However, her mom has been on her case for not choosing a more elaborate and fancy style like she had for her aunt’s wedding.
“I told her I’m not in the wedding, and she said I will still be in the family photos,” she recalled.
“I asked her if she was sure about that, and she said yes. I told her I didn’t need anything super fancy as a regular wedding guest. My mom brought up how unenthusiastic I am about the wedding overall and how I’m the least excited person in the room for all the events.”
Her mom continued to give her grief about wedding details she had no control over. For instance, Amy picked out a color for family members to wear during the wedding but didn’t inform her and excluded her from the idea. Still, her mom is putting pressure on her to find a nice dress in the same color.
The wedding stress and pressure really started to bother her during a recent celebration dinner, where she was introduced to guests as “Amy’s mom’s other daughter” instead of Amy’s sister. Amy’s fiancé told people Lily was Amy’s only sibling, and she felt extremely excluded.
“I wish I had a way to get out of this without upsetting my parents,” she explained.
“I can see it bothers my parents and more [so] my mom, [as] it’s becoming clear I don’t really care, and it’s causing some conflict.”
Should she feel bad for not wanting to go all-out for Amy’s wedding?
