First off, I hope all the 2020 brides are keeping well this year - this has definitely been an eventful year. For me, I’ve had to postpone more than three times due to Covid, and just recently we finally booked a new date this year. I anticipate a much smaller guest count which I’m happy with.
I have a few guests coming from out of town, including my sister who will be flying up from LA to Canada for the wedding. I am living in Canada that is following stricter quarantine measures for international travellers. The problem is that my sister who is coming from the US wants to quarantine with my family and I at my parents home with her two children - one of who is not even a month old. We have all advised against this as there is not sufficient Space in our home nor is it idea for quarantine because there are some members that go to work in a health care facility.
Anyways, my sister has quite the habit of just making her own plans, not consulting anyone, and then just expecting everyone to go along with what she wants. After I alone with my parents discussed with her that perhaps she find other accommodations for her 14 day quarantine such as an airbnb or hotel, she freaked out on us and texted me that she wasn’t coming to the wedding of my shower.
I didn’t reply to her because to be honest, I am very hurt. I understand that she is upset that her plans of free babysitting and days to sleep in while we scramble to keep her children safe have been challenged, but I don’t see any reason for her to be upsetting everyone including myself the bride. There are still a lot of things I need to take care for the wedding since we were able to lock down a date very last minute including setting up our home, buying furniture, home supplies, etc.
What do I do? Should I stay silent? Mind my own business and focus on myself And the wedding?
