A woman has come close to uninviting her brother and sister-in-law from her wedding following an argument over a dress which her niece was set to wear. The woman took to Reddit to explain that she is getting married early next year and has asked her brother to walk her down the aisle and his daughter to be flower girl at the big day.
She said: "In January of this year I asked my brother 42(M) about having his wife (my sister-in-law) to be my bridesmaid and their daughter my niece to be my flower girl."
She then went to her brother to ask if he could walk her down the aisle with their dad as they are a close family and he accepted.
However, things changed in recent days as the bride to be has realised her sister-in-law will not reach out to her with questions and will instead ask her mother.
She said: "Fast forward to this past Wednesday she calls my mom late at night with some questions on my niece’s dress for flower girl and asked my mom to tell me to call her.
"It was not a simple decision and I needed to think it over and honestly later forgot to give her a call back."
Things got heated again when the sister-in-law called again to ask about the dress but did not get the speedy reply she was after and so decided to pull out of the wedding party.
"Yesterday my mom [sic] gets a call from sister-in-law saying she doesn’t know what to do about my niece’s dress so they were probably all going to drop from the party," explained the author.
The bride to be soon apologised and said she just needed a bit of time to sort out any issues with the dress so did not want them pulling out of the party.
She explained: "She and my brother both didn’t have an answer but kept making excuses to which I told them that at the moment their invitation in general is pending mainly for the sake of my niece and them being family so not wanting to make sudden decisions."
The bride's family say she should uninvite them completely and ask for them to give back the jewellery she had lent her niece.
Many have been quick to support the soon-to-be bride with one saying: "You gave them over a YEAR'S notice and when they ask you a question indirectly through someone else literally 9 months after agreeing to going... after 4 days with no reply they drop out of major roles?"
While another said: "I would personally still let them come to wedding but say since they aren’t in the wedding party anymore they need to return the money for the wedding party outfits"
