This thirty-three-year-old woman has been dating her boyfriend, who is thirty-five, for over ten years now. They even have two kids together– twins– who are eight years old.
She also has an older sister named Nina, who is thirty-eight and has two kids– who are sixteen and five– from a previous relationship. But, in two weeks, Nina will be getting married to her fiancé, Dan.
Anyway, she was supposed to be the maid of honor at Nina’s wedding. She even just had her last dress fitting about a week ago– because apparently, her sister is very particular about all of the wedding details and had special plans in mind for the maid of honor dress.
In fact, the dress took about three months to be custom-made and was unique from the other bridesmaid dresses.
“The maid of honor dress and bridesmaid dresses are slightly different. The maid of honor dress looks more upgraded to the bridesmaid dresses and is closer in style to the bride dress,” she explained.
And because of that, her sister claimed that she could not imagine anyone else ever wearing the maid of honor dress because it was that special.
Well, just last week, everything apparently changed out of nowhere. She actually learned that her boyfriend and twins were no longer invited to her sister’s wedding since Nina had canceled both of their wedding invitations.
To clarify: the wedding was never child-free, either. In fact, Nina’s own children were going to be there, as well as her other nieces and nephews.
So, she was honestly just dumbfounded and asked Nina why her boyfriend or kids were no longer allowed to attend. And frankly, she never saw Nina’s response coming.

Apparently, her sister claimed to feel uncomfortable with her boyfriend being at the wedding since they are still not married.
On top of that, Nina said that since her twins were born out of wedlock, they could not go to the wedding, either.
And obviously, she was furious at her sister. She also took that opportunity to remind Nina that she also has two children who were born outside of marriage.
Plus, Nina is even pregnant right now with a third baby– who was conceived before marriage!
Regardless, though, Nina just did not see her blatant double standard.
“Nine actually said she ‘understood her sins and is working to redeem them,’ but that her word is final,” she revealed.
And Nina’s new rule did not even just affect her. Instead, a few other bridesmaids were also told that their boyfriends could not attend the wedding anymore, either.
So, she and the other bridesmaids ended up actually pulling out of the wedding altogether. They have since told Nina that they refused to attend unless their boyfriends and kids were allowed to go, too.
“I have also said I will not be giving my maid of honor dress back either since I have fully paid for it and for all the fittings,” she recalled.
And if you could not have guessed, Nina was seriously pissed. First, Nina accused her of being a total jerk.
Then, Nina went to their parents and told them to do something about her decision– because, apparently, her sister would not be able to get another maid of honor in time.
Honestly, though, she thinks that Nina is being ridiculous– especially by issuing a rule so close to the ceremony.
But, at the same time, she has been forced to wonder if refusing to attend her sister’s wedding due to the rules is the wrong decision.
Why do you think her sister decided to make this new rule and uninvite her boyfriend and kids so soon before the wedding? If your sister did the same thing to you, would you still attend and be the maid of honor? How do you suggest she handle this situation?
