“Even if I liked Lauren more, I still wouldn’t want her involved with my wedding,” she said.
“Dress shopping feels like a very personal thing to me, and I had planned to do it with my future sister-in-law, who I like and trust. In fact, I don’t want Lauren at my wedding at all.”
Lauren wasn’t one of her mom’s closest friends, so she doesn’t think it would make sense for her to be at the wedding.
She wants it to be a small and intimate event, with only close friends and family attending. Plus, if Lauren went to her wedding, she’d be scared to have someone so judgmental around her on her special day.
Now, she’s in the uncomfortable position of having to let Lauren down gently to avoid further drama. Ideally, she’d like to politely tell Lauren she won’t be dress shopping with her and has already made her wedding arrangements and not invite her. However, her dad feels differently about the situation.
“My dad, whilst supportive of me overall, thinks it would be too harsh of me not to find at least some way to include her,” she added.
“He pointed out that Lauren suffered a bereavement in her own family recently, so [she] is in a bad place. He added that while we don’t know for sure if she’s telling the truth about my mom’s ‘wish,’ if it is true, it would be good to honor it.”
How should she approach the situation with Lauren?
