You really need to get some counselling so you can get some space in your head. Your fixation with your sister copying you is not healthy, even if she IS.

How am I not supposed to be annoyed?

You are obscenely immature.

Let me guess.....she's the pretty skinny one?

With everything going on, you choose this to be angry about? Get a grip.

She said oh well now you can attend a venue there!

I didn't even know what to say. Like is that going to make me feel better?

so the only way to feel better is to just stop and drop the rope.

You don't need to be jealous. You don't need to worry about her one upping you because there is no such thing.

So you reply "OMG! so beautiful! I can't wait to attend. I looked at this venue for our wedding but it didn't work out. I am so happy for you!" And that's what happened. The venue didn't work out because of the budget but you just tell her it didn't work out because the place you got married was the best fit for your wedding - that is if she ever asks.

If she embraces baking - "Yeah! Now we can compare baking notes! Look at my latest bake"
if she embraces architecture -" There is a great exhibit coming up - let's go check it out together!"

This. OP, you were *so* incredibly rude to respond to your sister’s text and make it about you. The only appropriate response to her text would be something along the lines of, “Wow, it looks so gorgeous! I can’t wait to be there and see you walk down that aisle!”

Your weird comparison with your sister is going to destroy your relationship with her if you can’t get this jealousy under control. Please discuss with your therapist and the right question for him/ her is not to find a way to get your sister to not copy you. The real question is how you can stop comparing yourself and how you can find a way to be happy for her when good things happen to her.

I didn’t read all the responses, but in my medium-sized home city all of the nicer wedding venues have essentially the same aesthetic and lend themselves to further customization and decoration within that aesthetic. Also, wedding planning is basically just copying other people anyway until you reach the most expensive ones. It’s a long way of saying sister may not have had that many choices and I don’t think there is a need to take it personally or read into it.

Perhaps plan a nice anniversary getaway as a distraction.
