My future sil is seriously the devil.

I've ranted about her on here before but I swear I'm going to lose my absolute mind on this girl.

So she forced her way into my wedding party anyways. She and I were not friends when I made my selections. Neither I nor my fiance chose family members (I'm very close with my brothers and would've loved them to be groomsmen, but I didn't ask him to do that). About three and a half months ago, I believe, she called my fiance and went on a tirade about how she was upset that she wasn't a bridesmaid and how that's going to make her look bad to their family...? I wanted to try and save the relationship so I caved. We added my two brothers as groomsmen, bumped my Jr Bridesmaid up to a regular bridesmaid, and added SIL.

I've only asked her to help with one thing: coordinating some equipment pickup. And that's only because we're borrowing the equipment from her fiance's mother. And she refused to help with that.

Flash forward to my bachelorette party weekend. My MOH checked in with everyone on the day of the party and SIL confirmed that she'd be there. And guess who never showed up. Then the next day was my bridal shower. She texts me like two hours before the party saying she can't make it because her fiance is going to a fantasy football draft so she has to watch the kids. My party date had been set for a year. She knew. And there's no way that they didn't know in advance about the fantasy football thing. She was like "we'll bring your gift by though!" It's been a month and no gift -- which honestly I don't even want. I wanted her to meet my family and get to know my friends. Make an effort.

Then this morning. I texted her asking if her kids were staying for the reception as I'm working on the seating chart. They're all slated to be flower girls/ring bearers. Her response was "they're not going to be there at all that day." I was like oh...so are they not going to be in the wedding then? Her response was that she had never heard from me so she assumed that we didn't want them. I've literally had multiple conversations with her about this. In person. My fiance has talked to her about this. It was part of her complaint about her not being a bridesmaid. I swear to everything holy, I cannot stand this girl. There are 29 days until my wedding and she is pulling this crap.

Just needed to rant. And confirm that I'm not crazy.

    Oh boy! I'm so sorry you feel this way! I know what it feels like to have a SIL that you dont really like. My brother's wife isnt all that great and she is one of my husband's sister. WE do just fine not communicating at all, it's better and provides us peace. I wouldnt dare have her in my wedding If I were you, she would just have to be mad...OH WELL

    YIKES! i'm so sorry you're going through this. I would tell her that you want them there at the wedding (if you do) and if she chooses not to have them then you respect her decision but she cannot change her mind once you give the venue the seating chart. (i'd get it in writing somehow - maybe text so she can't say you never told her) best of luck with everything! don't let her ruin your perfect day! smile through it, deep breath and enjoy Smiley heart

    Oh WoW!! I'm soo sorry your future SIL sounds like a total wackadoodle! 🙈 My FH and I decided to include his brother, wife, and 2 nieces but we have not asked anyone to be a part of our wedding party yet. We figured him and his brother & SIL aren't all that close but they are cordial so we have nothing to loose and hoping more to gain. His bio sister on the other hand well I've only seen and met her once as she seems to always be offended by anything my FH does or doesn't do and has distanced herself from the entire family so she doesnt have to see my FH. So at this point shes not invited to the wedding. Even if she all of a sudden started to be nice at this point she would have to really prove she doesn't have a stick up her rear end in order for us to let her into our lives. Our motto is go where you are celebrated not where you are tolerated.
