Honeymoon as planned, or sister's graduation?

[tailes151]

I am getting married to my fiancee this coming May, and she has always wanted us to take a limo from the chapel to the airport, get on a plane, and start our honeymoon.

Unfortunately, her younger sister is having her high school graduation two days after the big date and has stated she will be upset if her sister misses her graduation for her honeymoon.

Opinions? Note: Mother-in-law will always side with younger sister.

Talk about it; if you cannot come to a mutually agreed upon solution... toss a coin or roll a die.

How did she not know when her sister was going to graduate?
That stuff is known way in advance since it basically never changes.

Otherwise if the honeymoon is something on the spur of moment like it sounds like as you have nothing set for it yet go to the graduation and go on the honeymoon a few days later as if she doesn't want to do it then remind her it's her sister and you couldn't give a shit.

Go to the gradation and then leave for the honeymoon. I don't think waiting 2 days is that big of a deal. My wife and I waited nearly a year to go on ours.

I guess it depends on how much your fiancee cares about her younger sister.

I don't give a rat's ass about graduation. If my parents didn't make me, I wouldn't have attended HS or BS... at least I skipped the ceremony for my MS. I'm also not that close to my sister; she didn't care if I attended her HS graduation & I had 0 desire, so that worked out.

I can't really detach myself from my bias--it's a fucking HS graduation, who cares. 99% certainty that the younger sister will get over it. Your fiancee needs to decide whether she'll get maximum utility from doing her dream wedding->honeymoon thing or skipping that and satisfying her sister's wishes. Like you don't want to choose option A, then spend the whole time regretting that you didn't go the other route.

lol high school graduation


but yeah keep her happy, what's a 2 day delay.

Is she that conceded and in her own world that she would not attend her sis' graduation.

Almost everyone graduates from high school. It's not a big deal... at all.

If the little sister is the ghetto type often seen in Bridezilla and the likes, reconsider, but otherwise I'd take the resort, limousine and sex.

Almost everyone gets married and goes on a honeymoon too.

 

[Matthiasa]

Oh the other option get the wedding pushed back by 2-3 days.
Could be graduation one day then wedding the next. Since graduations tend to be done on weekends.

Timing is too good to be a coincidence, your bride is trying to stick it to her little sis and maybe her Mom as well.

She wants you to man up, tell them to screw off and sweep her away.

This is a test, play it properly.

For what it's worth the date of the graduation was known when the wedding date was planned. She asked her sister at the time if she would mind if we missed her graduation and she stated, "No, it's just high school." Now her sister's saying she doesn't remember this conversation. The wedding is on a Saturday night and graduation is on Monday night

edit --

Sorry guys, no pics.

Delaying the wedding isn't an option as it's already been booked with deposit. Delaying the honeymoon means either going to work for a day and then leaving or taking an extra day of work to sit around the house and do whatever.

That seems kinda messed up, it is your wedding why would her sister want to take that away from her for her high school graduation? IMHO the younger sister should realize that it is your guys's important time and the honeymoon is a very important thing and marriage is more important then high school which in the long run is a cake walk.

 

[Matthiasa]

What kind of graduation is on a weekday...

Mine was.

Is the sister speaking at all in the graduation? Or is she just one in the sea of many?

 

[Fingolfin269]

Wow what a lame younger sister.

 

[ElFenix]

and not have a reception? most of the fun of the wedding is the reception

 

[gorcorps]

Is little sister going to college? If so, that graduation is a much bigger deal than HS. A trained chimp can get through HS. Heck, millions do every year.

 

[CRXican]

high school

BFD

 

[tailes151]

Yes, little sis is going to school to become a physician's assistant.

Also, leaving directly after the reception.

Little sis is not speaking, one of the sea.

she has always wanted us to take a limo from the chapel to the airport, get on a plane, and start our honeymoon.

Big deal. Priorities before shallow fantasies.

Stick around for the graduation, and also have a darn reception to celebrate with and thank the people who have come to attend and support your marriage, and give them a chance to hang out with each other. This is just as important imo.
