Dear Queenie,
My sister is much older than I am. We get along alright, but we have never been close.
I am planning to get married and I have asked a close friend to be in the wedding party, but not my sister. She is mad at me and might not even attend the wedding and my parents are upset about it all.
Queenie, should I have asked my sister before my friends?—Wedding Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
It is customary to have siblings in one’s wedding party. If it is not too late, apologise and ask her to stand up with you. Even if she refuses, which she may do, being asked should make her feel better.
