Do you regret your Bridesmaid choice?

Stacey_S, 29 April, 2013 at 09:42 Posted on Planning 0 1

I’ve asked my sister to be maid of honour and so far I feel like my wedding is just a huge inconvenience to her. The first thing she did when she opened the invite was moan about “how much this wedding is going to cost her”. (She’s not short of money)

We’re all staying at the venue the night before and when she booked her room she haggled a discount. Then when she called a few weeks later to pay they had no record of her discount so she said she wasn’t going to bother staying the night before, even though I wanted all the bridesmaids there. In the end I had to call my wedding co-ordinator at the venue and she honoured the discount for me.

Now she’s saying she won’t be coming to the rehearsal the day before because her son has football club and she’s got too much to do at home! She said that I can just fill her in on what she needs to do on the day! Now I’m worried that she won’t know what part of the music to start walking down the aisle to, in what order, or where to sit when she reaches the end!

I don’t really want to say anything and cause a family row but it is all stressing me out and making me feel quite upset.

    My Maid of honour is also my sister who has recently announced that she is pregnant! The baby is going to be born well before the wedding so thats not really and problems but I just know that my wedding is not going to be high on her (or my parents) list of importance once the baby is here. I think sometimes its just a case of having to accept that its your day and some people will always feel that whats going on in their lives is more important to them. Its hard to accept though ☹️

    I'm not sure if you've been an auntie before, I am to 2 of the most fabulous and cheeky little boys! I love them with all my heart. Their being born would have always take precedence over my wedding day!

    Admittedly I'm not getting married and am single! :-) but hey....once they are here your whole world will change and you won't mind if your sister is disctracted with the baby! Your day will be important to her and your family, but it is your day and it may not be AS important to your guests and family as it is you, similarly your sister might be sat fretting that as you are planning your wedding at the moment, her pregnancy may not be high on your agenda....when actually she may need you to help her out.

    Anyway...congrats on being an auntie, it's the best job in the world!
