I’m a little salty over my sister in law’s plans for our destination wedding. For context, we originally planned to elope alone out of the country. Then our parents expressed interested in being there, so we said ok fine. Then our immediate families also wanted to go, so we agreed.
To make a long story short, my fiancé and I paid for all flights and accommodations for our now 16 guests. This was a huge expense and not something we initially planned on doing, but that’s a story for another time.
So these 16 guests are getting an all expenses paid trip for 1 week in the Amalfi Coast. We put together planned activities for the group to do together before/after the wedding. (Wine tours, tastings, visiting notable locations, etc.) We sent this out in the itinerary. My sister in law replied and said she will be “opting out” of the extra activities and doing her own thing with friends she has over there.
I am upset because this is OUR WEDDING and instead I feel like I just paid for an extravagant vacation for her. I expected our family to be TOGETHER celebrating our marriage. That’s not to say that I expect every single person to be forced to do these outings (they are optional and something fun to fill the week with), but to completely disappear from our group and go hang out with your friends??
Am I overreacting? I’m getting angry because we already accommodated their request to come and now she’s revealing she has other plans.
