sil in wedding???

Alyssa, on January 16, 2018 at 1:06 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 3
So, I have already decided on my two bridesmaids. My best friend who I have known since I was 11 is my MOH and my other good friend is my second bridesmaid. FH is having two groomsmen. My mother has told me that I need to ask my brother’s wife, my sister-in-law, to be in my wedding because she’s all excited for me, she’s family, and she had me as one of her bridesmaids in her wedding. I really don’t want 3 bridesmaids as we would then have an uneven number in the wedding party and I’ve already asked the other two girls. I can definitely find another job for her in the wedding and am planning on inviting her along when I go dress shopping and do other planning things. Am I being petty? Advice???

    You shouldn't have anyone in your bridal party that you don't want in it and uneven sides in the bridal party are okay too

    Nope. You only want two. You are not required to have your SIL in your wedding. At Christmas my brother came up to me in front of everyone and said that he and SIL were talking and she told him that she wanted to be a BM, but that she couldn’t ask me. So he took it upon himself to ask me if his wife could be a BM. Ummmm, no. I really like her, but we’re not close. We went six months without talking or texting at all so why would she think I would have her as a BM. She didn’t have me as a BM for her, I was a reader, and even if I had been a BM like you were for your SIL, that doesn’t automatically make someone a BM for you. Keep your wedding party with the 2 BM you want.

    As a SIL who was not a part of a wedding and really not included at all, I can tell you it was pretty hurtful. That said it’s your special day and you shouldn’t do anything just to please someone else or anything you don’t really want to!
