Boo. Going to kill my sister.

My baby sister just informed me that because her application for study abroad next semester was messed up, she is going to have to study abroad Spring 2012. During my wedding!

Now I have to decide between pushing my date way up (financially problematic, would be a winter wedding in Ohio), pushing it way back (FI does not want a summer wedding, so It would be Fall 2012. A 2 year engagement!), or having her fly back from France for the wedding. She would miss all of the wedding prep, something she was actually looking forward to. My dad offered to pay for the tickets for this, but it's still a huge expense.

I know as far as wedding problems go, this is pretty minor, but dammit! Not something I wanted to deal with.

    If your dad is willing to pay her airfare so she can make it to your wedding why would you push the date back until September just so she can be there for the wedding prep?

    This doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. If Dad is paying for airfare, she can be there for the wedding, and that's the important part. You can't plan your wedding around everyone else's lives.

    I don't get the big deal either. If your Dad is willing to make good on his promise to pay for her plane ticket, then everything should be fine. Besides, you should be happy for her. Studying abroad is a once in a lifetime experience. And sh!t happens, that is called life my dear.

    You can't plan your wedding around her life, but she can't plan her life around your wedding either (especially since she can and will be back for your wedding).If she wants to be involved you can plan stuff over the summer.

    Study abroad is a once in a lifetime opportunity, it was some of the best months of my life. Get a webcam and set up Skype, I talked to my family tons while I was abroad and would loved to have discussed wedding stuff if my sister was planning her wedding.

    I killed my sister once. I don't recommend it. They put you in a mental hospital until you turn 18 and then Thanksgiving and Christmas with the family are really awkward.

    W/E. Bitch took my teddy.

    This is what the internet is for. You can email her all kinds of wedding stuff if she's into that. No one needs to move any dates or rearrange study abroad or anything.

    My FI and I moved to Australia from NYC for his work.  We are having the wedding in NYC.  I have been planning everything from a distance , my 3 sisters are fully involved and they are all spread out over the states as well as my other bridesmaids.  Everyone is totally involved and skype is amazing!

    I agree with most of the PPs. And kudos to your dad for helping out.
