My sister isn't going???

[finzup]

maybe your sister can come out by herself w/o her husband? she could bring a friend or something?

talk to them both. make it clear how important it is foruour sister to be there.if your BIL has such a hard time understanding this then therein lies other issues. he should not be so immature about this. good luck.

i absolutely agree with YOURSTRULY... your sister will always be your sister and you only get married once (hopefully) .. and I think taking time out to talk to her one on one about the fact that it WILL break your heart if she's not there for your special day! I understand if she was crying but that was her own bringing on because they are choosing not to come, so it was nice of you to appologize but you definitely didnt have to... I guess if it were me and i had said i was paying id be offended when they would cancell.. its like saying thanks but we just dont want to come...

I hope things work out for you and your sister at least will be able to be there for you. They don't know how lucky they are that it was all paid for them.

 

I have 2 sisters and 1 definately can't go because of the cost. The other will defo be there if she can and is waiting to see if the cost comes down. My brother got laid off work 2 months ago so it is also unlikey that he will be able to attend either and I fully understand this.

 

If we had the money to get them all there we would, but unfortunately we don't.

 

I really do hope things work out for you cos your sister would not have been crying if she really did not want to be there for you.

I feel so sad for you, especially with the wedding so close! I had a few people cancel at the last minute, and one of them was my very best friend whom I've known my whole life. I wish there was more I could've done, but you know you've done everything to get her there, which is amazing!

No matter if she's there or not, don't let it spoil your day!

That sucks! I agree with the other posters though, maybe sit down alone with your sister face to face to try to figure out what's going on.
