[quote=Anonymous]This is one of my favorite stories of how warm and welcoming DH's family is.  When I asked SIL to be in our wedding her words were "wellllll....what will we be weeeeeeeaaarrrring???".

Which is fine, I get it, but there are more tactful ways to ask, and more tactful ways to decline. It's all about her - always was, and always will be, as far as she is concerned.

In my family, all siblings are in the wedding, and all siblings are glad to do it.  Which told me a lot about DH's family, sadly.

My mom didn't say anything to anyone but me, but she was appalled and disgusted that any sibling would respond that way: "she is 'close enough' to be given a well paying job, the utmost flexibility, a resume boost that is priceless, and a title that is clearly well above her skills, but she can't be in his wedding a couple hours?!" Which was true, DH was extremely generous to his family.  I felt more bad for DH, and the history that took place, than anything else - a ton of stories inevitably came out, after that.

If DH mentioned any stories to his family, they would just pretend to be "shocked" that we remember the slights (no matter how selfish and/or hurtful)  And so it goes, sadly.

The funny part is that DH's family was so inquisitive and presumptive about the dynamics of my family, or my mere existence, none of it accurate. They certainly had a lot to hide.
