A bride has taken to Reddit to vent about her pregnant sister, who is also her maid of honor, after she asked if she could move her wedding date up.
“My sister Ella and I have always been close growing up, despite her being three years older,” she explained on the forum. “We have always been best friends, I was her MOH and she is mine.
“Ella is currently five months pregnant. She had a rough first trimester, throwing up three or four times a day, always tired. Some days, she literally couldn’t get out of bed. She also had early detection when she was a month into it because her symptoms were so bad.”
“I know she’s hormonal, but that’s no excuse for her to act like a whore.”
The OP and her fiance had originally set the date for July. However, seeing how sick she was, they began to worry, so they decided to reschedule the wedding until she was past her first trimester (according to her doctor, she was supposed to get better.)
“I should add that no one asked us to do this, but I felt it was necessary,” noted the bride. “And thank God she got better. She is eating normally, going out and coming back to herself.”
“Seeing this, my fiance and I talked about our wedding again. I had always wanted a summer beach wedding, but I didn’t want to wait a whole year and looking at winter wedding photos was slowly growing on me. And so, we decided on a wedding in December,” she continued.
“The invitations were finalized last week with the date and all sent out a few days ago (yes, it’s early, but we all have large families/a large group of friends and colleagues so we need to RSVPS early). Yesterday , I got an angry phone call from my sister asking me how I could do such a thing to her.”
The woman said she was “genuinely confused” and told her sister as much, but she went on to rant about how inconsiderate she was not to wait until her grandson was born, that being MOH and eight months pregnant would be difficult. and that she has already “been through hell.”
She calmly explained to her sister that while she is the MOH, she doesn’t expect her to go “above and beyond”.
“My best friend and her had already planned a girls night when my wedding was in July, so we’re just going to go ahead with that again (everything is already bought and my best friend will set it up),” she shared she.
“I told her that my husband and I have also booked everything ourselves (flowers, venue and catering will be done by our friends who own their own stores and companies) and that I will pay for her dress to be altered to accommodate her bump. I’m even doing hair and makeup for my entire bridal party, a kind of pampering session where we’ll all be together and take pictures.”
All the sister is asked to do is… show up. But she’s having none of it and is asking him to reschedule it again until next summer.
The bride put her foot down and gave him a flat no, but her parents are urging her to reconsider.
“I know she’s emotional and hormonal, but I told them that’s no excuse for her to act like a whore,” said the OP.
“Any thoughts/advice is greatly appreciated.”
