His sister loves weddings, and he noticed that she was somewhat living vicariously through him and his partner and planning the kind of wedding she would’ve loved to have had with her fiancé.
Then, a week ago, his sister had an idea that was a bit out of left field. She said she thought it would be nice if she wore the wedding dress she was supposed to wear at her wedding to her late fiancé.
His mom was into the idea, telling him it would make his sister very happy and that since he was marrying a man, there wouldn’t be anyone else in a wedding dress, so she wouldn’t be upstaging a bride.
“I think she would stand out a lot if she wore that,” he admitted.
“My sister will be like my maid of honor or ‘best woman,’ and the plan was for her dress to match my fiancé’s best man’s [suit].”
He’s been trying to figure out other ways he can honor his sister‘s fiancé, like by saving a seat for him and making it into a little memorial. He also told his sister she could have a few moments for herself at his wedding, like a father-daughter dance, since she never got to have one at her own wedding.
He knows that his sister would understand if he told her she wasn’t allowed to wear her wedding dress, but he feels guilty and isn’t sure how to bring it to her.
“I feel bad for being bothered by it because a wedding isn’t nearly as important to me as it is to her,” he added.
When he told his mom he was conflicted, she accused him of being jealous of his sister and attention-hungry.
Should he let his sister wear her wedding dress, or would it be okay to tell her no?
