My sister is getting married October 4. I'm MOH and wedding coordinator. My sister's friend has now decided she's not coming. The reason her long distance BF ( New Zealand) is now going to be in town. We've told her to bring him. But now that's not enough wants to spend every moment with him alone. I really want to tell her off but probably wouldn't do anything. |
While what the BFF is doing sucks ..
Nothing for you can do or say. Does your sister know? Is the BFF part of the bridal party ? Ehh. |
Unless she’s in the wedding party I wouldn’t care. |
That is REALLY long distance. |
Sure it is. But does she need to ditch her friend over it. They can take a break from banging each other for a few hours. But yes not something Id bother with even if she's in the party. Focus on your sister and making it work with what you got |
It isn’t your business, though. And you would be way out of line to say something. Your sister is a big girl. She can use her words. |
OP, don't be a jerk. Mind your own business. |
She kind deserves to be told off, but you shouldn't do it. |
I had what I thought was a really good friend do this to me. She wasn’t in the wedding party, because I didn’t have one. It was a small wedding. I said to bring him along. She didn’t want “waste a minute of time together.” Turns out, he was married. Yuck. I just stopped talking to her after that. It was pretty easy to see where I really ranked with her, so that was the end of that.
There’s no point telling her off. Your sister will make her own decision. If this is an in-town wedding that requires nothing other than showing up, it’s pretty crappy not to come to a good friend’s wedding. |
I would point out how often people ditch their friends and support networks for a new romantic interest, often to regret doing so later. If he's not worth bringing to a wedding, why is he worth throwing away a friendship for?
Telling her off seems counterproductive, but telling her some hard facts and honest truths might get through. |
