Choosing a wedding date can be a bit of a complicated matter. If you're planning a small courthouse wedding in your home town, all you really have to worry about is that it won't coincide with any major holidays or birthdays. If your family is spread all around the continent or globe, or you are hoping to have a destination wedding, there are way more variables to take into consideration. 
Something most people don't typically have to take into account is whether or not their sister will happen to be pregnant as a wedding guest. However, in our story today, a woman demands that her sister completely change the date of her already-booked wedding due to the vague possibility of her being with child at the time. You'd think everyone would find this notion completely ridiculous, but her golden child privileges earn her the whole family's support.

    AITA for refusing to reschedule my wedding because my sister "might" be pregnant then?

    1 (28F) am getting married next March. We've already booked the venue, vendors, and sent save-the-dates. Everything's been going smoothly until my sister (32F) dropped a bomb.

    I thought she was joking. She's not even pregnant yet. She hasn't even confirmed ovulation yet, by her own words. But she

    Now my mom is calling me selfish and saying, "Family comes first." My fiancé is furious and says if she doesn't come, that's on her.

    Chilling_Storm If family does indeed come first then tell your sister and your mom that your sister should put off getting pregnant for at least a year.

    You are not overreacting your family is being incredibly insensitive and ride. Go forth with your wedding plans as you have them and enjoy your day. And if your sister is pregnant, she can make that decision.

  • It is a lot easier for sis to change the dates wherein she could potentially be pregnant than it is for our protagonist to completely rearrange plans that have been set for a year.

    Over_Peak823 Exactly. If "family comes first," why doesn't she postpone trying? OP's wedding shouldn't impede with her pregnancy anyway even if she does get pregnant. Strange that this is even a problem.

    neworderfan I wouldn't engage further on a what-if scenario. Place your family on an information diet because they'll just nit-pick for the next year. NTA.

    currently pregnant and just plain asinine without being pregnant. Just tell her to put family first and make it if she can. The end. You do not rearrange plans for hypothetical unlikely situations.

    FullBlownPanic Right? What happens if they did actually move the date forward but her sister doesn't~ get pregnant for a few months and is now pregnant on the new wedding date? Does OP have to change it again?

    Shdfx1 No, because if OP tells her sister to delay getting pregnant, the sister will tell everyone she's bridezilla.

  • Seriously, is our protagonist meant to coordinate her whole life around her sister's hypothetical pregnancy?

    OP should stick to the position that her wedding has been planned for a year, and all she needs is an RSVP yes or regrets.

    KawaiiSoCalled Life This!! OPs wedding was planned first. If family really comes first, sister needs to wait to start trying for a baby.
