Description

Having his angry sister attend his wedding could cause an issue.

DEAR ABBY: My younger sister and I were close growing up. We didn’t have many friends, but we were always willing to play games and have fun with each other. At one point, my sister said she wanted to marry me when we grew up. I didn’t think much of it because we were still kids, and I figured she didn’t know there were different types of love.
As we grew older, we did make our own friends, and today I’m engaged to my longtime girlfriend. My sister and my fiancee got along great during the years we were still just “boyfriend and girlfriend,” but after we announced our engagement, my sister became hostile.
As it turns out, my sister took her intention to marry me seriously, and even as we got older and she understood the difference between familial and romantic love, she carried a torch for me well into her teens.
I would like my little sister to be part of the wedding because of how important she’s been to me, but she stubbornly insists on “winning me back” from my fiancee. Is there a way to explain the reality of this situation, or are our sibling bonds done for good? -- TERRIFIED SIBLING IN CALIFORNIA
