A woman is asking for advice because her sister is prioritizing her wedding over their relationship.

The upset woman explained in her submission that she and her sister have “always been close.” However, their dynamic is now changing because the upcoming nuptials are creating a divide between them.

“Ever since she got engaged, there’s been a bit of a distance. She’s constantly busy with wedding planning, and when we do talk, all she wants to discuss is flowers, seating charts or her bachelorette party,” she wrote. “I’m happy for her, but at a certain point it feels like she has forgotten that I have problems and things to discuss, too.”

She added: “The world doesn’t revolve around her wedding!”

The woman reached her breaking point last week when her sister laughed off their plans to spend time together. She claimed that she didn’t have any time to hang out because she’s too busy with wedding planning.

“I get that weddings are stressful, but it feels like I’m no longer important in her life,” the bride’s sister wrote.

She wants to confront her sister about how she’s feeling, but is unsure how to do so without “sounding selfish” and adding to her sister’s stress.

“Dear Sad Sister: Weddings can be all-consuming, especially for the bride, but luckily, this season won’t last forever,” Annie replied. “Try to manage your expectations of your sister for this wedding planning phase; her tunnel vision doesn’t mean that your relationship isn’t important to her. Being patient and supportive now will strengthen your bond once the wedding frenzy is old news.”

Annie agreed that if the issue persists then it would be best for the advice-seeker to have a conversation with her sister about her feelings before they boil over.

“That said, it’s always better to communicate your feelings rather than to let them turn into resentment,” she said. “If your sister’s behavior persists and continues to bother you, explain calmly that you miss spending quality time with her.”
