This morning I woke up to a bunch of texts from my sister who lives fourteen hours away. She’s been pregnant for a little less than 5 months. She was supposed to be the maid of honor at my wedding, but she delivered the news that the doctor told her she had a miscarriage.
I can only imagine the grief my sister is going through. She can’t attend my wedding and even though everything is already booked and we had some guests flying in for the wedding, I just can’t have it without her. I thought my fiance would understand, but instead, he got extremely upset. We’ve been planning this date for a while now because it’s his mother’s birthday and very special to him. But, it would make my sister devastated if I had it without her since I know she was looking forward to it.
She said she just wasn’t ready to celebrate anything at the moment, and as her sister, she feels like it’s my responsibility to comfort her. It’s early in the morning where I live and we’re prepared for the wedding tomorrow but I can’t stomach having my special day without my sister.
I told my fiance and after I finish writing this I’m going to start packing. I need to be with my sister right now. I know everything has already been planned out and I’m ruining a lot by doing this, but I have to put family first. My fiance is definitely mad and called me an a-hole because of it.
So I was wondering, Am I A Jerk for canceling my wedding last minute to be with my grieving sister?
