Woman bemused as sister doesn't invite her to wedding even though they're close

A woman is questioning her relationship with one of her half-sisters after she realised that she was not invited to her wedding, despite the fact the two have always got on well and been rather close. The girl took to Reddit to explain that her dad had two daughters from a previous marriage who were now a few years older than her but the two of them have always been kind and friendly to her.

However, things changed some time ago when the oldest of the two half sisters who is in her thirties got married and decided not to invite the young author of the post even though the two have always been good friends.

The nineteen-year-old younger sibling said: "I saw them a lot growing up, and our relationship was pretty good.

"The oldest was especially fond of me, inviting me to her place a lot and doing a lot of fun stuff together like going to the movies."

However, in 2018 the oldest daughter got married and the young author was really excited when she found out from her dad and was discussing what she might wear.

She said: "I know her fiancé and he's really nice, and I was super excited to go dress shopping, since I thought I would be invited.

"I wasn't, because her mom never wanted to see me, she's basically been ignoring my existence ever since I was born. My dad and sisters always took care so that I wouldn't run into her when staying at her place, for example."

The wedding was in Italy and the teen knew she had not been invited when she saw her dad had only booked one ticket for himself to go. However, she was most hurt that her half sister never told her about this and never came to her to talk about it.

She went on by saying that the pair are connected on social media and so it would have been easy to reach out.

"Its been four years, and my dad asked me to maybe talk it out with her. He doesn't want to pressure me to anything, but he says that family is important and that he would like it if we got along," she explained.

"She's also been trying to reach out to me a couple of months ago by asking my dad if he could ask me to have a talk with her (which is why he brought it up in the first place)."

In response, many have been quick to support the author as one said: " I don't understand why it's up to you to reach out to her. Why hasn't she reached out to you? I don't think your dad getting involved in this is a good idea."

While another said: "She hurt you so it should be up to her to reach out and mend things. Also not inviting you is one thing, her wedding her choice, but she should have told you and talked to you about it."
