to answer a few questions,
1) i purchased my sisters dress for her as a gift because she cant afford it
2) jose's family lives in MX city, which is all the way on the other side of mexico from where we are getting married, so its not like its not just as far for them to travel as from family of mine from chicago. the plane tickets from each place to cabo run about the same plus or minus $100.
3) i understand that the fact that my sister will be 22 in june means that i should get that shes immature and doesnt have her shit together, but COME ON. my grandma volunteered to pay for the fucking plane ticket and my sister wont ask for it.
4) kicking her out completely will raise all kinds of hell with my mom's unsupportive family -do you see a theme here? all they do is complain. so i think what im going to do is make a card for my best friend and upgrade her to MOH, because lets be honest shes done all the MOH duties so far anyway. and then if my sister shows up to the wedding, i will downgrade her to a BM on the day of to minimize the drama, but without telling her shes been downgraded. the bridesmaids dont always stand up at the altar anyway in a traditional mexican catholic wedding, so i can have them seated and in the programs, put my friends name as MOH.
thanks for letting me vent guys. i am just so sick of my sister taking advantage of me at every opportunity, and i am always a sucker feeling bad for her and let her use me. shes done NOTHING to help me with the wedding, and i am so sick of it. shes too selfish to even think of offering to do things.
you know whats best so go with your heart. also, your sister will realize the importance of this one day, and sad to say, she will regret that she didnt take it serisouly and she'll see what she missed out on ( i dont want her to feel that way, but she prob will realize it when her time comes to get married
