Brother's wife's sister getting married, do I have to go?
My sister-in-law's (brother's wife)sister is getting married. Due to highly dysfunctional relationships in the wedding party (bride and groom's families), my mother has been coerced into assisting with the shower and I have been commanded to attend the shower. I don't know the sister too well, and I have heard nothing but negative things about the groom. I do not feel any obligation to attend the wedding (I have been told I will be invited -- I believe I have been invited for "show" purposes, to beef out the bride's side of the aisle). It's bad enough that I am being forced to attend the shower (events that I,as a rule, dislike and dread even for people I like), but do I also have to attend the wedding?

You don't need to attend either event and your mother should have nothing to do with planning the shower. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (Doesn't totally get me off the hook, but I can feel better about not wanting to go.)

You're welcome. These people aren't really your family and, as you say, you aren't close so you're not obligated to attend either of these events. Of course, you can always come down with a terrible cold the day before the shower and you know how those work related trips are always popping up when you have something important planned, right?
