I am kind of upset because my son is getting married in June and they have not asked either of his sisters to be in the wedding. The Bride has asked her best friend and her sister(who she has issues with) but not the grooms. They did finally ask the grooms older sister to be their photographer beause that is her hobby. But nothing has been asked of the 14 year old who is missing her brother (groom) because he just moved from home again and this time seems to be for good.
What should be done in a case like this? Both Bride and Groom know how I feel.
Unfortunately, this is an issue that comes up frequently. The bridal couple selects their attendants based on who they really want to be there for them. It's always nice when siblings are included but not mandatory. You can do a search of sisters in the bridal party to see other suggestions that have been made.

It is probably best to let them plan the wedding they want to plan. They should choose their attendants based on their relationship with that person. And, siblings are not always included.
And, I completely agree that it is best to read what others have done and our many posts on this issue.
To begin your relationship with your soon to be daughter in law with conflict is not the best for the long term.
They have done nothing wrong or out of the ordinary. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
