28-year-old newly-wed little sister refuses to be her older sister's maid of honor because the older sister skipped the younger sister's wedding last year due to her dog: 'I feel my role in her life was optional'

Dogs are like family to us. We say that over and over, and we really do mean it. They make everything better. Dogs bring us joy with their constant little shenanigans, dogs worry us just like any other family member if they get sick, and when dogs pass… it is a huge loss, an undeniable loss, a loss that we can't even think of most of the time. The day it happens to us, and we hope it'll take at least a million more years, we know that we are going to be devastated. We know that we will take time off, we know that we will mourn however we have to.

But what if that happened two days before our sister's wedding? A wedding in which we are the maid of honor? The biggest day in our sister's life? We don't know. We're not sure how we would react to it, and we hope it never happens to us, because the fallout of this happening to these two sisters is something that we hope we will never have to experience with ours.

This is a tough situation, and honestly, we don't know what we would have done. If one of our pets passed like that two days before such an important day, we don't know how we would have reacted. We can understand the dog owner's reaction. But we can understand her sister's reaction too.

We agree that this has to do with motive, and whatever the little sister says… refusing does seem to be coming from a bad place. She says herself that she has not forgiven her older sister, and this is why she's refusing to be the maid of honor. But really, it might still be the right decision. The only thing worse than refusing to be the maid of honor is agreeing and then being a bad one.
