A 29-year-old woman has a sister-in-law that’s 27-years-old, and they are so close that she feels like they are more like sisters than anything else.
Not only are they close in age, but they also have the exact same pastimes and interests. They also like the same kind of makeup and clothing, so it’s easy to see why they get along so well.
The problem with her sister-in-law is that her family is extremely terrible. She only has to spend time with them around the important family events, and aside from that, she pays them no mind.
Her sister-in-law’s family basically hates her because she married a woman, and the whole family acts like she is beneath them because of it.
Anyway, her sister-in-law is now getting married and asked to borrow her wedding dress to wear on her special day.
She wasted no time saying yes to her sister-in-law, and it really did mean a lot that her sister-in-law loved her dress so much.
“I sent the dress to her and received the invitation to hers and my brother’s wedding,” she said.
“I noticed my wife’s name wasn’t on the invitation. I called my sister-in-law to ask and she tells me her parents were giving her hell for inviting me and my wife because they don’t like us for ‘obvious’ reasons and after a lot of fighting they agreed that I come alone since I’m the groom’s sister but not bring my wife.”
Her sister-in-law offered an apology to her and maintained that her parents are the ones who are funding her wedding, so she has to play by their rules on the guest list.

Well, she told her sister-in-law that she could not make it to the wedding if her wife was not invited as well.
This caused a huge problem with her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law actually took back the invitation to the wedding.
She was no longer invited, and her sister-in-law mentioned she didn’t want any issues on the day of her wedding.
“I said fine no hard feelings and asked my brother to send my dress back to my place,” she continued.
Her brother completely understood where she was coming from, and he felt she was justified in getting her wedding dress back after being uninvited.
Her sister-in-law couldn’t believe that she took back her wedding dress, and sobbed to her that she wanted to wear it.
Her sister-in-law tried to lay out the fact that she had no money and her parents refused to pay for a wedding dress, so that dress was her only option.
She wouldn’t agree to giving her wedding dress to her sister-in-law to wear again, even after her parents asked her to.
“My parents got involved telling me to let her have it and reminded me of how strong our bond is but I said it clearly wasn’t as strong as I thought it was because she let her parents exclude me and my wife from the wedding,” she explained.
She is not angry with her sister-in-law over all this drama, but she simply doesn’t want her to wear her wedding dress now, for good reason.
