Hi! I am not sure if this is the right place for this. My husband and I plan to renew our vows next year. We are bringing our close friends and family to an island for the week. My sister decided to get married while we are there. I am happy about that but I have a problem with the guests she is inviting. She wishes to invite our aunts and uncles to her wedding. How do I handle that since I have not invited them to our renewal. Also that leaves my husbands side of the family not included. We are paying for our guests including my sister and can not afford to invite anyone else. How do I go about not insulting my family? Confused?

Dear Confused,
I'm confused as well. It isn't polite to change someone's plans that one is invited to attend and invite others. I'm sorry, but your sister shouldn't have done this. If she wanted to get married there while on the island, that is one thing. But, to invite guests to her wedding when it is your event that she was invited to attend, that is not proper or considerate.
So, none of this is anything that you did or can do anything about besides speaking with her about it. Perhaps you could ask her to contact us.
If there are to be two different guest lists, the events should be separate and on different trips.
