3. Last Moments With Dad
My sister had 10 bridesmaids, most of whom were her sorority sisters from college. They wanted to plan an elaborate summer weekend, while most were still in school without jobs. When I asked “Hey, who will pay for this?” my sister got pissed that I even asked.
When I also reminded all the bridesmaids that our father who had stage 4 cancer wasn’t doing so well and that maybe the bachelorette/bridal shower should be close by, they all flipped thinking I was being insensitive to the bride.
I was promptly asked not to be a bridesmaid at my own sister’s wedding over these two things. I was fine with this as she was a bridezilla and I spent time with our dying father. He died 2 weeks after her wedding day, and he couldn’t attend because he was in hospice care one day before her wedding.
To me, she put herself before our ailing father, and it still makes me mad.
