Anyone whose sibling didn’t come to the wedding?
My brother’s relationship with my parents is a bit strained at the moment, and I’m basically mentally preparing myself that he’s not coming to my wedding celebrations which is in 2 weeks and 2 months (doing 2 celebrations - 1 for extended family and 1 for close family and friends). We had discussed maybe as recent as January, and he was excited and coming, but in the recent weeks he’s avoided every single question I’ve asked about the wedding.
He’s always had a strained relationship with my parents, sometimes he’s able to put it aside and sometimes he cannot. I’ve done my best to support him while understanding our experiences with our parents could be different. I don’t want to force him into a situation he does not want to be in, but I just wish he talked to me about it or at least give me a heads up. I hate that every wedding planning question is now a “well what if he doesn’t come”
I’ve already cried enough tears about it. I just want to hear similar stories and whether or not it changed your relationship with your sibling.
