Wedding with a Crazy Sister

Kate8306

Hello all,

I'm currently a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding, and I'm unsure of what to do about another member of the wedding party - the bride's sister, we'll call her "Grace."  Throughout the planning process, Grace has constantly belittled the bride and it's been obvious that she is jealous that she's not the one in the spotlight.  All of the bridesmaids recently worked together to plan a shower for the bride, but when Grace couldn't have her way on every detail, she refused to attend the shower.  As the wedding draws nearer, Grace's behavior continues to get worse and more outrageous.  I really want the bride to have a great wedding, so I feel like I should say something to Grace.  Would I be stepping on the bride's toes to say something to her sister?   I should mention that Grace has had a series of mental health issues, so everyone is walking on egg shells around her for fear of what would happen if she gets upset.  Please help!

Thanks,
Kate

I think everyone so far is right -- there probably isn't much you can do, and saying something to her may make the situation worse.

But I just wanted to say, for what it's worth, it's nice of you to wish you could help. I have a crazy, sometimes horrible sister, and I'm terribly worried she's going to do something like you're describing. There's nothing anyone can do to help, though, other than be a sympathetic ear. So be there for your friend, let her vent or talk about it if she wants to, and you'll be helping that way.

I don't think that saying something to *Grace* would do much to help.  Just try to  help minimize the drama as much as you can for the bride.
