Groom`s Sister
I was wondering what the rules are on having my fiance`s sister in the wedding? We are having around 6 people. He only has 1 sister but 2 brothers who are in the wedding. My fiance really want to have her but I`m not sure if I really want to.
Thanks

You can have anyone you want in the wedding stand on your side. There is no "rule" about who you can or cant.
Why would you not want her to be in ? has she never been nice to you ?? if your just looking for a little job in the wedding just to make your "soon to be husband" happy try making her the one help with serving , like cutting the cake-if shes older, if shes in her teens or younger maybe a flower girl.....
Im getting married in april (next month) and i know how it is getting your attentents together...thats why we only have maid of honor and a best man.. So there would be NO fights about "she got to be in the wedding why didnt i" crap.
I chose my only sister and he chose his best friend since elem.school
I hope i could of help in someway..=)
Good luck and congrats!!!!!!!!

It`s funny that you posted this message because my boyfriend and I just had this conversation last night. He asked his sister`s husband to be a groomsman and felt that I should have asked his sister - my response to that was just this. This is going to be MY day and I was going to do it the way that I wanted and I was going to have the women that I felt close to be next to me. I told him I didn`t ask him nor would I expect him to choose someone just because I wanted him to. Be comfortable with your decision and ask her ONLY if you want her to be there with you.

Make sure you`re Comfortable with the people that are included in your wedding Party. You want people there that are Happy for you & that aren`t going to give you problems or Stress About the Small Things. I had this problem with one of my Fiancee`s twin sisters & I just explained to her that if she agreed to be in the wedding I would not Argue with her. It all started when I told her how much the Bridesmaids dresses were 6 months in ADVANCE & she was argiung about being Broke. SO i explained that I will not allow myself to be stressed & reminded her I COULD replace her in the wedding.
Hope This Helps
