Wedding Woes

Future Sister-In-Law issues

Ok, so my younger brother and I are both getting married next year.  I got engaged first, and we are having a seating chart because we have 2 meal options.  Some how, my brothers future wife found out about this, and is pissed because she is not sitting next to my brother.  Here is the thing, My brother "D" is in the wedding party, and I asked him BEFORE I even knew about his at the time girlfriend "L".  She has been a royal pain to me since day one.  I met her in person once (we live about 4 hours apart), and tried to be friendly and get to know her because I thought it was great that D found someone that he loves and wants to get married to.  She wouldn't even talk to me.  To make a long story short, about a year ago, I was talking to her online, and I told her that I missed seeing D all the time, and she got really defensive and said my whole family hates her, and I need to watch boundaries because she is going to be his wife.  And I said I'm not trying to upset you, I was just saying that I missed seeing him all the time like we used to.  And I wish that we could spend some holidays together.  And she actually came back and said to me "spending time with your family is a sacrifice for me spending time with my family"  After that I told her ok, I'm sorry, and I have to go.  Of course a few minutes later D called me and asked me why I have an issue with L.  I said I don't I just said that I missed seeing you. 

Anyway, its been rough on our family because she feels that we all hate her, I tried to ask her why but she didn't have much to say.  That is fine, one day D will realize what is going on and hopefully it won't break apart their relationship, or ours.  I wonder though if it has something to do with how close we all were when the 2 of them met. 

Ok, so back to my wedding, this girl is PISSED!  that she can't sit next to D, what does she expect me to do, change our whole idea of a head table to keep her happy?  Our head table obviously has the wedding party, which again was decided before D and L got engaged, and before our family even found out about L (they are getting married after knowing each other about a year).  and my FI and I had already decided to have a parents table (each table seats 8).  I have a "broken" family so I have 2 sets of parents, and FI's parents are still married, so that has 6 people at that table, on top of that, FI's nephews, who are in the wedding are going to sit at the parents table as their parents are in the wedding party.  so L is mad that one, she doesn't get to sit by D and 2 that she isn't being allowed to sit by my dad and his wife, who are D's parents.  I know this is our day and i shouldn't let a girl who seems to be a spoiled brat attempt to ruin it, but it does bother me that she is acting this way. 

IF she wasn't going to marry my brother, I wouldn't invite her to our wedding, I am very worried that she will cause a scene and ruin our day.  They are getting married before us, and I plan to do nothing but be nice, even though I feel a little left out because I am not in ANY way included in their wedding.  But that is their choice.  I would rather not be involved being how she is acting.  My other 2 brothers are upset that they said yes they would stand up because she is treating them bad as well. 

I don't get it, is she jealous of my FI and I, or the closeness of our family?  but why would she be?  Why would she judge us without knowing us?  What should I do about her at our wedding?  Just have someone "keep an eye out" for her to do anything to try and ruin our day?  I don't plan on doing anything but be nice to her at their wedding, I want to have a good relationship with her...I just don't get it...

    Honestly? I think it's crappy you aren't letting them sit together. But I think a separate table for the bridal party is stupid.

    Yes, I would put her with family rather than letting her fend for herself.  And honestly the head table only stays seated throughout the meal which is about 30 minutes anyway.

    because the tables only seat 8, its not like she won't be sitting with family.  She just won't be sitting with D or my parents.  I don't feel that I should have to change our seating chart because of her, we were told up front, the tables only seat 8 people.

    I agree, and for that reason we didn't do one.  But I've been to weddings where DH was a GM and the dumbass bride/couple seated us separately, and I didn't exactly throw a tantrum.  I did, however, learn a LOT about running a travel agency from one of my fellow guests.

    why can't you just seat her with the rest of the family? she'll be his wife at that point - it's pretty crappy to just shove her at some random table. 

    SIL got married while DH and I were dating. DH was in the wedding party and sat at the head table. I sat with his parents and some of their family members. I would have been annoyed if she had seated me with a group of random people (mutants at table 9) - and royally pissed if I was MARRIED to her brother that that point. 

    Whether you like this girl or not, she'll be your SIL, and for the sake of your family, treating her like sh*t isn't really an option.

    Wow,  I see why she finds you so endearing.  I can't imagine why she doesn't want to spend any time getting to know you. 

    Anyway, for the sake of family harmony and to make your FSIL feel welcome, there is no way you can wheedle your site into having one single table as a 9 top?  It's really going to throw everything off that much?  Is your site really that militant?  I cannot believe, if they regularly do weddings or events, that something like this has never come up. 

