A woman was left feeling ‘sad’ after her step-sister failed to invite her to her wedding – and she had a feeling it was because she and her husband are ‘homely and overweight’
You’d like to think that your family would love and accept you no matter what you look like.
However, one woman suspected that wasn’t the case after she didn’t receive an invite to her step-sister’s very “Instagram-able” wedding – and she had a feeling it might be because of how she looked.
She said her step-sister’s wedding is due to take place in August, and as time has ticked on, it’s become clear that she and her husband are not invited. “I asked my mum about this and she confirmed it, said she had asked my stepdad about it and he just said he didn’t want to get involved”, she explained on Mumsnet.
She shared some backstory about her family relationships, writing: “Mum and him got together when the kids were older teens/young adults so step-siblings have never lived together but we’ve always got on. We all live in different cities and even countries but we have get-togethers at Christmas etc.
“The wedding is abroad and child-free (we have a few kids) but one of the other step-siblings got married last year and it was child-free and we went and had a lovely time, we had zero problems with this.”
The woman shared that she knew that the wedding was going to be “very Instagram-able”, admitting that she doesn’t “fit in” with the aesthetic, and nor does her husband.
“All their friends are glamorous and we are homely and overweight”, she claimed, adding: “They have invited family of parents, step-parents, full siblings and their partners and about 40 friends according to my mum but we haven’t made the cut.”
She then asked whether she was “unreasonable” for feeling “sad and angry” at not being invited to the wedding.
In the comments, one person wrote: “Well at least you know how they really feel about you. They don’t need much effort making in future.”
Another fumed: “Just ignore them from now on. Shown their true colours. And be relieved after the hurt has settled a bit that you haven’t got to pay out ££££ to give abroad and be celebrating the wedding of someone who is a b***h. Don’t send them a present either. No invite, no present.”
Someone else penned: “Higher your bar by not caring about them, they are the sad, plastic, fake, no substance people you really do not need to associate with.
“You say you have a few children, show them you don’t care and mean it. You are real people, they are show-offs. Carry on being the nice person you are.”
