“My future husband (35 Male) and I (29 Female) are getting married in May.”
“It’s important to note that he and my in-laws are incredibly wealthy and practically throw money around like it’s nothing. They paid for our wedding in full.”
“My sister (34 Female) and I were always close, but once I started dating my fiancé, she started distancing herself from me.”
“When I confronted her about it, she claimed that she felt like I was becoming snobby and rude with my new lifestyle and that it would be best for her mental health if we went low-contact.”
“We haven’t talked that much for the past 3 years because of this, and I respect her choice.”
“Last December at my family reunion, I announced my engagement, and everyone congratulated me except for my sister. I didn’t think much of it but it still hurt a lot.”
“Two months ago, I invited my parents to see the wedding venue and this is when I brought up the idea of making my cat the flower boy.”
“Everyone who was there at the time, including my future husband, in-laws, and parents, all thought it was a great and cute idea.”
“I bought a white dress for him, and we’ve been practicing his walk down the aisle since then.”
“No one else knew about this, but about two weeks ago, my sister called me out of the blue to discuss my wedding with me.”
“This was extremely weird but I thought this was a chance for us to get close again.”
“Once she brought up the flower boy or girl, though, I knew where the conversation was going. She has three kids (8 Female, 6 Male, and 3 Female).”
“She brought up the idea of the oldest being the flower girl.”
“I told her what my plan was and that it was set in stone that my cat would be the flower boy.”
“She sounded shocked and asked me why I didn’t think of my niece.”
“I just told her that she didn’t cross my mind when thinking about it.”
“She went off on this whole tangent about how I was a terrible sister, daughter, and aunt, and then hung up on me.”
“A while later I started getting phone calls from family about how selfish I was being and that I was making a dumb choice.”
“She even made a Facebook post about the phone call. I called her back the next to confront her about it.”
“She said that the money really got to my head if I thought of a ‘stupid cat’ instead of my own niece.”
“I told her that once she had her own wedding, she could make her own daughter the flower girl.”
“This hit a nerve for her as she had children out of wedlock and has been struggling financially for a long time, so a wedding for her is unattainable.”
“I also uninvited her to the wedding.”
“Since then, lots of family members have come to basically shame me for my decision to make my cat the flower boy instead of making my niece the flower girl.”
“They insist that I should reinvite my sister as she’s been depressed ever since I uninvited her.”
“Even my parents called to say that I should’ve just changed my plans or had a small ceremony afterward where my cat was the flower boy but left the main event with my niece as the flower girl.”
“This whole ordeal has really taken a toll on me.”
So, I’m in the middle of a shitstorm and need some advice on if I’m wrong. What should I do?
