Can't deal...

Can't deal...

months ago I posted a dilemma about choosing my MOH. I have one sister... but we aren't close and that kills me! Instead I am choosing between two friends... which I have pretty much decided I am going to have a Maid and a Matron of Honor.

Well, my lovely sister emailed me her response to my engagement party. She will not be attending due to the cost in air fare (she lives in Orlando FL). I looked up the flights...it is less than $200. round trip. Plus, she has money. I guess I kinda expected it but I am still SOO upset. I can't stop crying. FH feels so bad...he doesn't know what to do and is at his house...not here! ugghhhh why am I always disappointed by her?!

Ohh did I mention her wedding last April was in Vegas--- talk about expenses!!!

I'm sorry, it stinks when family isn't there to support you for these things.

I'm sorry. That's such a shame that she isn't going to be there. It's her loss, but I understand why you are so upset. You would think out of everyone your family would be there for you. Hang in there!

That's awful! I couldn't imagine doing that to my own sister. I'm so sorry. At least you have two really good friends to stand by your side.

im sorry, this is so something my sister would do as well, shes not my MOH either because we just dont get along, the best thing i can tell you is to set yourself up for disappointment it'll be easier then wishful thinking

That is disappointing....I am so sorry. I remember your story and was hoping your sister would change her attitude with you. Unfortunatly after all this she is still your sister and I would be just as upset as you are if my sister did the same to me. Keep your chin up and be grateful for the family and friends that you have that are supportive of you and your FH. Again so sorry!

oh man, I am so sorry... can you call her and talk to her about it. I mean what if she came alone to cut the expenses in half. Even though I am sure you would love your BIL there too. Just so it is like you feel your sister is 'there' for you, even if you arn't very close

Re: Can't deal...

I´m so sorry to hear this.

Although there are other issues involved, my sister emailed me, my other sister (moh) and parents to let us know that she wasn´t coming to the wedding!! In her case I see her side as well but it still sux!! I can only imagine that you must feel worse because she doesn´t even have a good excuse!!

Re: Can't deal...

Thanks ladies...I am having a better day today. I am still upset but I am dealing I guess.
I never thought my BIL would come up he works at a golf shop and weekends are busy but I really did think my sister would make it. I should prepare myself to be disappointed by her at this point but somehow no matter how prepared I think I am...I still get hurt.
My dad just told me that she questioned him about my bridal party. I really can't believe her sometimes!
