it comes down to weighing the two events, the honeymoon exit vs the graduation, and imho the honeymoon exit weighs more since afaik the OP's fiancee has been picturing the whole thing for a long time while i doubt the fiancee's sister has been picturing her HS graduation for a long time. but i admit i don't really know how long either has been picturing either event.

Yeah, and I do agree that if neither (the sister or the fiancee) will budge, you side with the fiancee and go on the honeymoon.
 
Happy Wife, Happy life!
Do what you were told. Don't deviate from the plan.
Always answer, "Yes, dear.", "I am sorry!", and "No, that does not make you look fat."

My wife and I waited an entire year before we went on ours. Personally, I think it is silly fantasy (if that's what you want to call it) that she is so insistent on leaving the reception and going straight to the airport for the honeymoon. Trust me, most people are exhausted on the day of their wedding and waiting a day or two will really help.

yup. All any of them will want to do is sleep for a day or so anyway. there would be no memory of a limo or trip on a plane, or even the first couple of days on honeymoon.
 
Wait, wait... I got it.

Have the younger sister get ordained (openministry.org) and then have her officiate the wedding right after graduation.

So have Graduation+Wedding followed by a joint reception.

Or skip the reception if there's no time.
 
It's fucking high school. Everyone and anyone can easily graduate. It's not an achievement.

I didn't even go to mine
 
What about a 2 stage honeymoon? From the wedding, take a limo to a really nice hotel or local vacation spot. Then go to the graduation, and take a limo from that straight to the airport for stage 2?

You and your fiancee were dumb for planning the wedding like that, regardless of what the sister had said. You should not miss a family member's graduation.



1. Take a couple extra days off;
2. Ride the limo from the reception to a nice local hotel and spend a couple nights "honeymooning";
3. Go to the graduation;
4. Leave for "remainder" of honeymoon (even take a limo to the airport).

This is good advice.

Just because high school graduations are not important to you does not mean that it is not important to others. Is this a difficult concept to internalize?

Just assume that the issue with the sister is an important event that the bride-to-be would normally be expected to attend and probably, deep down, really wants to attend.
