Matron of Honor missing Bachelorette party

I just HATE how normal it is to tell brides they are being obnoxious or expecting too much when they're excited about getting married and celebrating with their girls. One monumental milestone isn't bigger or better than another. I've seen posts from brides who are genuinely insane and expecting the entire world from their party - and yes, we can all agree that's not realistic. Things do come up, some people can't afford certain things, you can't expect a whole group of people to be at your beck and call - But I'll never agree with the people who knock brides down when they're planning and getting ready for the happiest day of their life. It's HUGE! I have friends who are in my wedding who are pregnant, and I'm OVER THE MOON for them, as much as they are for me. We celebrate each other and try our best to plan things around each other. But they would never make me feel like my moment is less than theirs because I'm 'just getting married, I did't cure cancer' - like what. You can't bash brides for wanting to feel special and celebrated. As a bride's family/close friends, you should want her to feel celebrated and special!

Honestly, I find it rude. When you say yes to a bride you know your duties. Sister or not, you have to try and be there for all the events leading up to the big day. She had your day booked first and should have kept it. The thing of "well her friend got pregnant" doesnt work for this im sorry. My best friends wife shower was to happen the same day has mine but she was nice enough to move it because she knew mine was booked first. if you truly want to be there for someone you will make time. the bridesmaid are there to support the bride, doesnt matter if its a party or shower. Im sorry she wont be there and i hope you have a great time celebrating!!!!!

At this point, i dont think its about her bach party.... she's really hurt by her sister and thats heartbreaking.

Agree with this. No reason she can't attend both unless they are in different states.
