question-ducking - I started telling my mom several years ago when she'd ask when I'll have kids that "I add 5 years to the timeline every time you ask"! 😉

    Honestly she's probably jealous...it happens. I feel if you don't have a conversation with her about it then it may get worse as the planning moves forward. Wedding planning is already stressful and you don't need added stress especially coming from your own sister. I'm sorry that your going through this but she may seriously be jealous. Being young, engaged, just graduated from college (🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations) and NO KIDS is a huge threat to some who maybe didn't have the option to choose their path can bring a lot of hate. Which is crazy to me because we all have our own seasons to shine and this is your season and your moment! Don't let her take that away from you. Talk to her and see where her head is.
