• Yes, we all know that the anxiety and stress of planning a wedding can cause even the most sane and composed of individuals to lose any sense of maturity they once had. As the big date approaches, your thoughts are likely consumed with logistics and pressures from various friends and family members.

  However, while we can surely empathize with that plight, picking and choosing your battles is of the utmost importance, and this woman's brother certainly did not do that.

• Not only is this 38-year-old sister in the right here, but also her brother needs to recognize when it's worth defending his fiancée over a family member's lack of self-awareness and when it's not worth it. In this case, the only people who are demonstrating that lack of self-awareness are the brother and his fiancée.

  The author may have worn a white dress, but they weren't attending an event that had anything to do with their upcoming nuptials. It was a dinner party that had absolutely nothing to do with their engagement or their impending marriage. In other words, the brother and his fiancée have no legs to stand on in this situation.

• The fact that the brother still could not see how his sister was not to blame for this silly conflict says far too much about his character. The audacity to rescind his sister's wedding invitation over a white dress at a non-wedding-related event is even more troubling. If his fiancée has him on a leash, that still does not negate the fact that the brother is a fully grown individual who can think for himself. 

  You just know that this guy tried to turn the rest of the family against his sister, even if he had absolutely no justification for disinviting her. Here's hoping that no one is pressuring the sister to apologize. If anyone should apologize, it's the couple, but by the time they figure that out, it just might be too late.
