May regret my moh

Jennifer, on March 11, 2022 at 11:16 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 6

Hi everyone,

My sister is 7 years older than me, never been married and my only sister. We used to be really close but she lives a very different lifestyle that I do (she parties like every day and gets into drama and just hangs with a different crowd) so I have kept my distance but I still go to every of my niece/nephews events and if we ever need each other for something the support is there from both sides. Honestly though, I only made her my MOH because I knew she would be heartbroken if I didn't ask her, and I would never hear the end of it from my mom (who I actually recently cut out of my life cause she's so toxic but that's for another time). But now I'm seeing my sister could care less, she keeps ghosting me for days and bailed last minute on me to go to the bridal expo. Has anyone else gone thru this? I know if this gets worse and she really starts to drop the ball I might have to ask her to step down but I see that resulting in the end of our relationship. Should I just suck it up and deal with it and just remember this about her going forward after the wedding? I don't think I was so much expecting more from her, we just always talked about how she would be my maid of honor one day and I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt as her sister.

    I understand. My MOH is my sister. She doesn’t even want to be. We’re only doing it because my mother would’ve never let me hear the end of it. My mother is toxic as well so I understand

    Ugh sucks for us. The thing is too, my sister is saying all this stuff about how she wants to be in a nicer dress than traditional bridesmaids dress yet she won't even respond to my texts about finding a dress that she likes. I wanted the girls to order from Azazie cause it's way cheaper and just easier to pick from and I told her she needs to pick a dress before anybody else since she wants to be "different" but yet won't respond to me or make an account even though I have sent the link a million times to her. So I am going to just send all the girls in a group chat the color I chose and let them pick, I'm done letting her have first dibs, not my problem anymore.

    I think you need to have a talk with her about your expectations and what you want her to do as MOH. She may think that she only needs to do the bare minimum: buy her dress by a certain date and walk down the aisle on your big day. If you want her to do more than that, you need to ask her what exactly she can commit to and possibly adjust your expectations. For example, why does she need to go to the bridal expo with you? Planning the wedding is your job, not hers, so there's nothing for her to do at a bridal expo. Don't ask her to those non-essential events.

    For the bridal expo I extended an invite to her. I’ve never been in a wedding before so planning one is scary as hell. She said yes up until 20 mins before I went to pick her up (she doesn’t have a car)
    If she didn’t want to go then don’t go. But don’t tell me you’ll be there for moral support and then bail. That’s not cool no matter what it is

    Ok, so a few things here. You're getting married more than a year from now? I think you're doing things too early with dress ordering etc. How do you know what size everyone will be in May, 2023?

    The bridal expo thing sucks for sure, she should have kept her commitment. However, the role of MOH does not mean she has to do things for the wedding. It might serve you best to lower your expectations now on that.

    My sister is my MOH, I love her to death but she’s a hot mess, disorganized and her and I are polar opposites as far as what we like and need. I just told my bridesmaids exactly what was up with her and they did all the planning around her. They didn’t exclude her, made her feel like she had said but they did all the work. I think she’s honestly relieved.
