“Clash might arise when two people uphold their boundaries. In today’s tale, I stood my ground against my stubborn sister. I had a good reason: I was getting married.
My fiancé and I are tying the knot in October this year, and we couldn’t be happier. We got engaged in January and planned a small wedding with only close friends and family.
The problem is my sister Lisa. Lisa and her husband have a 2-year-old kid. I won’t get into all the reasons why Lisa and I aren’t very close. We sent out the wedding invitations last month.
We asked everyone to arrive by 1:00 p.m. since the wedding starts at 1:30 p.m. The venue is convenient for most guests, including Lisa, as it’s near our hometown.
Lisa said the wedding time didn’t work because of her two-year-old’s nap schedule. She told me he gets grumpy if he misses his noon nap. I suggested she find a babysitter, but she said she couldn’t because everyone she trusts will be at the wedding.
When I proposed they come just for the reception, she refused. I told her we couldn’t change the time, despite her insistence. And then Lisa said she wasn’t coming. I was hurt.
A few days later, she asked again if we could change the time. I told her it wasn’t possible. She got mad and called me a bridezilla.
“She’s being unreasonable,” I vented to my best friend, who just shook her head.
“You’re not a bridezilla for wanting your wedding at a certain time,” my friend assured me.
Online, others had my back too. One user wrote, “Your sister’s being unreasonable. It’s your wedding day. She needs to adjust.”
Another commented, “A 2-year-old can adjust his nap schedule for one day. Lisa needs to get over herself.”
What do you think? Should I have changed my wedding time for my sister, or was I right to stand my ground? How would you handle this situation if you were in my shoes? Let me know in the comments!
