     Young sister in law to be wants to be involved  

I am having an issue, my wedding is less that 2 months away and it seems that my sister in law to be would like to be a part of the wedding. If it was under different circumstances having her as a brides maid would be fine except that she is only 14 but acts like she is 10 (she still throws temper tantrums). Because of this I would not feel comfortable taking her to the hair and makeup appointment with the other brides maids before the wedding, it's my wedding day I don't want to be baby sitting. It would be mean not to bring her with us, So that eliminates her being a brides maid.

She is too old to be a flower girl and my fiance and I think that making her sit at the guest book table is alienating and our wedding isn't formal enough to require ushers. The flower girl is my 4 year old sister. I'm sorry I am being difficult.

I need to come up with another job for her, HELP!

I'm not getting the impression that she's mature enough to participate at all, but only you and your fiance can detemine that. If the two of you think she can handle it she could perform a reading. Otherwise, leave it alone. Not everyone has not be asked to be a part of the wedding. Maybe this will act as a wakeup call to her, and her parents. Whatever you decide, ask your fiance to handle his sister and his parents. You wont want to come off as the bad guy.
