This past year, I was MOH at my sister's wedding. My fiance and I got engaged months before they did and waited so we can save money for our wedding. I agreed to be my sister's MOH because well, I am her sister and I believe in being there for family. Thinking she would understand the unique circumstance of both of us getting married soon - I would have thought she would go easy on the expenses.
Initially, she picked out a dress which I bought... a few months later she changed her mind of the color... and so I spent 10X's more (too late to return the first dress and it's not selling on Ebay). They asked my fiance to be part of the party. My fiance has a limited budget as he finishes school, so I paid for the tux. Her Jack and Jill came.... I pulled some strings with the venue owners so she got it cheap, I also brought my friends thinking it would help her party even better. My friends even bought tickets for her raffles and paid to get into the party ($20 each) which I thought was really nice of them. I bought them a nice basket for their honeymoon, because I love giving gifts (it probably was unnecessary but she's family!).
During all of this, my sister said she was going to help me out with my DJ or whatever I needed. Thinking she totally understood that I went into my wedding fund for her wedding.
I knew something was up once after her wedding, she did not get her bridal party a thank you gift , grooms party didn't even get a thank you.... and stayed distant about my wedding plans.
Few months ago she approached me about helping out with the DJ.. but then soon enough I get a call explaining that she 'over extended herself' and now she can't... come to find out, she over extended herself with shopping sprees to the mall and coach bags etc....
I never asked her for anything... I just figured that with all of the support I gave her... it would have been nice to have a sister at this time.. like I was there for her.
I guess I was ultimatly the idiot for agreeing to be the MOH right?... but, my family expected it, despite knowing my situation. I just didn't want a family feud either!
Lately I just feel that we should have just kept the ceremony in HI and send out cards to announce our marriage, instead of having a reception back here.
Has anyone had such crazy drama?