    OTOH, you could always put your brother on the end of the head table and add a chair for her.  Again, it's ONE person and if it's going to make her happy and get her out of your hair, why are you not willing to bend?
  • edited December 2011

    If they are in the wedding party, yes!  We already agreed to a head table!  I have been to many weddings where ONE person in the couple is in the wedding party and the other one isn't, and they don't complain that aren't sitting next to their spouse who is in the wedding party.  Like I said, its not like she will be sitting off in the corner, she will be sitting with my cousin's and aunt and uncle.  She has met our whole family, I don't see the big deal, she knew from the start of our wedding talk that we are having a head table, my other brother and his wife arn't bitching about not sitting together!

    Why do you want to give this chick so much control over your day? Sit her at the table at the end, and enjoy your reception.

    You need to learn the art of being in the same room with someone you can't stand, and they never know it. It is an art, you know.

    Well, your SIL's are obviously not cut from the same cloth.  

    Either you make accomodations or you don't for your FSIL.  But either way, I don't think it's going to make her like you.  You're just going to have to suck it up and try to be cordial with her as your brother is choosing to marry her.

    You're making it obvious you're going out of your way to be schitty to her and using your "big daaaay" as the cover up.

    Seat her where you wish.  After all it is your big daaay, but when the wedding is over, you'll look like a bitch.  See how often you see your beloved brother after that.

    Put yourself in her shoes, if you can, for five minutes and see it from her perspective. Try to pull yourself out of the fact that this is your wedding, because to everyone else it's one day and it's a party, and you're telling her she can't sit with people she knows very well.

    But then again you're right we're wrong and you didn't want advice, you wanted to bitch about your FSIL.

    Your FSIL isn't close with your family, (she thinks they hate her, right?) and you want her to sit not with her new husband, but with a cousin's aunt and uncle? It's one of the first "family events" she's going to be included in and you are going out of your way to make sure she knows she doesn't belong. Splitting them up is rude.

    How does your brother feel about this?

    This is how I look at it.

    I hate drama, stress, and confusion. If letting the chick sit at the head table will decrease the following, then I'm all for it. It's more about me, and doesn't have to do much with her.

    Is this really that big of a deal? Don't invite her if you hate her that much.

    I HAVE been in her shoes, and I DIDN'T bitch about being seated with family members other then my FI's Parents.  See I have social skills, and I talk to people regardless of knowing them or not.  What do you do when you go to school, or a party where you don't know people, you talk to them, so you CAN get to know them.  At our wedding, SHE KNOWS ALMOST EVERYONE!!!!  No she won't be seated with my friends, because she doesn't know them, no she won't be seated with my mom's family because she doesn't know them, no she won't be seated with FI's family because AGAIN, she doesn't know them.  She DOES know my cousin's ect, so for 30 minutes to an hour she CAN'T sit with them?!  As for her sitting with our parents, she doesn't Like D's mom, so why would I sit the 2 of them together?!  She doesn't like my step-mother and the man who she chose to marry's mother, so I will NOT sit them together!

    [QUOTE]I HAVE been in her shoes, and I DIDN'T bitch about being seated with family members other then my FI's Parents.  See I have social skills, and I talk to people regardless of knowing them or not.  What do you do when you go to school, or a party where you don't know people, you talk to them, so you CAN get to know them.  At our wedding, SHE KNOWS ALMOST EVERYONE!!!!  No she won't be seated with my friends, because she doesn't know them, no she won't be seated with my mom's family because she doesn't know them, no she won't be seated with FI's family because AGAIN, she doesn't know them.  She DOES know my cousin's ect, so for 30 minutes to an hour she CAN'T sit with them?!  As for her sitting with our parents, she doesn't Like D's mom, so why would I sit the 2 of them together?!  She doesn't like my step-mother and the man who she chose to marry's mother, so I will NOT sit them together!

    <div>Just because she knows everyone doesn't mean she is comfortable sitting with them. You already said she isn't comfortable with your family. You can either have it your way and risk further alienating your beloved brother, or suck it up and let her sit with her new husband. </div>

    "spending time with your family is a sacrifice for me spending time with my family" 

    You do know this is a true statement right?  It sounds like your one meeting wasn't that great and you hold it against her.  The fact that you are not willing to ATTEMPT to make some concessions in TEN months makes it sound like you are the snotty one.  She is going to be a part of your family. 

    And I agree that head tables suck.
