Sister saga update

First, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone here.  I absolutely appreciate that I can come here and share with you a personal struggle and get the amazing and HONEST responses that I received last week.It was ultimately Jen's response that said "you also need to be able to answer the questions of why all of your sisters (except one) are in the family photos of your wedding day. Would you rather say "She wasn't invited." or would you rather say "She chose not to come" that made my decision.As much as I do NOT want her there, I will send her an invitation.....late.  My invites go out Aug 1 and I'll probably wait to send hers around the 15th or later.  The ONLY reason she's getting one is because I DO want to be able to say "She chose not to come" when my children ask me later why she's not in the pictures.Thank you all.  I appreciate all your honesty and I know your hearts were in your words.:-)

    I know it was a hard decision for you, but I think you made the right one.  You won't regret your decision.  I guess only time will tell if you sister's regrets whatever decision she makes to come or not.  Kudos to you for being the better person!  :)

    Oh good, I'm not the only one who flashes forward 10 years and conjures hypothetical situations to help make decisions in the present. And I thought I was the only nut-job who did that ;-) Definitely keep us posted, especially regarding her RSVP!

    Even though I suggested you not invite her, I also think you're reasoning made the right decision. We'll just hope she doesn't come right? :)
