She Missed Her Sister’s Impromptu Engagement Party To Go To A Concert, And Her Sister Was Super Offended
This woman’s sister, named Anna, recently got engaged. But unfortunately, she wasn’t able to be there for a big milestone event – her sister’s engagement party.
Apparently, right after getting engaged, her sister decided to throw together an impromptu engagement celebration. At first, she obviously planned to attend, too.
Well, that was until she found out the date of the engagement party – which was on the very same night she had concert tickets and was looking forward to for months.
“I’ve been waiting to see this band for a long time, but the tickets were pricey and non-refundable,” she said.
So, she tried talking to her sister about why she had to miss the engagement party and promised that they’d celebrate together on a different date – even if she wasn’t attending the official celebration.
In the beginning, she thought her sister understood the whole situation, too. Yet, later on, she realized her sister was actually really upset.
“She texted me to express how offended she was that I had given a concert priority over her particular day,” she recalled.
Ever since she declined to attend the engagement party, her sister has not been very nice to her, either.
Of course, their parents have also heard about what happened and wound up taking her sister’s side.

“Our parents support her, believing that I ought to have supported her,” she vented.
After confiding in some friends, she realized that they all had mixed opinions, too. Some believed that she made an understandable decision by trying to save her non-refundable concert tickets.
Meanwhile, others believe that she really should have just taken the concert ticket loss and attended the celebration for her sister’s sake.
So now, she really isn’t sure if missing her sister’s last-minute engagement party to go to a concert was reasonable or the wrong decision.
Was it her fault that her sister decided to plan an engagement party at the last minute? Should she have sacrificed the concert tickets to support her sister or not? What would you have done in her shoes?
